If it were a “clinic sink” rather than an “apartment sink,” it would not have been illegal.
I’m guessing these cases are more like post birth abortions.
“Went to your site, it doesnt have jack about this story and it was a waste of time.”
It’s not *my* site, by the way.
The site is:

And the information is after the “fold”.
GEEEEZ!!
“The most rational solution is probably this: children ought to be taken out of custody of single working mothers earning less than a living wage, and put in foster homes or given to adoption agencies.”
To people like you, there’s no problem which can’t be solved by gov’t.
Your solution is ridiculous. FR has been overrun by nanny-staters like you.
I think this is some of that "new direction" stuff that the 'RATS were pimping prior to the last election.
“Well, if the father leaves, what do you suggest should be done?”
Well, they could do what my mom did; she worked three jobs to afford a babysitter. Of course, that would require something like personal responsibility, so it’s probably not really possible.
Stick around? After the free sex?
Why?
“When dad leaves - terrible things happen.”
No disputing that.
But what makes you believe that there was anything other than an anonymous sperm donor in this situation?
Single moms often occur because women get pregnant out of wedlock (which seems to be increasingly socially acceptable).
Many times it has nothing to do with a father not sticking around: they don’t even know who the father is.
Well, it's the same situation if you're making a moderately high income. I don't qualify for ANY government handouts, and I sure as hell can't afford "private child care." That's why my wife and I raise our children. It's much easier to do with a partner, a hard-won bit of wisdom casually discarded by the modern progressive ethos.

“To people like you, theres no problem which cant be solved by govt.”
Adoption is a government solution? How? Last time I checked, private couples adopt, not the government.
is there no end to man’s inhumanity toward children?
“That’s why my wife and I raise our children. It’s much easier to do with a partner, a hard-won bit of wisdom casually discarded by the modern progressive ethos.”
What should those women who have been divorced or widowed do? Any thoughts about this?
Ignore him, he’s a troll.
This is the gubmint solution part:
children ought to be taken out of custody of single working mothers
Who did you think would do the “taking”? David Bowie?
My grandma was divorced and raised 3 kids on her own, during the depression, in Alabama, when it was MUCH harder than it is today for a woman to make a living. Somehow she managed without neglecting or abusing her kids. Get a grip, buddy.
What should they do? How the hell should I know? Make do the best they can, I guess. Count on family or friends. join a church and contribute to a church community? What they would get in return would astound them.
Is YOUR only solution to run to the government?
The culture of abortion rears its ugly head (again)...
