Yeah, part of my gig is not just "are you financially capable" but are you also emotionally, mentally and responsible enough? There are way to many children out there who are neglected and/or abused, and so much of it stems from people just going oh yeah babies! and not thinking about everything that goes with childrearing...or worse, just not giving a shit about what goes with childrearing.

I helped a friend who was in a bad situation (I didn't realize HOW bad at the time) go and get an abortion, and even in that capacity I had second thoughts on that one until I found out the whole story...but I still did it in respect for her right to choose. (Initial story, she was pregnant by her black boyfriend, her family very ultra conservative christian, she was flat broke, no car, no job, nothing....boyfriend basically same stretch...later I found out her FATHER had raped her and gotten her pregnant.)

Abortion isn't a light choice either, that's for certain. I think quality of life, as opposed to quantity of life, needs to factor in though, and that doesn't get thought of enough.

Regardless of what you do, it is a very big decision that should be thought about strongly rather than just going with the flow of whatever the current regime is screaming.
