Having children is a choice - a choice that should not be taken on a whim.

Much like having a car is a choice - if you don't have the ability to pay for insurance, pay for gas, pay for maintenance - should the rest of the nation be penalized for your poor choices?

Much like not smoking, and not eating an abundance of sugar is a choice - Should the rest of the nation be penalized when you develop lung cancer and diabetes?

But, our country is a benevolent one - and we do give handouts even to those who make those poor choices.

What I am wondering - when will the government give me a handout for making better choices - not having been to the doctor for 17 years.

Id settle for some free movie tickets or a weekend trip to the coast!
