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.

Correct, the welfare state was brought into being in the 1940s to help the genuine poor people of this country, not as an excuse to give the work shy the same benefits, ie, unlimited children, cars, holiday's, meals out etc, as the folk who have worked for them all their lives and this comment comes from a one time staunch socialist and lifetime union member. (one time meaning up until the so called new Labour and war monger Blair took over).
End of rant, Your's, Taddy.
