1. We can't trust those silly billies to know what's in their own best interests!

Don't be absurd. It's up to old white men to tell women what's good for them. And while we can't be trusting those wanton sex-having women to make their own health choices, we are more than willing to saddle them with an unwanted child because maternal instinct, God's plan and so forth. What could go wrong? Oh, and they need to learn the dignity of work, but don't neglect the child. And if there are any problems, well, you're on your own, Toots, and you should have thought of every possible eventuality before you got yourself pregnant. Any special needs (like food, clothing, shelter, health care, or other luxury items) your child might have are your sole responsibility, and don't go looking for any help from the government; all our funds are tied up in buying more and better weaponry. For defense. So you can enjoy your freedom. Now get moving, you're late for work.
