I never ever heard of such a thing, and it sounds like the first time I have heard Ron Paul spew propeganda when he should see it from my perspective, who in the hell is going to support these unwanted kids? More taxation?

Although I'm prochoice myself, there is a waiting list of people who would like to adopt children.

Define "smaller government" for me will you please?
Do you mean:
Fewer DMV clerks so I can waste 2 days instead of one?
Fewer doctors researching so I'll be at a higher risk of dying in an epidemic?
Fewer government meat inspectors so I can get e.coli more often?
Fewer postal workers so my current snail mail looks fast?
Fewer National Parks, and park workers so there are more forest fires?
Smaller Coast Guard so boaters learn to be more self-reliant, and smugglers can breathe easier?
Fewer building inspectors so I can't trust the building not to collapse on me?
Fewer public works people so the sewage backs up in the street?
Fewer government workers overall so that the response time stretches in months and years for anything?
I think people confuse "smaller government" with "less intrusive government", which is not the same thing.
The problem isn't that government is too big, it is that it is too small: not enough people to tend to the needs of the nation.edit on 16-10-2011 by apacheman because: (no reason given)
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
