Yes, if they are cared for, which is why I have never had a problem with my taxes helping to feed families. None of this will really change for my state. I am wondering how states will handle it when it IS a big change for them.

3. Will state-funded dna testing be automatically enacted to confirm paternity? How will paternity tests be bodily forced upon accused fathers?

4. Will stiffer penalties, including prison, be enforced against fathers who refuse to pay child support? Will the mothers be represented pro bono if they can't afford attorneys to ensure this happens?

5. Will rape charges be brought by the state if the girl is underage and the man isn't?

personal responsibility!!!

There is a huge demand to adopt infants. Regardless, at conception a new life is created and abortion murders that life.

Hey the original post does ask some good questions, especially #1, who will pay for the upbringing of the child?


I could give some RINO response, family should, church should, non profit organizations should, etc


But honestly that is not the most important part of all this, babies may be saved from murder. Real conservatives are concerned with morality more than GDP, taxes etc. Right is right. Doing the right thing is number 1. Yes we may have to start asking real questions like the original posters made. But again right is right.

Societies are good at adapting, when they acknowledge that killing babies, is wrong.

A lot of what you espouse comes close to the 'Malthusian theory', which in it's simplified form = More people more problems.

When in actuality and according to history, More people = More innovation to keep up with the growing population.

Why should the mothers figure it out. Since abortion is illegal it's up to those forcing them to give birth to figure out how to pay for them. There are so many problems with making abortion illegal. Do you know how much prenatal care costs. If people don't have insurance then who's going to pay for their doctor visits each month and their delivery costs. Many high risk pregnancies require a specialty doctor as well which costs even more. I guess the tax payers in the state will be footing their bills.

Nothing will change.. Families will continue to struggle. Young single mothers will slip down the socio-economic ladder. It will just happen to a larger degree.

States that maintained the strictest policies against abortion are also generally the states that rank the lowest in child health and development services. So it's not like they are going to change sentiment bow that abortion rights have been chopped

We have half a million kids in the foster care system already. There may not be the demand you think, unless they are white, healthy babies.

The question isn't whether abortion is moral or not the question assumes there are no abortions allowed in certain states, so the children are born, not aborted. I'm not suggesting anyone break the law.

Have you looked at a map of the states that are shutting down abortion? They're the same states that don't believe in what they call "socialism", and taxes to support "freeloaders", i.e. abandoned babies.
