Good point, Milton. Interesting how that second part never gets mentioned beyond giving out some free diapers and formula. What about the next 18 years?

You are absolutely correct. I have observed this. I know rabid anti-abortionists who wouldn't give a red cent to a needy child crying because they are hungry. I'll stand my ground. I know many (yes, many!) examples of children that never should have been born, and I am happy to share examples by Soup Mail if anyone wants one.

We cannot have one without the other.

That's certainly how I feel.
