RIGHT TO ABORTION – A few hours following the revocation of the right to abortion by the US Supreme Court, many demonstrators came to challenge this decision, when others came to celebrate it. Copiously relayed on Twitter, a photo taken in front of the American institution, shows a couple holding a sign which made defenders of the right to resort to abortion jump.
“We will adopt your child!”, Can we read on the piece of cardboard that has made the rounds of social networks. All smiles, this American couple offers women who will no longer have the right to terminate their pregnancy, to adopt their child. A supposedly generous offer, which has flourished in other forms elsewhere on the Internet and all over the country.
Horrified, Victoria Richards, journalist from The Independent reacted to this proposal with cruel cynicism: “The last house I would want my baby to end up in is the one in which parents believe that women should not make their own choices with their bodies,” she wrote. “Hundreds of thousands of children are already in need of adoption in the United States”, exclaims a user on Twitter. Why haven’t you already done this?”
On social networks, many Internet users have preferred to illustrate their anger by diverting the sign … Or by putting this proposal in the mouths of characters to whom no one would like to entrust a child. Internet users have notably used references to the series Tiger Kingto two demonstrators who had threatened Black Lives Matter demonstrations, or to the rather absent parents of the heroine of the animated film Coraline.
Many Internet users have also denounced a particularly hypocritical sign while hundreds of thousands of American children live in homes.
