I think people who get pregnant while receiving welfare or other kinds of government assistance should be given a choice:

1) Give the baby up for adoption
2) Have an abortion
3) Keep the baby, but give up rights to ever receive welfare again

Thoughts?

How about worry about the largest welfare, Big Business/Corp., before worrying about the pennies below it.

Thoughts? I think the rich and powerful have successfully distracted you from what really matters.

Who is going to take care of all these "babies up for adoption?"

There are hundreds of thousands of people looking to adopt infants who do it in other countries because of the outrageous adoption costs in the US.

There are long waiting lists to adopt healthy infants.

Why can't we do both? Can't multitask or something?

This. I'm all for ending corporate welfare, along with finding better ways to manage social welfare.

I don't have a problem giving welfare to people who are truly trying to make their lives better. If you make the decision to have a baby while taking welfare, you obviously don't fall into that category, and it's in the best interest of all parties to take the child.

I like where this is going!

So anyone who receives tax credits for anything and who gets pregnant should give up tax credits forever.

Furthermore, if you drive on a road your taxes didn't pay for AND you get pregnant you should be banned from ever driving on that road again.

I also think the man responsible for the pregnancy should be chemically castrated.

Ahh heck, lets just castrate all poor men and solve the problem at its root, pardon the pun.

I'd take it a step further. Sterilize anyone on welfare who has a child while still receiving benefits. If they can't figure out how not to get pregnant, the state can figure it out for them.

Uses the same mentality for welfare at least.

If you are so worried about corporate welfare perhaps you should start a thread where you can present your thoughts on the matter?

But then he couldn't fart and admire his own stench whilst waiting for other people to leave repulsed. :colbert:

Oh, excuse me for not realizing you are trying to be serious with this thread. It's an easy mistake to make, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt when their post is filled with ignorance.

Here is your serious answer as to why you are retarded:

1) Good idea, lets give the Feds more power to take children away from their parents.
2) Good idea, lets give the Feds power to force people to get abortions. Nevermind the fact that more than half the nation thinks abortion is murder.
3) Welfare's primary goal is making sure the child doesn't suffer for the behavior of the parent. Nutrition is extremely important to early childhood development. Cutting welfare will result in even more developmentally challenged kids.

Please take some time to reflect on why you are so easily manipulated into believing that policies that are bad for you are actually good for you.

I'm sticking with my chemical castration idea.

I think your neighbor should pay for all your wants / wishes / solar panels / EBT's / Food Stamps / tattoos / nose bolts / dope / booze / rent / obama phone / vehicle and if your neighbor complains call them racists.

Well at the very least, they should be provided access to free abortions. That being said, I'm not down with the government forcing people to have abortions.

A long wait and high cost is built in for any American adoption regardless of the number of children up for adoption.

Free State funded contraception and abortion?
Don't ask how to put out the fire, prevent the fire.

No. Tax-payer funded abortion is immoral unless it is forced on poor people. They aren't allowed to choose it, we are allowed to require it. Same for contraception.
