Explain to me how birth control - covered in a myriad of forms by ever health insurance in the nation, and especially by Medicaid, on top of condoms being cheaper than chewing gum - is not already "affordable".

Giving birth is a "non-issue" financially, as those who are most likely to abort are on Medicaid, and the taxpayer covers the costs of birth. Birth is also damned well covered by health insurance.

As to adoption - yes, the process sucks. It's a hell of a lot easier to buy a house or a dog or a car than to adopt a kid. Figure the responsibility, though.
