[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So are you saying my disabled child isn't worth $10 million? What about a child with Down Syndrome? Autism? Should we just kill them all? [/quote]

No, we're just asking who you think should foot the bill.  Is it individual families who get to decide how to apportion their resources? Or does the government decide, and then take on the responsibility for supporting them?  Give me a practical solution here, not just this emotional Rah Rah for Life.  We all like life. There's also this thing called reality, finite resources, etc.  Tell me who's responsible for taking on this financial burden -- the government via increased taxation, or individual families (whose other children will likely suffer)?[/quote]

As for footing the bill what about births in the USA where the parents are NOT US citizens?  [b]Another good point for no birthright citizenship.[/b]  The zika baby in NJ's mother was from Honduras

Are these women citizens?  http://www.cbsnews.com/news/10-pregnant-women-dallas-zika-virus/[/quote]

Nice attempt to dodge the question. Try to stick to the real issue:  who will fund Zika babies in the US? You still haven't answered the basic question. [/quote]
