(Video: MSNBC)
An MSNBC panel went beyond merely presenting their opinion as fact Saturday on the potential outcomes of Roe v. Wade being overturned when they cherrypicked data to support an outright falsehood in order to force a racially driven narrative against adoption, saying it is “not always a safe route, particularly for black and brown kids.”
During “The Cross Connection,” host Tiffany Cross was joined in part by Michelle Colon, the executive director of Sisters Helping Every Woman Rise and Organize (SHERo), an abortion advocacy group, to discuss the leak out of the Supreme Court. That leak was of Justice Samuel Alito’s draft majority opinion in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that, if affirmed, would result in the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the summer.
In conversation, Cross raised the abortion alternative of adoption and said, “This whole notion that, you know, women should have children and just you know, let the kids get adopted, well, that’s not always a safe route, particularly for black and brown kids.”
“Black kids do not get adopted, often, there are – we have stats on it,” she argued. “There are often kids who stay in the system for a long time. When you look at the stats of who gets adopted it is disproportionately white children,” the host further claimed as she presented a chart comprised of selective data that reported 25,257 black children and 26,520 Hispanic children waiting for adoption in 2020.
Of course, what Cross failed to acknowledge was that her chart did not show the number of white children waiting to be adopted which, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration on Children, Youth and Families data that she was citing, amounts to 51,128 as of September 30, 2020, or 44 percent of all children waiting to be adopted.
Cross may have had a better argument if she had attempted to present the fact that of the near 60,000 adoptions that occurred in 2020 with public agency involvement, 51 percent were of white children whereas 17 and 20 percent were of black and Hispanic children respectively. However, even that would be disingenuous because it neglects the reality that the percentage of adopted children by race is nearly proportional to the percentage of children up for adoption.
She persisted with her argument nonetheless and asked her guest, “So when people say…that’s a better path for women, what would be your response?”
Colon agreed with the incomplete data presented and said, “There is no rush to adopt black babies or brown babies, let’s be clear about that, just like there is no rush by the Republicans and the anti-abortion terrorists and lawmakers in protecting and safeguarding the life of black and brown children and black and brown people in this country.”
If there were any remaining doubts that the panel was not attempting to present a factual and unbiased argument in favor of abortion, Cross’ decision to insist Colon “has a point” on pro-life causes being “achieved through violence” again utilized selective data.
This time, Cross cited the National Abortion Federation, a professional association of abortion providers that states its mission is to “unite, represent, serve, and support abortion providers in delivering patient-centered, evidence-based care.”

pro-choice means you can choose to keep it in your pants, you can choose to not spread your legs, you can choose to wear a rubber, or you can talk to Michelle Colon about anal sex. Of course with anal sex you run the risk of bringing another democrat into the world.
Yeah, look at Colin Kapernick; an unwanted black child, adopted by white folks, and now an unwanted black quarterback.
Too many black fathers don’t even want their own kids, what makes you think they would want somebody elses?
So not true! Many black and brown babies are adopted – and many adopted by white people.
Soooo, murdering black and brown babies is preferable? Good grief.
Black Teen and Pre-Teens still have the highest rate of Pregnancy in the country. Perhaps instead of allowing Abortion these young Girls should be taught Not to Have Sex. I don’t understand why Blacks stand so strongly For Planned Parenthood, when you consider that the Founder of the organization is a Racist and her main goal was to Reduce the Black Population. Abortion is NOT Birth Control, keeping you pants on IS Birth Control.
But I guess for black an brown babies ending up in a poly bag in the dumpster is a better way to go.
Let’s see – in BUSINESS you IDENTIFY the PROBLEM and THEN your IDENTIFY the CAUSES of the PROBLEM and THEN you CHANGE the ACTIONS that RESULT in the CAUSES! Abortion is the PROBLEM. The CAUSE is UNPROTECTED SEX. The SIMPLE SOLUTION is to engage in ONLY PROTECTED SEX! NOW, HOW do you MAKE people do that?? You either teach them the CONSEQUENCES of UNPROTECTED SEX or you continue with the insanity! WHO is causing all the abortions? FIND OUT! WHO is the “spermer”? FIND OUT! NO BENEFITS until the spermer is IDENTIFIED and HELD ACCOUNTABLE for HIS child (no HER can sperm a child)!! ENFORCE THE LAW!! THEN all the “MEN??” will either be FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE for that child or take the NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS! AND A FINAL POINT – REQUIRE ALL DONATIONS BY PLANNED PARENTHOOD and OTHER ABORTION PROVIDERS TO BE ALLOCATED EXCLUSIVELY TO REPUBLICAN CONGRESS CRITTERS!
You don’t kill your baby because you don’t think it will be adopted. How does she know that anyway? She is a lunatic.
BIZ PAC your comment section is one of the worst among media. The constant videos popping up, the constant spammers etc. Get a grip.
That may be true, but there is only one outcome for a murdered baby.
The modern day version of everything Black America. FK everyone else!
So they support Planned Parenthood’s original goal of aborting the Black race to extinction.
In all my 63 years, I don not know of a family of color adopting a white child. Am I wrong?
With respect, yes, you are wrong. You can find stories about them….the problem is these families have to deal with their minority communities giving them grief. And with threats against the children. While racism has dramatically decreased among the white population, minorities still have a ways to go.
First and foremost, adoption needs to become as inexpensive as abortion. I understand that adoption is very costly, which it shouldn’t be. I grew up with 2 adopted siblings, of which my folks would not have been able to afford in today’s systems. Yes, adoption should be selective, of course, but not costly.
Second, IF today’s women (who seek abortions) would learn self-control and modesty, they’d be far, far less likely to find themselves in this predicament. Then, on top of that, if one wishes to be “active” and not be self-controlled, the array of birth control is so prevelant & cheap that it is, to me, rediculous that anyone would need or want a surgical proceedure, except in tremendously rare situations.
Think about it – in today’s world, it’s crazy to even think about common abortions, with the array of cheap/free birth controls, including the “morning after”. This is 99.8% based on the laziness & lack of self-control of a segment of our society… to the detriment of a large portion of our society that looses opportunities to even exist!
Well abortion is 100% certain so she has that going for her.
Amazing that she can posit this as some sort of intellectual argument and the libs nod in agreement.
Shows the IQ factor of filthy liberals
“Adoption not often the safe route for black and brown babies.” Of course. Abortion is MUCH safer, right? Racists.
If Dead Babies, the old tongue-in-cheek song from the seventies by Alice Cooper, isn’t the abortion industry’s theme song, it certainly should be.
Democrats have become fanatical in their support of Dead Babies. Any excuse to defend abortion and abortionists is a good one.
