There is no need to ask the fetus; one of the few duties of the state is to protect life, even life that cannot communicate its own wishes. A fetus yearns to become a fully functional lifeform, and the state should protect it from being killed by women who feel they don't want to let them live.

I do think we should cut some of the red tape in adoption to ensure that kids get into a family quick rather than becoming stuck in an orphanage or, even worse, foster homes. I don't see why it's terrible. Someone doesn't feel they can raise a kid. Someone else wants to raise a child but can't have one or refuses to go through birthing. The kid wins by being raised by someone who we know really wants a shot at parenthood vs. someone who does not.

I fully agree. Foster homes require far less red tape than adoption, it's crazy.
