    Yeah. A newborn is usually better of with two other humans raising it instead of one that up until recently had a support system in place.

    I don’t think it’s a wonderful plan, but the kid can’t exactly start passing out resumes to help mom make ends meet. Any other idea involves the government providing goods and services to a single mother and half of the voters really hate that idea.

    Ah you’ve got an axe to grind. Good luck. You’re gonna need some real sound arguments to get through this crowd. If what’s best for the child is what matters there should be more social services to support parents so they can be the best they can for their children as well as services and aid for children as they grow up.

    What’s best for a child is to be with their mother, even if mom is a drug addict. In today’s world we often force women to have babies and then rip them away from their mothers to punish them and then wonder why a motherless adult that had gone through the foster system is struggling to be a productive member of capitalist society.

    Fighting for what’s best for the child doesn’t stop after they’re born, otherwise why even bother? Just abort them. And without support, abortion can very well be what’s best for a fetus, or a bunch of cells.

    Want less abortions? Make raising a child and being a good parent financially and logistically easier.
