Another reason to curtail social welfare: it encourages the rationalization of the discarding of the concept of sanctity of human life, and does so in the name of fiscal responsibility.
Don't do the crime if you don't want to do the time.
Right. That's why the biggest problem should be addressed (pre-marital sex) instead of preaching about a consequence (abortion). But when I bring it up to teach kids that...well...even freepers plead guilty...and continue preaching about something that happens after the crime. It's like shutting the barn door after the horse got out. So...it sounds as if this problem will always be. People will get pregnant and have abortions.
Nip it in the bud. Start at the beginning ... Pre-marital sex. If people really care about abortion...preach against pre-marital sex. You will stop alot of abortions that way. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time (time=raising kids).
