Isn't a 'child' just a definition our society has placed on individual under the age of 12/14/16/17/18/21/pick a convenient age.All i am trying to get a cross is that we are paying for children that should not be born, morally or legally, a child should not be giving birth to a child.

If a 'child' is able to bear a child to term, isn't that perhaps an indication that our social rules are out of sync with what our bodies are saying?

I can only go by what you write - My intarweb mindreader is switched off for the moment.UKDTweak said:Borris, i have not tried to missrepresent your post, you did that with mine, when i said mentally and finincialy, it was in the terms of a child, who is seen as not mentally equiped to raise a child and is not financial able to care for one either, so read properly before you try to turn my posts around, you miss read and took the wrong idea, that may in part be due to bad wording in my post, but never the less, i in no way ment mentally ill people or those on low income, a child is below both, does not have the mental capacity to understand or properly decide their actions and is not financialy able to care for a child, thus should not be allowed to have a child, is that clear enough for you !
That's fairly concrete if you ask me.UKDTweak said:Anybody that is not in a position to care for themselves mentaly or financialy, should not be allowed to have children, just because they can, does not give them the right too, especially if others have to pay for it.
What makes you the arbiter of all that is moral and legal?UKDTweak said:All i am trying to get a cross is that we are paying for children that should not be born, morally or legally, a child should not be giving birth to a child. As i said in an earlier post, abortion is only one option, the other is that the pregnant childs parent should be held responsible as its is partly their fault for not monitoring their child properly or not caring enough to keep their child from doing things they should not be doing. The problem is, most these parents come from the same up brining and thus the cycle insuse.
UKDTweak said:Means your paying for longer for these underage births LOL
What makes you think that I am anything other than calm?UKDTweak said:Borris, calm down, if you are not sure about something, ask....
Not until post 66 in this thread, if F3 is anything to go by.UKDTweak said:And try looking up the word Opinion, which i have used several times in posts before... Hmmm![]()

How many young and/or underage mothers are having to bring up a kid on their own because the git of a boyfriend decided to leave them do it and leg it?
Should draw a court order forcing the father to take 50% responsability for his kid. Too many young mothers lumbered with babies and no help.
IMO, OMFG, YMMV, ETC.

Do the math - baby cannibalism for the win!
