Letter: Tackle abortion before it’s necessary

Why is it acceptable to give birth to a child you cannot afford? Can you finance a house or a car you cannot afford? It seems that the people who cannot afford children have the most children. Then those of us who have the common sense to live within our means have to finance them. Most of these births are not planned.

How much less it would cost the taxpayers if we opened clinics where males or females of any age could get free medication to prevent pregnancy. This would eliminate the abortion debate because it wouldn't be needed.
