[Margaret Pilkington]

If you cannot afford the upkeep of children, then you should not have them.
Why should the government be responsible for financially supporting children...that is the job of parents.
Contraception is freely available for all...and most people are educated about prevention of unwanted pregnancies.
Jason as for your comment about a child conceived through sexual assault or abuse, well that is a ludicrous comment.
If someone is subjected to such a thing and then they decide to continue with the pregnancy, they are taking responsibility for the child.
