Well, I'm a citizen. But I sure as heck didn't join some kind of big government-run commune like you just described.

Oh, yes you did. "..a governement Of the people, For the people, and By the people..." Lincoln knew what that meant. Maybe you need to think about it and decide what your role in this "commune" really is.

Let me rephrase. I didn't join voluntarily.
Everyone has the right to just be left alone. Government's sole source of power is from the people. People don't have the right to force other people to provide for another's needs. Whether it's one or 100,000.
Obviously, if there were only a few of these babies, private charities could and would care for them. With my support.
My role/obligation in society (not commune, since I'm not a communist) is to live and let live, not to try to force others to do what I think they should.
