[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Birth control must be free and actively offered to families in crisis levels of poverty.   How different things would be.[/quote]

Uhhh... you don't know much about birth control, do you?  It is free for poor people.  [/quote]
And you can’t force anyone to practice birth control.  I also find this line of thinking very insulting-that the solution to the problem is simply to make “less of them”.  Awfully close to what the racist Margaret Sanger was in favor of.
The solution is reinforcing morality and responsibility in families.  But that’s anathema these days.[/quote]

+1 yes![/quote]

But how would you "reinforce morality and responsibility in families"? Do you want the government to do it? If so, how? Through what mechanism? Or do you think people need more religion in their lives? Again, how are you going to make people go to church, get involved in youth groups, etc.?  I'm not arguing with you. I just want to understand HOW exactly you would "reinforce morality and responsibility" in families. In America, specifically.[/quote]

It's the teachers that are being tasked with doing because so many students are not getting this in the home.

And I get the part about absentee fathers because what does that say to a child about their value?. If a parent who you know is suppose to love and want you does not, it leaves a hard hard stain.

I can see a child identifying with the idea that "If dad can shun his responsibilities, then I will too because I am cut from the same cloth"..And in a strange way somehow I can see those internal dialogue bringing a child somewhat closer to the parent they yearn for.[/quote]
It’s a hollow and broken culture that allows, even celebrates it seems, irresponsible lifestyles with zero consequences that leaves the next generation no hope.[/quote]
