I used to say that abortion opponents should be willing to pay higher taxes to deal with the costs of unwanted children. Today, however, I saw a headline to the effect that Florida already has a shortage of foster parents. That gave me the idea–instead of simply paying more money to deal with new social problems caused by the elimination of legal abortion, why not forcibly enlist abortion opponents to foster the unwanted children?
If you’re not willing to put your money where your mouth is on this issue, you are, to quote Jacques Chirac, missing a great opportunity to shut up.
