Quote:If a woman is going to have one, I would prefer it be done early on. But I don't make that choice. Again, I don't deny one's right to a Pro Life stance, but I also think it is convenient to not take into account who will raise and pay for that unwanted child. I can barely afford the one I have and I spend hours teaching her and loving her. What kind of life is this unwanted kid gonna have on their own or as a ward of the state? Our foster care system is terrifying. And some propose doing away with the Dept of Education. The odds keep getting stacked against them. Once the kids are out of the womb, the loudest Pro Life politicians vote against any program that would help these kids.

 

Adoption is very expensive, and there are plenty of families who are looking to adopt.  The foster system is filled with a lot of kids who were mistreated by their parents (malnourished, abused).

 

When I see a malnourished baby I think, "Some people should not be allowed to have children."  I don't care.  That is just how I think.  At some point, if you are a low life, in and out of jail, you should be snipped.  That would reduce a lot of suffering for innocent children.  How is that for big government?
