Woman v. The Government Woman: I cannot afford to have a child right now. Can I have birth control? Government: No. Woman: I got pregnant but I cannot afford to have a child and I'm not ready to be a parent. Can I have an abortion? Government: No. Woman: I had the child, but I cannot afford to raise him. Will you help me out? Government: No. Woman: I guess I'll have to give my child up for adoption. Barry and Steve: We would love to raise your child. We have been in a committed relationship for 15 years. We have steady careers and are very successful and financially stable. We love children and wish to provide a loving nurturing environment for your child. Would you be willing to give your child to us? Woman: Sure, as long as it's ok with the government. Government: No.
