‘Can’t feed ‘em, don’t breed ‘em.’
Sounds pretty low class and callous and down right liberal. Count me out.
The author doesn’t come across as a ‘conservative’... unless this was meant to be funny or something.
It is the Sangerie materialists who compare human procreation with animal breeding. No common ground here.
Illogical premise.
No woman is required to raise and support (feed) a child she bears. There is no such law, at least not in the USA and probably not in any Western country.
Therefore, abortion with the excuse of “I can’t afford to raise the child” is a illogical cop-out.
Hard to believe no one hear knows Wonkette, the former self-described conservative blogger, now turned liberal.
I don’t recall “safety net” as one of the limited and enumerated powers.
Often, it has been sited that women have very little upper body strength, but that their legs are extremely strong and can be used for self defense.
Why can’t they be FIRMLY CLOSED, women!!!???
Just breed and have them out of wedlock and feed them with that ‘free’ EBT card.
1) Woman has kid.
2) Grandma calls up Child Protective Services, informs them that the mother is unable to properly care for the child, says the child needs to be in foster care. CPS agrees.
3) Grandma agrees to be the foster parent for the child.
4) Grandma gets paid between $400 and $700 per month per child to be the foster parent. If she handles eight kids, then that's $67K per year, tax free, plus food stamps, WIC, Medicaid, Section 8 housing, etc. The rates may more than double if the child is deemed "medically fragile".
California has over 81,000 kids in foster care, at a cost of around (est average $500/mo times 81K) $486M per year.
Many in Republican circles support abortion because they presume that babies born into poverty would somehow cost tax dollars.
That’s the kind of anti-life attitude bred by slogans like the one in this article.
Seems like murderous “pro-choicers” always miss one option: If you can’t feed your child, give him up for adoption. There are people going to China to adopt children because the system (and the law) make adoption in the US so onerous here. Change that and the problem disappears.
Put the child up for adoption - then leave the REAL parents alone to raise them.
