Yes, there are many people just "begging" to adopt. Plus gay couples (kill two birds with one stone) who want to adopt. I am also against fertility clinics that produce septuplets when there are so many kids to be adopted. The solution seems so obvious to me. Combine all of the above.
Maybe, introduce a child tax instead of credit. Only have kids if you can AFFORD to so they don't become a burden to the state. Then, maybe people will think about the consequences of their actions BEFORE they act.
If you don't want to have kids, great, no problem. Either practice safe sex, or don't have sex, or get "fixed". Problem solved, everyone happy.
Abortion is NOT effective contraception. Condoms etc are. Also, try personal responsibility and accountability. Sex education would be good too.
I am against abortion period. Even in cases of incest, rape. The lone exception would be to save a mother's life.
I am also against the death penalty (too light of a punishment and other obvious flaws) and against pro-lifers who burn down clinics and kill people (that's just weird to me).
I also think it's a bit weird if the Church is against abortion but condemns condoms. That's not really consistent policy to me.
So at least I am consistent in my beliefs and I won't bash anyone who has a different opinion than mine. God bless America.
Good thread, good topic.
