OK, I misunderstood your post...

The subtext to her argument is '...not a child fed [with tax money], not a child educated [with tax money], not a child housed [with tax money].'

Her point being that the same people who oppose abortion are inclined to oppose child welfare, as well.

I'm more of a social libertarian than an economic one, and I'm quite comfortable agreeing to disagree that the government ought to intervene with issues like child hunger.

The hypocrisy lies in how some people would like to see a child birthed but uncared for. The economics of poverty and social liability of irresponsible parents are my main reasons for being pro-choice.


The most hypocritical idea conceivable and my main beef with the pro-birth movement.

It goes along with the myth that private charity is sufficient to deal with social problems as large as ours and aren't just Band-aids on a cancer.

And like I said, opposing massive taxes is not the same as opposing child education/housing/food.
The subtext is she is a lying douchebag pretending her ideological opponents think children shouldn't be taken care of and you pridefully re-posted it.

Who are these magical people that think children should starve? You can't find them.

Children should be taken care of!

Okay... how are we going to do that?

I'll donate 10$ to charity here and there, should be enough right?

1. Yes they are.
2. You can oppose massive taxes without them being in place yet

Great argument. Ill be sure to use that one at a later date.
Ill make sure to appeal to emotion and lie a bunch too.
Anything is just in pursuit of bigger government.

The IMG is about abortion, not feeding hungry children.

However, often the same people who oppose abortion would cut federal funding to needy families.

So refraining from killing babies is only acceptable if you unconditionally support violently confiscating more and more of other people's money to pay for them?
