Looks like the right is going to have a LOT of "babies" to take care of--at their expense.

Oh, there are more than that. Remember Bush #43'a posturing about "snowflake babies"?

from the net sifter:

"George Bush snowflake babies" refers to children born from embryos adopted through the Snowflakes program, an agency supported by then-President George W. Bush. In 2005, President Bush hosted 21 "snowflake babies" and their families at the White House to highlight his support for embryo adoption as a "life-affirming" alternative to embryo destruction for research. The term "snowflake baby" itself was coined by the Snowflakes program to emphasize the unique, frozen status of each embryo.

The Snowflakes Program: This is a program run by Nightlight Christian Adoptions that matches couples with unused, frozen embryos (from in vitro fertilization) with other couples who wish to adopt and carry them to term.

President Bush's Involvement: President Bush supported the Snowflakes program as a way to provide an option for embryos that might otherwise be discarded or used for research. He invited families to the White House to publicize this alternative and has supported federal funding for programs that promote embryo adoption.
