Aren't abortions cheaper than paying welfare cost to raise child into adulthood and beyond? If the answer is yes than the choice should be clear to all but most dense people.
While we are moot legislating here, you bring up another problem - there ought not be any govt welfare. Welfare is a charity and should be left to private charities.
It's amazing how F'ed up things get when you allow the govt to operate outside it's legitimate bounds. Let them get involved in welfare and suddenly infanticide becomes OK. Let them get involved in healthcare and before you know it, we have abortions like ZeroCare or single payer, both with death panels.
