...it would cost at least a thousand times more to fund the hordes of unwanted babies which would otherwise be born.

Would you rather those babies be dead?

If they abort early, yes, but I'd much rather they get these girls onto reliable contraceptives before to comes to that, and that's what they're trying to do. I live in NYC where an appalling number of children -- nearly all unwanted in the first place -- are being viciously abused, and all too often killed, and many more are simply being ignored, and grow up to join gangs and kill people. Social services are overwhelmed and safe foster homes are unavailable. Blathering about how nobody should have sex before marriage has nothing to do with reality on the streets of most of the medium and large cities in this country. Utterly unsupervised adolescents and teens, many born to utterly unsupervised adolescents and teens themselves, are breeding like feral cats, and are no more likely to heed prudish lectures than feral cats are. They might heed some contraceptive advice from someone who's giving them a free iPod, though -- sad, but true.

The dynamic for those "unwanted babies" would be no different than others. Some would do well and some would not but I think most of them would desire to be alive if given the option to consider the question. People would have to take responsibility for them. We have pay the wages of unwanted bureaucrats and dealing with 11 million illegal aliens a few more children would be a small cost in comparison.

I Was Yours

Momma don't cry, you didn't want to hold me.
Momma you've got pride,
No cries from my cradle,
Momma you're alive, why did you hate me?

You didn't even try,
When the Doctor came to take me.
Momma oh why, didn't you love me?

You didn't see my eyes, my fingers, my toes,
You never even saw my cute little nose,
Momma I was your little baby...

Did you look to your tummy when I was
inside? Did you feel my kick, when I was
alive? Momma I loved you, didn't you know?
I needed you Mommy, I needed to grow.

I needed your kisses; I needed your hugs,
I needed to feel, that I was loved.
You said it was your choice, that I must die,
That I wasn't really, really alive...

You weren't ready for me, but I had no
choice, you were my Mommy, I was yours.

"unwanted babies"

What an entirely absurd bit of sophistry THAT term is. There is NO such thing as an "unwanted baby." Such a thing does not exist.
