[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I truly believe that making birth control and abortions free and available on demand would greatly reduce these terrible situations.[/quote]

I don't.   Both birth control and abortions, even if paid "out of pocket" are cheaper than the cost of raising a child.   Now, if you tell me that eliminating any type of cash welfare benefits + providing a financial benefit for relinquishing HEALTHY (not born drug/alcohol addicted) infants for adoption would greatly reduce these situations...THAT I would believe.[/quote]

Ok, but your argument fails here: 16 year old girl gets pregnant. She's poor. She's never known what regular family life is like. An abortion at Planned Parenthood is $400, give or take. What sounds more immediately surmountable to her- going through the pregnancy, figuring it out once the baby comes? Or coming up with $400? Who's around to give her sound advice on how hard her life will be once the baby comes? And let's face it, if you don't really plan to stop partying, drinking, drugging and going out and expect the baby to just fend for itself, like many of these young, uneducated, underprivileged mothers do, what sounds so hard about mothering anyway? You are applying middle/upper class logic to a situation where it cannot possibly exist. [/quote]
