And of course people aren’t perfect. We all do things we know we shouldn’t. (drugs, sex without a condom, cheating on someone, talking back to our parents, cheating on our taxes, stealing, lying etc.) However, should the child pay for a mother’s or father’s wrongdoings? No, it’s not their fault in this situation.
And furthermore, for most people not having children rich or poor. Having children gives us lots of joy and happiness. Most people couldn’t live without their child in their life. And you can’t expect mothers who can’t afford a child to abort/kill him/her just because she can’t afford him/her. If she chooses to do that herself, that’s her choice, but should she be forced to do it? Of course not. Are we going to wait until we strike it rich to have them? Of course not. So, 
why should someone else? beccasmom
Millions of people are living in poverty and on the streets without jobs who can’t finds jobs today. I say we help the legal citizens only. We need to send illegals back where they came from.
352, – anon140079: Wow. I hope that you never need to experience what it’s like to not have something to eat or something that you need. Your statement makes you sound really selfish and self-centered. Your statement makes me very angry that someone out there is someone out there who is really, really that selfish.
I’ve known people who just don’t care, but those very same people who say that they don’t care would give their t-shirt off of their backs to help someone out. I understand it’s your opinion but what you said, to me, is very wrong.
I understand that you don’t like any government assistance but there are also food banks that help people in need out, too. Do you hate them, too?
I hope that one day you can see for yourself what I’m telling you is true. Life’s not just about getting; it’s about giving. I could not live with myself if I knew someone in need and could help them but didn’t. anon1400
What makes people think that just because they live in the United states, they “deserve” stuff?
No you have no “right” to food, life, or anything else. If you can’t feed yourself, then that’s your own problem, you know?
You don’t deserve anything but freedom to make or break yourself. If that means you starve to death, so be it. It’s all of to you.
: Some people are just down and out on their luck. They go to college and get nothing but minimum wage jobs.
They, not being perfect like everyone else have children or a child. You can’t expect women who become pregnant to abort a child just because they can’t afford him/her. Why would you do that when there are so many options out there for you?
Now, if someone if down on their luck but still pays their taxes after working as many hours as they can, then why shouldn’t they get help?
So, you’re saying that because you make 60,000 a year that everyone else will get the same after college? Unfortunately, that’s not the way it works. Not everyone makes that kind of money.
And maybe they had children and once were making that 60,000 dollars that you were talking about but lost their job (due to the economy) and can’t find one?
If that means you become a millionaire, so be it
Should those people starve and live on the streets because they aren’t supposed to ask for help? No, of course not. And you shouldn’t either. No one who is a US citizen who pays taxes should ever go hungry or live on the streets. That’s what some of the taxes go to. Have a heart.
