11. They don't really care as long as they get what they think...
they want. They think they want to help those people but they never follow up on it to see that they are taken care of. I live in Bexar Co. in Texas and we have one of the highest teen pregnancy rates here. It is so sad you see young children and pregnant girls everywhere. I had a friend who got pregnant when she was 18 and she actually tried to do the best she could. Her parents helped her all they could. When she was 21 and she was living alone with her child making $6 or $7 an hour and paying rent, bills, etc... she tried to go and sign her son up for programs where he could get a better education, and some help with day care costs they told her she was too rich. She made too much money and they only way they could help her was if she had more children. (I couldn't believe it when she told me that they are still telling people that) She looked at the lady and told her off saying she could not believe she was sitting there and being told to bring more children into this world when she was struggling to raise her son the only child she had. She actually did get pregnant before that and realized that she has no place to bring another child into the world and be able to care for it so she had an abortion.

This girl in 2000 and probably also this year voted for *!!! Can you beleive that? I am not friends with her for other reasons but I tried soo hard too convince her that * was against people like her and like all the idiots she says "well he is a good christian"
