- Is it then logical to say that when a teenage mother age 17 decides
- to raise the child that it is not societies responsibility to provide
- her day-care, food stamps and housing? I think the communities response
- would sound something like; "what was so hard about keeping your legs
- crossed?", or does it only apply to 'certain' politically correct
- responsibilities when personal responsibility is involved.
-
-
- Everybody wants to help
- the poor child and mother AFTER her legs have spread. Our current
- trend is to hand out condoms, provide sex education and create after
- she spread her legs/he poked her programmes that perpetuate personal
- irresponsibility. "Now that I have screwed up, what is the community
- going to do for me NOW."
