http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2013/04/08/msnbc_ad_kids_dont_belong_to_their_parents_its_collective_responsibility.htmlI know that I have a viewpoint that is different than some on this topic, but is MSNBC really advocating that children belong to whole communities?
[sarcasm] Does that mean that I have say in how other children are being raised? [/sarcasm]

The idea of a person 'belonging' to another/other implies ownership. I don't believe that parents 'own' their children, or that the community does.
What I do believe is that parents and the wider community have a responsibility to the children. If the parents cannot or will not discharge that, then someone has to - or the child will suffer,

How about on whether or not they can be aborted?

Goose and Gander, perhaps? Hmmm, I did not think of that...

She's an absolute Socialist.
http://hotair.com/archives/2013/04/10/n ... all-times/ She thinks it's okay if those who are successful have a "little" more than the rest of us, but there are minimums which every American is ENTITLED to!
Incredible.

Yeah, the idea that everyone should have things like food, access to education, a place to live, access to healthcare...
The horror!

and she DOES have access to all those things, the horror to think she has to contribute to society and can't sit on her ass eating (free?) bon-bons all day long!
