Do you realize how fucking expensive it is to let homelessness get out of control like that? There has to be a well-designed, organized government-led effort to get these people into drug rehab if they need it and into housing. Yes, the government, not a church ministry, but a government can even force the homeless drug addicts that are using the city sidewalks as living spaces and places to use their drugs, urinate, defecate, commit crimes..etc, into drug-rehab programs (or mental institutions) if they refuse to get off of drugs.
If people can't function because they insist on using narcotics, they should be adjudicated, committed to the psycheward. Those who decide they want to stop destroying themselves and their communities with substance abuse, and want to get back on their feet should be housed and provided with a foundation upon which to rebuild their lives. The government should develop the infrastructure that ensures these people are housed, fed, given access to healthcare, and vocational-job training to get back on their feet.
The government can also provide jobs to people who have been out of work for an extended period of time, helping them create a work history.
If the so called "pro-lifers" are against all of the above, they're hypocrites. They're not pro-life, they're just full of shit. Why should anyone take their "concern" for embryos and fetuses seriously?
