- welfare systems are open to abuse, there all ways be some people who cheat, but this doesn't negate the vast majority of people who need forms of welfare to assist them, most people on welfare aren't just lazy, they need it. If you're going to cut things don't take it from the most vulnerable in society, like always seems to be the case. And there are many people who don't have the life skills at 18 to cope on their own, most do yes, but the whole point is to help the needy.

Hey, I hear what you're saying. Point noted and I have great respect for your opinion. But taxes have to come from somewhere and we're a trillion in debt. Lots of people make mistakes. But others abuse the system. Some do it many times. I'm not a big fan of welfare for able bodied people who don't want to work or illegals but I suppose I would consent to this service for underage girls. However once you reach 18 you're an adult, you can get a job, and you're on your own.

- Their will come a day when you need help, and no one offers you their hand....then you might have a tiny glimpse of an idea of how many women feel when they visit places like Planned Parenthood for abortion services .

just like I said at the last video - you knuckleheads don't even know what this video is about. It's not a debate on abortion, dumbasses. It's a debate on FUNDING abortions.

My vote goes to NO funding for abortions. I don't want MY taxes going to pay YOU for a free medical procedure because YOU couldn't keep it in your pants. Many of these women take advantage of this more than once too. Learn how to use the free fucking condoms from the hospital and stay out of my hard earned taxes.

What about a "fetus" that hears? THEN is it a human?

What about when it feels pain? How about THEN?

At what point-in your opinion- does a "fetus" become a human being?

Wow. You clearly don't understand how reproduction works. Men produce millions of sperm a day, but only a few sperm throughout his entire life ever is united with an ovum to become child. A sperm does not have a full set of DNA, unlike a zygote. A single sperm has absolutely no potential for life once it's ejaculated unless it fuses with an ovum. On the other hand, only time stands between a zygote and full human formation. THAT is the difference. Understand now?
