Let's just say that neither is one I'm willing to bear any portion of, when I'm not the father. It accrues to other societal costs as well. For example, I know a recent divorcee that just had a child. These two idiots (and that's all I can think of at this moment) have this child, then divorce. Well, now they have to sell a home, but both these morons are looking to get financially well by moving their home at an absurd price. A home that's market value was assessed by the county in 2006 as $ 140K, was bought in late 2003 @ $ 170K, and over the course of the last 3 years, there were new cars and the baby that I'm aware of, if not more. The selling listing is for $ 400K OBO, she confided she would take $ 350K for it. I'm interested in buying a house, but not at the expense of paying for new cars and the delivery of a baby being passed on for a piece of property that was built in the mid 1950's. But you can see there are all kinds trying to pass on the costs of their mistakes on to each and everyone of us. I can't imagine this being an isolated occurence in America. And don't get me started on the fraud and abuse of the Medicare/Medicaid System, not to mention other tpes of insurance fraud.
Excuse me for being dense, but what does any of this have to do with abortion? Those are two stupid fucktards, no doubt. Perhaps both their mothers should have had abortions, but I fail to see how this illustration comments on abortion at all.
Tax assessments are almost always several thousands of dollars short of what a property could sell for, and that's a good thing- we pay less tax that way. Nobody who's a serious property investor would pay above market value, and that can easily be checked by public records of what the homes of similar size and age have sold for in the last year in that neighborhood. If they're asking more than their home is worth, they're just stupid.
Oh, I understand about not wanting to pay for other people's mistakes, but look at what you're saying with "I can't fathom what ever possessed a good many of those women to get knocked up for whatever reasons at their age if it involved free will." Gee, I CAN fathom why these women "got themselves" knocked up- some GUY fucked her! I resent the FUCK out of your implication that the women are the problem- not the guys who ditch them when they get pregnant.
You don't want to have to pay for abortions, you don't want to have to pay for other people's unwanted children- do you see a problem? I do! You are unwilling to accept as a given a fact that has existed from the beginning of time- people WILL have sex for pleasure despite how ANYONE feels about it. I'm just fucking sick and tired of women being left "holding the bag" by men who seem to think they are blameless. Not one of us has ever conceived by immaculate conception.
To be quite honest about it, this really is beginning to set me off when I see yet another incidence of it exposed. I used to think murder would be the only crime limited to capital punishment, but this has changed my outlook on what could or should qualify drawing the death penalty. It's unfortunate Ken Lay died before all of his worldly possessions and wealth could be taken from him & family, then redistributed to victims of the Enron collapse.
I believe in an eye for an eye more than I should, but I'd like to see theives like that stripped of their money- it's the only thing they care about. I'd like to see bush and friends have to donate ALL their money to pay for the harm they've caused, then have to WORK for a living at minimum wage. Without subsidies from their daddies, these pussies would fall apart at the seams with the stresses of life most of us endure daily.
Oh, Led Zeppelin are gods- Jimmy Page is a blues guitar innovator.
