I answered the original scenario, how does a woman deal with the difficult pregnancy with the pregnancy help line.    The OP basically admitted that her original strawman of no place for her hypothetical woman to turn in this scenario was wrong because there was a place for help.  OP then expanded it to once the baby was born, and you've now expanded it to when the kid is 16.  [b]There are a mirade of resources available[/b]...I'm very familiar with them because I've done work assisting poor families for years.  But I don't have the time to detail every step in the process for 16 years of a hypothetical, but for early years, the pregnancy help lines have resources, past that I would refer you to Catholic Charities and Lutheran Family Services for the appropriate resources.

You must be kidding, right?

Please do detail the "mirade" (pretty sure you mean myraid here though, no?) of resources available - Catholic Charities and Lutheran Family Services are fucking jokes.  If you think for a second that these organizations provide any real MEANINGFUL help to young, let's say black, jobless women you have got to be kidding me.  Do they provide childcare so these women can work? No.  Do they provide health insurance? No.  Do they provide money for rent? No.

And all those liberal programs that would actually help are likely to be gone under the control of the "Christian" conservative right.[/quote]

Actually those programs do provide those services for poor families.  St. Martins house, St. Sebastian townhouses, Dorothy Day, St. Margaret of Cartona (sp?), TEN program, etc.   I'm sorry you think that's a "fucking joke". [/quote]
