Fundamentalists would say, just don't have sex. Which is easier said than done.

Abstinence only works for overweight/underweight socially awkward dorks, the extremely unattractive, or the clinically depressed.

There is no sense of duty for some anymore, that is the problem. But better adoption than abortion for the baby.

And if he had......nothing would have changed.....at least this way.....we are on the right road.

How about SAFE sex. Get married and stay faithful. Guess that is too hard for people today. Sad.

Even if there was no welfare program the gov would still not be able to pay the bills. SS and medicare are completely underfunded.

The problem with prolifers is they think others believe that a fetus is a child and abortion is horrible but do it anyway becaues they are selfish. They can't fathom that people DON'T think it's a child at 9 weeks gestation. They think prochoicers are happily killing babies when they actually have all sorts of differing ideas about personhood but are united only by the fact that THEY can't life anyones life for them. They don't try. Prolifers seem to think they can or should live other peoples lives. It's never going to happen people.

Yes because an orphanage is such a great experience.

What if you are a young adult and not in love, you should get married? Horrible advice.

As I stated before, unless you are a socially retarded, extremely unattractive, or depressed, you are getting laid if you are young.

Insurance rates were being raised by staggering amounts long before Obamacare.
