Nice launchpad for the kid

I feel sorry for these kids, though, just as I would feel sorry for a kid that was born unwanted because of some restrictive abortion law. I think wanting a child is a necessary, but not sufficient, part of the equation.
While you certainly can't stop a woman from having her baby, that doesn't mean that she isn't being reckless and ultimately selfish by having a child she can't provide for.
I think my views are shaped by the fact that my own childhood was impacted by some questionable decisions made by my own very young parents who spit before I was talking.

"Liberal Media" TV Station that rejected ad is Jesse Helms' old roost
[Read the article: Anti-Obama ad a winner for McCain]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]WRAL-TV is the station that has refused to run this ad, and it has been owned for decades by very conservative guys who hired Jesse Helms to do editorials in the 1960s (which is how Helms went from a behind-the-scenes political sleezebag to a Senate-office occupying sleezebag). It just shows how far to the right the NCGOP is...the (conservative, good old boy) Democrats still control state-level politics here (despite this being a solid red state for federal offices), and the GOP is a little more wing-nutty here than in most states where there is more competition.
