I heard the interview with the lady who started that organization. Super interesting. People claimed she was racist but they did not know is she is married to a black man .

I didn't know she was married to a black guy, but I heard her on the radio once. She presented a very compelling case about these drug addicted women who neither wanted or were able to care for an infant. It was all voluntary. It made perfect sense to me.

However, the counter argument was that by offering $500 to drug addicts, you were basically tempting them to feed their addiction. And, of course, the standard default argument of racism.
