You might want to go back and read my original post a little more carefully.
How much do you think it costs the government to feed a child from birth to 18 years +? It's nice to walk around with rose colored glasses on and say, "Hey! Step up and pay for your kid!"
News flash; They won't. We do.
There are multiple generations that have lived on welfare all their lives. Momma gets knocked up at 14, her baby gets knocked up at the same age, and 14 years later, so does her daughter. Not a ONE of them ever worked a day in their lives. Most never raised their own kids 'cause they palmed 'em off to grandma. WIC, welfare, medicade, and section 8 housing all cost BIG money to the tax payers; a h ell of a lot more than an abortion.
My attitude stems from cold, hard captialism. Not a smidgen of socialism involved.
