Thread Name: BS: Poverty in the USA
Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
Here's the deal..the moral society runs two ways...the haves do have an obligation to help the unfortunate, and the have nots have to totally behave themselves so as to cause the least amount of burden to the taxpayers, who themselves are working in coal mines, 7-11s, etc.

I can not say strongly enough how much I hate the idea of a woman deciding that she can just go ahead and have a baby without benefit of marriage. I think it is child abuse in some cases because some children, not all, suffer tremendously from lack of a father. I am not talking poor women, uneducated women, I am talking about Katie Holmes, Movie Star...rich women, powerful women. I think it is just plain an awful thing to do. There is no shortage of children to adopt or take in as foster children (and yes I would have like to do it myself and might be able to when I retire..foster, not adoption). It is unbearably cruel to some, not all children, to deny them a father, and not just a father, but the father's economic support, the father's family...I could go on and on. I am passionate about this. mg
