A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said:

'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.

So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?'

She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.'

The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.'

She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.

Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.

The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!

'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be OK with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution. The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.

He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!

Learn from Yesterday, live for Today, hope for Tomorrow..

I better go check snopes...

So now our tax dollars get to raise this unwed welfare Mom's kid for her? What makes you think all of us WANT to pay for this kid?

Is this lady black or white? Does she live in the ghetto or in the burbs? If she's white and in the burbs, then this is a sweet story about how precious life is. If she's a black welfare mom, I'm pissed.

It's just a hypo story to ponder whilst eating corn on the cobb and such things..

In most urban areas, despite easy access to abortion on demand, most women "in need" choose to have children and collect social services once the baby is born.

So, this sorta poke a hole in your assumption that easy access to abortion may cut down on "unwanted pregnancies" as subsidizing pregnancy eradicates their "unwanted" status.

So I can pretend I give a ****? Is that it? Another feel good, "hey I'm middle class and white, and therefore I give a ****" type of story?

**** that. Wanna feel good? Go babysit those 2 black kids in Harlem so she can get a job or three.

There's a lot of places my tax dollars go that make me mad.

Helping children is NOT one of them. Helping lazy parents is.

Jpotts, do you have any stats to back up that most women in urban areas decide to have welfare babies in lieu of abortion? I disagree with that statement, but am open to being educated. Thanks.

Take a look at the out of wedlock births. 'Nuff said.

That is, however, if you actually believe that an unwed teenage mother with a kid can actually make a decent living to support herself and her kids.

It is a fact. That's the lifestyle. Don't ignore the obvious.

I still disagree. This reasoning only works if the women having babies are at or below the income levels that qualify for state/fed aid for where she lives. This would assume that all unwed mothers are therefore poor.

There's an awful lot of rich, white girls out there getting abortions with Daddy's coin.

Who is worse? Single black welfare mom, or rich white upper middle class girl from the burbs killing her kid?

Cap'n insightful is back!

HIDE THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN!

What's your thoughts on my above question fish?

My thoughts are: typical schtick. Turn every conversation into a racial topic.

I'll play your silly game... why does the black girl have to be poor and the white girl rich? Why not the other way around? Never seen a white kid in the ghetto? Never seen a black kid uptown?

Get with the times.

When you think of the ghetto and welfare moms do you actually think of pretty white girls? When you thought of the girl in the story above did you imagine a black ghetto girl, or a white woman visiting a white doctor in middle class America?

First, some 60% of teenage mothers are living at the poverty level when they first give birth.

Women over 20 make up only 35% of the out-of-wedlock births, Putting the number of out-of-wedlock births for those younger than 20 at 65%. Something like 30% of out-of-wedlock births occur in girls who are 15-70 years of age.

Moreover, according to the federal government, something like 53% of services like Medicaid, AFDC, and food stamps go to households begun by teen mothers.

According to Congressional testimony, at least half of unwed teen mothers go on welfare within a year of giving birth, and most never leave.

Face it, your assumptions are completely wrong.

I grew up poor. There were white, black and hispanic people in my housing project.

More white than any other, but Providence was the opposite. Black families were more numerous, but once again, you had whites and hispanics.

If YOU visualize black people when you think of the projects, perhaps YOU'RE the one with the 'white guilt' problem.

Silver spoon tainting your taste, whitey?

You just wait till version D arrives.

Maybe that incarnation will produce a thought worthy of your responses. Until then its the usual crap.

^Don't you have some dirty laundry to be hanging up on your "look at me I'm mentally unstable" thread?

Nice try Jimmy.

It wasn't a try, it was a question. Back off of me, eh?
