[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pro-lifers out there, why haven't you answered the OP's question? How will a poor woman with no resources have a baby, keep her job, and pay the bills?

How about preschool, doctor visits, health insurance, clothing, medicine, dental appointments. How about when the child is 14, 15, 16...food bills increase year after year. How will this woman possibly be able to afford this??

And remember, it's possible in the opening scenario that she could have been raped. The Republican National platform is opposing abortion with NO EXCEPTIONS.[/quote]

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.  There are a mirade of resources available...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.

I ask you again, what if the woman is NOT Christian.  What if she is Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist?  Will your supposed christian charities help her?[/quote]

Yes[/quote]
