Bill Clinton signed ASFA in 1997, a law incidentally designed by Hillary. And like most large legislative efforts by the Clintons, it was a sardonic scheme wrapped in sanctimonious spin.

It created a 14 billion a year industry around >100.000 children taken away EVERY YEAR from parents for as little as a bong in the table.

This is unprecedented in the Western world. Nowhere else has this adoption aka child stealing industry taken on such a mass aspect.

Over ten years that is more than one million children victimized by this vile racket. That is a holocaust (if you believe in that stuff) every half century.

Persactly!

ASFA = Adoption and Safe Families Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoption_and_Safe_Families_Act

(bolding mine)

"ASFA was enacted in an attempt to correct problems that were inherent in the foster care system that deterred the adoption of children with special needs. Many of these problems had stemmed from an earlier bill, the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980,[1] although they had not been anticipated when that law was passed, as states decided to interpret that law as requiring biological families be kept together no matter what.[1] The biggest change to the law was how ASFA amended Title IV-E of the Social Security Act regarding funding.

Moreover, ****ASFA marked a fundamental change to child welfare thinking, shifting the emphasis towards children's health and safety concerns and away from a policy of reuniting children with their birth parents ****without regard to prior abusiveness.[1] As such, ASFA was considered the most sweeping change to the U.S. adoption and foster care system in some two decades.[1] One of ASFA's lead sponsors, Republican Senator John H. Chafee of Rhode Island, said, "We will not continue the current system of always putting the needs and rights of the biological parents first. ... It's time we recognize that some families simply cannot and should not be kept together."[1]

ALL of these laws have Orwellian titles once you find out what they are REALLY about.
