There are. At least there are in my state. it's like 3 months or so till you're off. No one seems to remember that Clinton signed the welfare reform bill.
Lisa, I want to agree with you, but the reality of American society says that your plan can't work. There are a lot of idiots out there too dumb to keep their stuff in their pants and/or use protection. The result is a child that gets to suffer for their mistake.
I will never understand how one can be hardcore prolife and wish to dismantle any program aimed at helping anyone in the lower income brackets. (not that I'm saying that's what you are advocating. I'm just saying it is problematic.)
