I wonder though, how long into the child's life does your unreasonable cliché apply? 10 years down the road if the child's mother is pulling in welfare cheques would you also say "if you can't afford to look after the kids, you shouldn't have had them in the first place"?

Some people would say that. I don't know if you are one, but that's a confusing thing about a lot of hardass conservative types. They tend to be 1)anti-abortion 2)anti-welfare 3)pro-death penalty.
I don't fashion myself as any type of person or follow any groupthink patterns. I'm simply myself and speak from my own feelings, none of which come from what any perticular group feels I should feel lol. 1) Yes I am anti-abortion 2) I am not anti-welfare but do believe that the government could look closer into the situations of the people they are giving it to. 3) I don't believe in the death penalty what-so-ever. Saying that though, In a very personal circumstance, I'm not sure I'd have enough rational power to stop myself from ending the life of someone who took the life of a loved one purposely, not by accident. But I can't say for sure.

And about your 10 years down the road remark, well no one said that adoption was out of the equation now did they? Have the baby and put it up for adoption. It sounds like a much better idea than having an abortion or living on welfare.
