the streets. Would these well-educated young ladies be more careful not to get pregnant? Perhaps they'd be more careful to get birth control, at the very least... but isn't free birth control a form of welfare? Who pays for that? And oh, one more thing. The school notified me that if my daughter needed an abortion she could get that through them without notifying me. So, that's another option, presumably somehow paid for by the government. It is hard to get away from government funded welfare programs these days. Would young fathers-to-be be more likely to stay with the women they impregnated? ...would they take responsibility and be fatherly at a young age? Here's a very heart-warming notion. Would young fathers be more likely to stay with their girlfriends who were pregnant because they would no longer be able to think, "she can get welfare," or "she can get an abortion paid for by medicare," or "they can get food stamps?" Would they realize they created a life (I don't want to say 'made a mistake') and try to do something manly like get a job and support mother and child? Or would they freak out and become hobos while their children starved? What do you think would happen most often? A guide for teenage parents ...stay together if you can! Would young single mothers be supported by their families instead? ...if they couldn't get welfare, would their families help out? Isn't that how it used to work, before welfare?
