Could all pro life folks please answer this question?

With your tax money, would you rather fund $500 abortions or the $200,000 it will take to care for the child until he's 18?

    -Where did the number come from?

    -Does it include per-pupil public education cost of k-12? (ave.$10,000 x 13 =$130,000)

    -Not necessarily, delivered children require financial support.

    -Even if that # does not include k-12 cost, 200,000 / 18 yrs / 12month = $925 /m

    -Every child has potential to be successful. Some of them may have high-paying career and pay all back to the government as their tax, and bring more and more in with ease. How successful a child becomes is heavily depend on how well they were inspired and disciplined. I believe America still has good-willed adults, great father and mother figures, and great mentors to do that job.

    So,, I choose $200,000.

    Maybe if we didn't abort so many children some not all would be productive members of society. They would work and pay taxes and maybe this nation wouldn't be so far in debt or at least generate more revenue to support domestic concerns.

    Why can't responsible parents raise their own child. According to obama the unemployment rate is 5% so everyone should be working. Where is it written that people should not support their kids.
