Regarding Rosemary Yardley's laughable column concerning the epidemic of illegitimacy, I must wonder whether her lobotomy was federally funded. She wrote that the first method of preventing illegitimate births should be by the federal funding of abortions for poor women.
The first method of preventing illegitimate births is by teaching individual responsibility at an early age, not by acting as if young people are animals who cannot control their own actions. This method is foolproof, effective and easy to learn while no innocent life is snuffed out. The next most effective method is birth control. Works almost as well as method number one and again, kills no one.
To actually believe that additional children for welfare mothers cost $ 34 a month is sheer idiocy. Surely you must have some idea of what it cost to have a child these days, including all prenatal care, doctor's visits, the birth itself, education for 12 years, housing (remember the recent case of the single mother on welfare demanding a four-bedroom house at our expense to house her litter), food, clothing. I assume these are all included in that $ 34.
Let us not demand federal funding to close the barn door after the horse is gone, but let us demand federal funding for Norplant for welfare mothers after the first illegitimate child. This is very effective, and reversible. When the mother moves from the welfare rolls, and can support her children, remove the implant. No, you don't have to force people; simply give them a choice.
