No, what I am saying is that struggling families have an abundance of resources available to help them get on their feet, and if applied properly, can be utilized to carry them through a personal financial crisis while the family works to stabilize their situation.So the struggling family only matters/warrants financial support during the pregnancy is basically what you are saying... once that baby is born pull yourself up by your bootstraps?
73% cite financial inability to care for a child, not financial inability to get through the pregnancy. I wish you guys would stop calling yourself pro life and just say anti abortion. It would be so much more honest... as I said we are just running around in circles so I will leave, got pulled back by artfuls somewhat different question and should have known better.
Happy Valentine’s Day! Enjoy
They are meant to be used temporarily to ease the burden of extreme or unexpected hardship, not become a never ending handout & a lifestyle of entitlement at the expense of others.
What kind of healthy, able-bodied, grown adult would expect, or even WANT to rely on the government to perpetually support their own family??!
That is shameful, lazy, asinine & flies in the face of everything this country stands for.
There is a difference between, say.......a battered woman who collects food stamps & vouchers for safe housing for herself and her 3 kids because she is fleeing her abusive ex-husband & is attending a technical school to get training to support herself & her kids so they don’t have to live in fear for their lives.....vs. a deadbeat bum of a father who is too lazy to get a job & would rather collect those same benefits just so he can lay around on the couch all day, drinking MD 20/20 and eating chips off his belly.
Hopefully you see the difference.
And yes——I am absolutely anti-abortion.
As I said earlier, I firmly believe abortion at any stage should be criminalized.
And EVERYONE, apart from the very wealthy, worries that they don’t have enough to support a child. And usually, those doubts are just natural apprehension we all get when facing a new responsibility, and they lift as you journey through parenthood, you realize that all a child really needs (that costs money) is food, shelter, & clothing.
Everything else they need, like tons of love, discipline, guidance, attention, play, etc...comes from the parents intuitively.
Society used to understand this. Not so long ago, children were correctly seen as a blessing instead of a burden, and families were larger, and this taught children to naturally be unselfish, to work together, to work hard and be thankful for the things they had.
Nowadays, people would rather have fewer kids, and spoil them rotten. Our thinking is backwards.
As I pointed out already, the decision to kill a child is made primarily out of selfishness.
Being a parent means you must now care more for the life you have created than your own, and your life no longer revolves around yourself. You cannot go out and do whatever you want, whenever you want.
It requires self-discipline, responsibility, accountability & availability.
And sadly, rather than make those necessary personal sacrifices to raise children into caring, responsible citizens, people who find it easier to “conveniently” kill their kids before they even have a CHANCE to live, prefer to simply sacrifice them instead.
Happy Valentine’s Day to you, as well. <3
