Yes, it does affect non-whites way more often, but that has nothing to do with "use a condom" or whatever. They do want 3-4 kids. And it's not like you are living a great live on welfare. Please. Nobody wants to be on food stamps etc.

Abortion is legal and a pregnant woman is allowed to have an abortion if she pleases. Abortions are grotesque, but, a baby having a baby is even more sickening to me. I will go with the lesser of two evils.

It is when you're ok with eating ramen noodles everyday. Most poor people are more pessimistic and will accept the free handout because they can't envision an alternative.

I am pro-choice.
Abortion isn't as accessible as people think it is.

I suggest reading: Powell's Books - Dispatches from the Abortion Wars: The Costs of Fanaticism to Doctors, Patients, and the Rest of Us by Carole Joffe

How do you know abortions are grotesque?

In any case, I don't want children either. I won't even discuss my views on pregnancy, childbirth, parenting, etc because some people on this board get all up in arms any time someone isn't all pronatal.

Which is dependant on the very same people that are complaining now to donate for these causes.....soooo why not provide incenitives for welfare folks to get off of welfare? Come to think of it, if someone with a degree can't get a jopb how in the hell is someone with or without a high school diploma expected to get one?

I previously stated that there should be a five year limit for welfare instead of open-ended.

We do. You in the city? Let me tell you. Since leaving NYC and moving here. Two years next month. I have not seen one, not one, pregnant black girl, or woman for that matter. I have seen a dozen or more white teens and uncountable hispanics. Give the black thing a rest.

There is a time limit. Seriously, where have you been? You just want to rag on minorities don't you. I am sorry for you that this is how you get your self-esteem fix.

One more thing, getting food stamps work on both ends, it subsidizes the farmers and it helps those in need also. Cash benefits would be the benefit that many of you should be screaming about and those (at least in Pa) are hard to get and only people who honestly cannot work, need medical care or have x number of children can get it.
