They can't force low-income women to keep children that they can't afford to raise. Who is going to care for them? Are they going to open up orphanages again? Where is the money going to come from to support all of these unwanted children? Or even if the women do keep these babies that they can't afford, they will still need government assistance. Have they thought of that?

Have they thought of the social fallout of this at all? They are so short-sighted and stupid! It is enraging!
