But what about the children????
(Those are the MOST EXPENSIVE words in the English language)
If you can't feed 'em, don't have 'em.
Might make you feel better by saying that, but there is a problem you don't address. Children don't have a CHOICE! I guarantee you are pro-life. So if a girl gets knocked up, you won't give her a choice but to have the baby. When the child is here they are expensive. HELL food is expensive. Kids need to eat.
It is unconcionable to think that we will punish a child for the misfortunes of being born to dead beat parent, down on their luck parents or just unskill or unemployed parents. Sorry I just can't support that reason. A child is 100% dependent on the parent for food, clothes, shelter, money and their general well being! They can't work or do much to change their situation!
Who said punish the child? I and others simply stay stop rewarding the parent. You want to take care of children unfortunate enough to be born to bad parents? Take them away and put them someplace they can be cared for, instead of handing the irresponsible parents more money and enabling them to continue sitting on their asses and breeding even more children they aren't going to take care of.
The more you say, "Oh, that's okay, we'll just step in and take over all responsibility for you because we don't want your children to suffer", the more you're going to HAVE to do that, because it's human nature to take advantage of suckers and chumps.
