US families have adopted 82,674 children from China, the most of any country, with diplomats seeking clarity for hundreds of families in the process of international adoption

A huge difference being the constant actual legislative attempts and executive orders over the past 40 years to undermine abortion rights, whereas immigration remains a topic that only inspires grandstanding. Hell, even the grandstanding isn’t even about immigration as a whole, it’s only about undocumented immigrants crossing the Mexican border, building a wall on the Mexican border, or sending troops to the Mexican border.
