You're calling me simple and then saying "It can all be cured with adoption?" Jesus man, you're in a fucking glass castle.

How does adoption solve the problem of the effect of the unwanted pregnancy on the woman? Does she get a vote? Or is it her fault? I notice the people harrumphing about moral responsibilty almost exclusively have penises. Strange coincidence...

Your taxes don't begin to pay for all the costs people who are forced to have children will be forced to bear. What are we going to do with all those kids who don't get adopted?

You're right - college isn't a birthright, but in the country we presently occupy, its the only way to ensure the kid won't wind up on the govt dole later. Are you advocating more unskilled people be brought into our society? Perhaps to add a few thousand headcount to the voter roles in the red states? Maybe we can convince these uneducated people that the inheritance tax will effect them or that Syria is planning to bomb them.
