Problem I have with the Republicans....

Yeah you did not expect to see that from me. I thought I would post the probelm that I have with the Republican Party, in a form of being bi-partisan.

While the Republican Party genreally does oppose abortion, which I agreee with them on this issue, I feel that they do not do enough to help those who do not abort the baby and do proceed with having a baby. I feel that if the Republican Party is going to oppose abortion they need to support greater programs to help and aid women who are going to have these children. I don't feel that there should be monetary aid given to these individuals because of the mere fact that by doing so you would only encourage women to get pregnant for monetary gain. Example being Welfare, were many women have kids on purpose so that they receive an additional check in the mail. Also there are many programs that if the person is going to give the child up for adoption will cover the costs of the pregnancy.

Speaking of these programs I feel that they do help out but there are not enough ways to help. There should be more programs (and the existing programs to receive greater funding) to aid and help these individuals along the process. I also feel that there are many religious institutions that help out these young pregnant women. I feel that they should receive state or federal funding when it comes to helping these adoption agencies such as LDS Family Services. Also there are many state adoption agencies that help young women find homes for their babies when they themselves are not able to provide for their kids.

There are many young women that do decide to keep their babies and that is their decision. I feel that if these young women do want to continue with their education that there should be some kind of program that would allow a daycare service to take care of their kids while they continue their education. This aid would only continue if they maintained a certain grade point average. Also I would make sure that these women received child support from the father of these children. From my understanding enforcing child support varies from state to state. I would like to see it enforced on a national level. I would also have programs that would assist these women find jobs upon completion of their education. I personally would like to see these women do some form of community service to repay the aid they received, such as talking with the youth in the city about avoiding teen pregnancy or other forms of community service.

The goal is to help these young women from having to depend on a welfare check to survive. We need to help them, help themselves so that they can take part in benefit the communities they live in.
