Whats the difference between abortion and abolishing welfare?

You know what? I don't want to hear "if that lazy mother gets off her a** and goes to work..." That is the correct answer to this problem, but thats not the solution. This should be obvious! REALITY!

The reality behind it is there are many mothers who are going to stay home and absorb everything they can off the government. So, if we abolish welfare, maybe we'll get to see a bunch more kids ditched in a dumpster somewhere... You choose.

Screw child welfare. If you think they're going to save the children go to Louisiana.

We can always stick a gun to the lazy mothers head and make them go to work. What about that?

Update:

xbrex... Not if it's government funded.

Update 2:

Hmmm... It seems that there are many people here not intelligent enough to realize that i am complaining about abolishing welfare for the sake of the children.

Update 3:

Papi.. REALITY! America gives welfare out to lazy mothers. America will continue to do this.

I guess it is obvious at this point that the question is well over your head. Want me to explain it in highschool dropout terms?

Mothers have kids. There are lazy mothers. Should we just say screw those kids and stop giving the mother support? Yes, they might be popping out babies just to get more cash, but what can we do about it that will keep benefit to the child who cannot support itself?

Understand? Got it? I hope.

Update 4:

So what I am gathering from some of the answers is we should just say screw the children of the mothers who are lazy and don't want to work. Am i correct?

    Duhhhh if you stick a gun to the lazy mother in questions head, you're going to jail.

    Creating welfare was a mistake that we're all going to have to pay for for our whole lives. It isn't going to be abolished. Imagine all the riots and **** in the ghettos of America.

    Yeah I don't think so.

    Oh, abortion isn't the hearless killing of an innocent child. It's a well thought out decision over the aborting of a FETUS or mass of cells that is not yet a functioning child. Morons.

    Sure, you COULD put a gun to anyone's head & force them to work, but that doesn't mean they could or would do a good job. We tried this approach in California & it got us in the mess we are currently in.....Identity theft victims everywhere, & where did it start? At the local welfare offices, where people were required to work in order to get their monthly checks & they saw an opportunity to make some money on the side by taking the files home with them & selling the info! We didn't do background checks before we allowed people to have access to documents that previously were handled only by licensed state employees. Instead of being so anti-mother, why not teach women to be great mothers & give them the support they need along with some nutritional training & mentoring to make sure they know how to balance a budget without having to find a man to lean on & exposing their children to even more grief & abuse. There is no greater role than that of a parent. The people who choose to have children should be supported for the sake of our future societies welfare. If a woman chooses not to have a child, she should have a safe & legal option of choosing abortion over birth. She can always have another child when she feels ready to follow through with it. Many women are just not cut out to be in the workplace & our country should address alternative work roles & relationships. Vocational training is better for some & College for others. You can't force a woman to be a mother OR a worker, anymore than you can force a man to be a father or a provider for his children & his wife. Perhaps we should concentrate on men & women in the area of education & responsibility. In the meantime, a fragile child is trapped in the middle & your solution is what? Throw them away? Let's throw the adults away & start treating the children with respect & unconditional love, which will lead to responsibility & a better tomorrow for all of us.

    Are you serious? C'mon, really...are you really that idiotic?

    The only people I hear saying rubbish like that have think that there is a job out there for everyone yet say that if we gave every person a job, inflation would be through the roof so there must always be unemployment to keep costs down.

    So, which is it? You can't have it both ways. It's one or the other.

    Welfare is essential in the capitalist markets because without it, the economy would collapse like building demolished with explosives.

    If you want to rid of welfare, do it honestly and take it off all people, not just the poor. Take it off the rich as well and watch the babies scream.

    Your assumption is false though. Women like you have described have so many children because they can collect more welfare with each additional child. Women still "dump babies" as you have so politely put it, so tightening the welfare state would not change things. We just do not need to reward the poor for bringing more and more kids into the world. We need to help the children, but not help mothers who had those children for the sole purpose of $$$

    you're an abortion probably on welfare.

    but I'll answer your question anyway..

    Take the Ayn Rand approach and you will have your answer..( I relaize this may be over your head but go read the Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged)

    Provide welfare yes, provided it goes to ways to help improve the parents life via education, job education, or business trade development.. Give them something to empower, not reward for having kids and staying at home and having yet more kids.

    MORONOMAME: yes that is reality, ( no kidding sherlock) my response addresses the way to abolish welfare as we know it..

    so you wanna see kids thrown in dumpster? your sick? do you have kids? i do !2 kids not on welfare! i would take in 10 more if i could afford it but i cant! maybe the solution is teaching our children how to use condoms! but welfare is around for a reason! this is suppose to be a free nation a nation of possibilities! i pay hundreds of dollars weekly in taxes and then yearly taxes so if i want to have 2 more kids and sit on my *** and collect some of the taxes i paid back i will !! children are our future remember that!

    the version? Democrats were traditionally "tax and spend," even as Republicans were, in view that Reagan, "spend and spend." extra to the point, the Dems variety from the Repubs contained in the function and volume of the federal authorities. Repubs have a tendency to pick a small, susceptible, federal gov., and strong states. The Dems have a tendency to bypass any opposite direction.

    Abortion is cruel, heartless killing of an innocent child. Abolishing welfare will get more people to work and weed out those who are too lazy. In a few years, everyone will have forgotten that welfare even existed and realize that they have to work!
