Nobody has any claim to anyone else's body what-so-ever, not even a fetus (parasite) inside of it. Government has no authority to tell anyone whether or not they must or must not have children. But if you can't afford and you have them, neither you, nor your children is entitled to reach into the pockets of others through force (government = force) to pay for their education, healthcare, food, shelter, or clothing.
No amount of your percieved needs or desires entitles you to steal from another person no matter how little you have or how much they have.
All people should be encouraged to help those in need, but nobody should be forced to. Charity begins and ends in the heart, not at the end of a loaded gun.
If you're starving, sick, old, cripple, uneducated, and cold from living outside, you are still not entitled to steal from others. You are free to ask for help and others are free to give it to you, but you needs don't entitle you to anything.
Man it's strange reading these boards these days. I only get a few posts with actual content. The rest are blocked because I've put the truly ignorant people on my ignore list. Sometimes entire threads are filled with nothing but the message I get when someone is on the iggy list.
It's better that way though. The average intelligence of conversations has increased 10 fold thanks to the omission of posts by those who truly have nothing of value to offer any conversation. (Jaguar, Marichko, Sycamore, Lady Sidhe, etc.)
