Which means that you either have an abortion on your (and the father's) dime, or you have the kid and keep it or give it up for adoption.
I doubt that my policy view would change based on demographic issues.

Oh #### off, abstinence is one of the absolute dumbest and least effective messages for birth control ever. Your ideology merely serves to punish the poor who can't afford abortions, proper pre/perinatal nutrition, child care, educational opportunities or options in life. You then have the gall to say that the reason they are not ahead in your idiotic libertarian fantasy is because they didn't have the good sense not to use a coat hanger/underground abortions (which they would do), or make the child a ward of the state (which costs many times that of an abortion, making no economic sense).
Ideologues such as yourself either lack real world experience or have a complete inability to grasp the basic lack of logic associated with their awful plans. The sad thing is that your views are those which are now being listened to by President.
