Think the logic through. How would they be punished? Would they be unable to attend college? Get a high paying job? Be a big-time lawyer and have a Mercedes?
The implication is that the punishment would be in terms of money. The implication is that somebody who thinks a baby is punishment loves money more than the child.
That isn't the type of person I would want in position of POTUS.

Seriously we have already over-populated the world, there isn't enough resources to sustain the current population, let alone the extra growth and depletion of said resources as time goes on.

ChocoTaco369 Absolutely. You're the one that decided to have sex regardless of consequences. Now that something has gone awry, you're not man enough to deal with the mistake?
You don't have to keep the child, you know. There are countless parents out there who desperately want to adopt a child. Put the kid up for adoption if you really can't support the child.
Do you realize that for all of human existence except for the past few decades, when you had sex and things went awry, you HAD to keep the child? Now all of a sudden, because we can kill kids before they're born, that makes it okay?
What if your mommy doesn't let you out on Friday night? You got in trouble at school and she grounded you. Why don't you kill her? That way, she won't be able to stop you from going out Friday night. Why not? You CAN kill her, so obviously since it's an option, it's the right thing to do, right? There's no difference between her life and the life of a baby. They're all one life. If you're going to kill the baby because you can't claim responsibility for your actions, why don't you just kill everyone and everything that gets in your way in life? Murder is murder. It's all the exact same situation. I'll never understand these people that don't value human life. They're the same exact people that commit first degree murder. They're all very dangerous individuals.
And so continues the paradox of liberal "logic" (if you can really call it that). The same nutjobs that denounce our troops for joining a war and killing terrorists that want us all dead
will freely kill a defenseless, innocent baby out of sheer inconvenience. How does that work? That statement deserves a thread in itself.
What the whole concept of waiting allows us to do..is put off responsability, there is no being prepared my friend, there is nothing that can prepare you, not school, not classes, not age or wisdom.
the average person lives now like a Kinf would have in terms of food and security and luxury a few hundred years ago
it's just not I grew more in a year than my whole life previous... all I needed was Love and a work ethic and in time I began to understand the pleasure of sacrifice...
Just Love, Just a willingness to put food on the table, The kids Love in return is unconditional, it's a great thing
I can not imagine life without them, I know no greater love or satisfaction in this world
And I have a son and a daughter and you will never know yours he is dead you won't ever know you could have done it, you will never have him or her in your life

I understood immediately what Obama was saying and it certainly not the smear jamie is spreading.
In many ways having a child that young is a punishment... a punishment for sloppy sexual behavior.

Seriously, what is the smear?

Can you suggest other words Obama might have used to get his point across?
