And in many families, family takes care of family, you know, like it was before welfare and government help. It would be a cold day in hell before I’d allow my blood to be given away to strangers. Some of these posts act like it’s the duty of unwed mothers to provide babies for those who can’t have their own. How sick is that?
I have no problem with adoption as long as the birth parents choose to give up their baby for adoption. A couple unable to have their own biological kids have no right/entitlement to another’s child.
If families want to care for these children, it is certainly their business. But it is not my duty or my business or my responsibility or that of any taxpayer, to be forced into paying to raise, and feed and clothe these children, many of whom are brought into the world for that very purpose (to get mommy some free cash), also sickening, and in some cases, obscene.
Furthermore, today's situation is so bizarre, that young single motherhood, is becoming both equal in number and stature to married couple parenthood. As if one of those choices is as good as the other...it isn't.
The two best options, in most cases are to either get married and raise the child, or give the child up for adoption.
How sick is it for unwed mothers to expect the taxpayers to support their bastards ? Especially serial bastards.
Forced adoption would of course be wrong, as would forced sterilization.
But there has to be some middle ground here. If you cannot support your children you do not deserve to have them. Parenthood is about you doing things for your children, not your children being your emotional props or merit badges.
Amen.
