Why would it require more taxes rather than better use of existing taxes that already dwarf the entirety of what;s used at present for the same purpose? I agree that it;s not workable unless we improve the system...but I can't imagine why our refusal or failure to improve the system justifies a unidirectional lack of parity for the consequences of a unilateral decision. In that case..it's not the father who failed..but society.

Okay, put that on a posterboard and go picket an abortion clinic? The point is that both parties -don;t- forfeit such a "right" - only one party does..apparently, the party of penis, because penis, and bad men™, and "my daddy left me".
The failure to see past our manufactured puritan biases and personal tragedies..on proud display in this thread, is breathtaking.
