- Oh, but women sure don't "owe" anything when *they* get pregnant, then,
- do they?
-
- If a woman doesn't want a child, and doesn't think that she can support
- him/her herself, then she is under NO OBLIGATION to bring him/her into
- this world, just as I recognise NO OBLIGATION to pay for a child whom
- I have chosen during pregnancy, not to support, either.
-
- And don't be telling me about having to spend taxpayer's money - Perhaps
- such amounts should be *lowered* as a disincentive to bring a child into
- the world who cannot be supported by his/her parents. It will, sadly
- also increase the number of abortions and adoptions, but it would also
- reduce the need for people to bemoan their lost tax dollars.
