And, since having babies benefits all of society, the cost of childbirth should be shared by everyone.<br /><br />By the way, a Sessions Watnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316092757798531159.post-52752251924837003852009-11-10T11:35:11.394-06:002009-11-10T11:35:11.394-06:00John,

If so, please refrain from procreation. <br /><br />These arguments are ridiculous. The true problem is he equated being a woman to being a smoker. Does that not strike you as completely asinine?
