I voted no because of the stipulation of "current living circumstances". If I didn't already have my two or I could take care of more kids in a way I feel they deserve to be taken care of, I'd would definately adopt. We stopped at two because based on our income, that was what we could afford and be able to provide them with everything they needed and provide a great and happy life for them. We don't live beyond our means and we get to take advantage of some of the "perks" that brings because of it.
That's why I put it there. This_person doesn't think the government has any right to help take care of un-aborted babies. But, a woman should be forced to have a baby even if she can't support it.
There are many people who would like to adopt but can't. There are plenty of people who would like to have the baby they're carrying but can't do so because of financial reasons.
And This_person says it's about responsibility.
My mom had 2 or 3 jobs at any given time and was barely able to support me and my sister. In fact, we both got summertime jobs to help out when we were old enough.
Government didn't help, and that's how This_person likes it. Fortunately, I spent the summers away in a very religious home with my aunt and uncle. Had they not been there, I don't know how I would've turned out. But it probably wouldn't have been good.
Socially, underage sex is almost a requirement. Those who do the responsible thing and wait until they're ready to carry any unexpected burdens that may arise get constant ridicule and are constantly cut down. It's socially unacceptable to today's society.
Our media glorifies the rap and NFL culture, idolizing thugs and gangsters who make millions of dollars just to record a CD or step out on a football field and do something, realistically, that just about anyone can do.
Kids that are raised in these homes are exposed to only the negative society that exists. And there are far many more kids that are living in broken homes than you might think. And that's what liberals mean when they talk about economics playing a role in society. It's not always the kids' fault, it's society's fault.
But I don't expect This_person to get this since he "pays more in taxes" in three months than I make in a year.
