That is, if you are young.

Otherwise, as liberals we believe in the "we're all in this together" form of government policy, not the "what's in it for me and screw you" kind of policy favored by libertarians and republicans.

So I'm tired of having this discussion. Men get women pregnant. Pregnancy is a normal medical condition. Children benefit our society (they will change your Depends when you grow old in the nursing home). Stop already.
