Re: Dead Beat Dad\'s-Government Inefficiency, or, why welfare isn\'t so
[ QUOTE ]
I got a new plan. How about the women in question...
1) Not be [censored] by someone who will likely end up a dead beat dad.
2) Use suffient protection
[/ QUOTE ]Both are ridiculously sexist.[ QUOTE ]
3) Get an abortion
[/ QUOTE ]Some are morally opposed, some can't afford it, some find out they're pregnant too late in the pregnancy, some are under extreme pressure from their family / church / friends / community not to. Every pro-choice girl I've ever talked to about the issue has said they'd never get an abortion themselves.[ QUOTE ]
4) put the kid up for adoption
[/ QUOTE ]As a guy I understand this argument, but women are very often just unable to do this, and if they do they suffer psychological effects their entire lives[ QUOTE ]
5) Rely on friends and family
[/ QUOTE ]You think the people who need child support have those resources? If your sister got knocked up do you think you'd be responsible for supporting the kid?[ QUOTE ]
6) Rely on charity
[/ QUOTE ]Riiiiiight. Not only is the amount of charity out there small, but it often comes with stipulations.
