Heh, I don't know how to interpret that response.  He means that you posted the same thing he was going to post while he was in the middle of typing  Sadly, I don't have a response to that statement. |

Should we then be encouraging and/or subsidizing abortions for drug addicts and alcoholics? Maybe enforced or rewarded birth control measures? Yes to subsidy, no to enforcement. |

Well, maybe conditionally enforced? Like if they want help with other things part of the conditions of that service could be that they take certain steps, such as birth control, to prevent needing that subsidized abortion?

Should we then be encouraging and/or subsidizing abortions for drug addicts and alcoholics? Maybe enforced or rewarded birth control measures? The druggies and alcoholics are not so simple. You get a surprising number of people who are happy they are pregnant and want the child, but refuse to give up their self destructive addictions. Then when the child is born and they see what they did to the child, they then give it up for adoption because they don't want a brain dead child. Short version really is that they don't think about the consequences of their actions, at all. If anything the best is that when the addicts go to the clinic and find out they are pregnant, the staff can give them some advice. (of course this would be entirely dependent on the addict being completely honest about their addictions, which sadly most are not) The advice could be for them to either get an abortion if they cannot kick their habit, or to get into rehab. Although, by the time they find out they are pregnant it is probably already too late in some cases. |
