4. Allowing easy access to convenience abortion provides a moral hazard that only encourages irresponsible and illegal sexual activity.
What Illegal sexual activity are you refering too? I didn't know of any form of sexual activty short of rape that is illegal.
If I was president, I'd run a campaign that put all deadbeat parents into a "CC-type-camp." The deadbeat did work for the US government (we have alot that needs done), and the paycheck goes to the kid.
Then I would run against you on the platform women responsibilty you want the right to choose your own destiny then you should flip the bill for it yourself.
Susan B. Anthony was against abortion for the very reason that it would open up this problem. Though I say it needed to be opened up.
I would to add to this though, I would pay the mother to stay home with the child if she chose to have it, with government funds on the condition that she sterilizer herself form having futher children.
I honestly don't think alot of women want to abort their child. But, they do so as a practical reason knowing that the sperm donor will never open his wallet.
There you go putting $$$ on a LIFE. If the father doesn't want the child, and the mother doesn't want it either -- even going to the extreme of murdering it while still in her womb -- why not give the child up for adoption. There are couples literally begging for a child...people who would love and cherish it and care for it. Give the little one its chance to live the life that was conceived.
Journey,
I agree with you.
5go,
The problem of deadbeat dads is a BIG problem. Divorced women live almost in poverty. My past secretary is in a terrible, terrible fix. Why? Her ex hasn't paid a dime since her divorce two years ago. Child care costs $400-$800 a month, depending on child's age. That doesn't count the food, clothes, recreation, health insurance, larger apartment, etc. The State law calculates a reasonable amount of child support payments, based on both parent's income levels. Yes, even though the amount is reasonable...dad's do not pay. I've seen many a doctor/lawyer dad not pay....even though they own fancy cars.
However, Kudos to all the outstanding men who honor the child with their time, care, wisdom, & support. These are the real men.
The US courts will not permit mandated sterization - not even for child molesters, prisoners, or the severy disabled. Procreation is a fundamental right. This is not China.
To make young people responsible, we've got to change the young woman's & public opinion that unprotected sex is ok & better. We also have to teach them that if they don't use birth control - to keep their legs closed.
Plus, now for some young people, it's "vogue" to be like Madonna & other stars who have children out of wedlock. While a fetus is saved, the hardships of teenage pregnancy is unreal. There are no butlers, nannys, and million dollar bank accounts.
In France, the government gives much more support to unwed mothers. However, the French tax system is very high.
Yes, adoption is a better answer than abortion, in most situations.

My answer: Only if it's convenient. Life is life unless I make the mistake.
I'm against abortion. Especially since I know people who've used abortion as a form of birth control. Although I feel differently when it comes to rape or incest.
It doesn't matter what my opinion is, but I'll tell you one thing.
Last night, I saw a video about abortion........I sat in front of my computer screen, tears streaming down my face. That is something I'll never ever forget. They are alive....little tiny human beings....they are formed, little faces, little arms, legs, hands and feet; they bleed.
It was the single most disgusting video I've ever seen.
Every situation is different....but if everyone saw this video, I think many would change their minds.
If there are couples begging for a child, and they are not getting one, it is not for the lack of available children. Either they are not fit to be parents or they haven't found a baby that is the cute enough or that is the right color. There are orphans begging for parents. Many never get adopted and then get kicked out of the foster care system at 18. There is no shortage of children available for adoption.
Abortion is a better option than the chance for adoption in my opinion. I am not moved by attempts to sensationalize abortion by calling it murder. It is birth control of last resort. And a sound economic decision in many situations.
