81. This makes absolutely no sense because
people do have babies out of love for each other.
Love is one of those words that seems absent in this discussion, if one can call it that.

That fodder/serf baby brings joy and happiness and hope to the family it is born into, and the world,possibly.

Since when did we remove the most important reason and reduce it to a monetary decision?
Should it be a monetary decision? No.
No one has a child simply because they can or can't afford them.

And no, Planned Parenthood is not a panacea for the poor. It, in fact, was started to stem the birth rate in poor communities and its founder was a staunch supporter of eugenics. It was a method to reduce the "Lesser races"But somehow I bet you know the history.

If one chooses abortion or not, the decision in large measure should hinge on what the woman decides not her net worth.

The only valid thing I can come up with from this "discussion" is which are the ones worthy of being born?
Worthy=monetary significance, social status? That is anathema to any thinking human being.

Abortion is only a topic anyway because quite frankly men can legislate it and it is an example
of further subjugation of women as a whole in this country.;)
