Abortion advocates questioned why they didn’t instead call for expansive government aid policies, such as free childcare, housing, and welfare packages. They slammed the couple for not acknowledging the emotional trauma caused by giving a child away. They even questioned whether, as white people, they would adopt a nonwhite child.
