That's an admirable position. And it's not a tadpole. It's a human being that is your child and I also find it despicable that being use them as a form of birth control. You had me a bit worried for a second because you sounded like one of those women.
But you don't agree with me, BothHands that poverty is a state that can be reversed in time? We have a welfare system that takes care of those who qualify. Killing the child is a pretty extreme alternative to living in poverty.

Don't forget about adoption. Adoption is pretty much always better than death. Unless your parents are the "balloon boy" family

It's possible, but extremely rare. These kids don't have parents to tell them to do their homework. The parents don't give a shit. You think a 6 year old has the sense to do his homework when there are no consequences (that he can understand) for not doing it? And because the parents aren't helping the kids, the teachers suffer in pay. So now you've got pissed off underpaid teachers AND shitty parents. That kid has no fuckin' chance.
Quote:

The argument was based on the fact that they want to do away with the welfare system as well as the option to have abortions. Sure, there's contraception, but these kids just don't want to use it, and there's not much we can do to change that.
Quote:

Sure it's extreme, but so is a lifetime of poverty, especially with the way things are headed. The welfare programs are getting less and less funding, and the republicans, who will surely win in 2012, are hoping to eliminate them completely.
It would be akin to euthanizing a suffering animal imo.

That's true, and a select few get extremely lucky, and find good parents. But most don't. Most find their way into group homes or foster care where they often suffer even worse than they would have in the ghettos.
It's just a bad situation all around, no matter what we do. All we can do is take the lesser of the evils and pay into the social programs to help kids with irresponsible parents.
That's my primary stance: keep the social programs open and funded. We can fix our budget by not fighting in 3 neverending wars, or fixing our corporate situation. But we have a responsibility to our citizens first. And I say that as someone who is not funded by social progams, and never has been.

It is a slander and a lie that Republicans desire to entirely eliminate the social safety net. Don't you consider that by ensuring welfare for the able bodied you encourage them to continue to be wards of the state? Because I sure as shit do. People need to shed their excuses and own their own lives. Nannies never let that happen.

BothHands said: BS on fear mongering. People in the middle and upper classes can afford to pay for their kids, even if the conception was accidental. But the impoverished people can't. They have no other options. Either get government funding to feed, cloth, and shelter their kids. Or have an abortion. Or stick the kid in a dumpster. Those are the options. And since you want to close all welfare programs completely, the best option, option 1 will be eliminated. If you eliminate option two as well, you're left with a dumpster.
no, they had the option to get off their asses, hit the health department or planned parenthood and get some of several forms of birth control offered
unfortunately they came up with an excuse that day so they couldnt get it

"Abled bodied" doesn't mean anything. You can be able bodied, but still have zero education because your asshole parents didn't make you go to school or do your homework, and your teachers' job depended on how well you did, so they just fed you all the answers. So you can work at Mc Donalds. Good luck paying rent on minimum wage. You want to eliminate the safety net for these able bodied people?
How would you regulate who got what? I'm definitely in favor of regulation at a liberal. Stereotypically so.
But how would you do it? The work that would go into comprehensive background checks on the each individual's situation to assess need would likely cost more than the welfare itself.
And I've heard several of you guys, most notibly Suess claim to want to dismantle the entire system.

They can, but they don't. So once they're already pregnant, those are the 3 options.

We are currently paying huge amounts of money to supposedly monitor welfare recipients. They are incompetent and corrupt and think they are hot shit because they can give their homeys bucks. A social sciences degree should be a disqualifier for employment in welfare management.Quote:

"eliminate entitlement programs completely" is a whole different matter to reforming the system. I've seen the former being championed by the conservatives of this site.

So you think that the current system that gives parents rewards for having children they can't support is the way to go? It is a fact of nature irrefutable that every kid is a victim of his/her parents.Quote:

I'm not so sure, but I'm not going to go look through your post history, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. In this case you're an exception, and I'm sorry I grouped you with them.

No it isn't. There are many many numerous voluntary charities set up by people who actually have knowledge of the individuals. Quote:

I don't think you're correct. Almost all of the conservatives here believe in some safety net for needy and deserving individuals. Our issue is that many undeserving individuals receive benefits, many people adjust their lifestyles to accrue benefits, and the administrators of those benefits are mindless bureaucrats at best, out-right crooks often and abusive tyrant crooks at worst.

maybe that's what's required to curb the government sponsored breeders, of course there are tens of thousands of charitable organizations with private funding that donate food, clothes and even provide for housing of the indigent especially those with children. I know a woman that brags about taking advantage of these programs through churches, collects government aid and has others paying her rent and utilities

Prisoner, how is it possible you can have no income for three years and survive? Do you mean no regular job, and you do side jobs, or no income whatsoever? There must be some morbidly obese Mexican skanks that would be willing to pay a few pesos for a gringo-man whore.
