[Image description: a series of tweets. The first is from Victoria Holmes, @spyturtle96, timestamped 3:06 PM, 04 May 22, with text as follows:

"Adoptees have been saying non-stop for months if not years they're getting ready for another baby scoop era and no one listened to us. And now "domestic supply of infants" is in a draft and people still won't listen to us."

It is tagged "#adopteevoices".

The next two are from Kim Penn, @kim_penn The first is timestamped 10:08 PM, 02 May 22 and contains the following text:

"I'm a very small Twitter voice, but I am begging my non-adoptee followers to educate yourself about what adoption is, what it does, and how evil and corrupt the adoption industry was and is. Listen to #adopteevoices. And then get your asses in the fight with us to end the system."

The second is timestamped 9:58 AM, 03 May 22, and contains the following text:

"I promise you, adoption is absolutely NOT the win/win, fucking fairy tale, happy ending you've been led to believe. For every #adoptee, our story begins with loss. That's our baseline. Any "happy ending" without acknowledging that is empty and an illusion."

It is tagged "#adopteevoices".

The final three are a Twitter thread from Laney (followed by three Chinese characters), @Lane_Xue, timestamped 8:55 PM, 03 May 22. The first contains text as follows:

"My parents faced reproductive, economic, social, & political injustice. I was relinquished because they could not keep me & I'm an adoptee. I am not a fucking (chess pawn emoji). Do not use my family separation to justify your desire to control others reproductive health care."

The second contains text as follows:

"Abortion is a reproductive decision.

Adoption is a parenting decision often made by poor, young, economically disenfranchised people not given the resources or support to raise their children.

Do not conflate the 2 to justify feeding the adoption industries demand for (baby's face emoji)."

The third contains text as follows:

"Do not fucking ask adoptees if they'd rather have been aborted. Adoptees are already 4x more likely to attempt suicide than non-adopted people.

The reason someone needs an abortion is none of your business."

All three are tagged "#adopteevoices".

After the final tweet there is a link to ncbi.nlm.nih.gov with the beginning of a title, "Risk of Suicide Attemptin Adopted and Nonadpoted Off…"

Untitled: The Abortion Pastels (1998), Paula Rego

In 1998, Portuguese artist Paula Rego made the series titled Untitled: The Abortion Pastels in response to a proposed referendum that would legalize abortion in Portugal that was narrowly shot down. Each piece in the series depicts a woman undergoing an unsafe abortion.

Meant to be uncomfortable, the series went against the trends of depicted womanhood in art at the time and previously. Rego brought to light the things that were swept under the rug, exhibiting in capital of the country, Lisbon.

Her work is stated to be imperative to the changing of public opinion in favor of pro-choice legislation.
