Everything is solvable with just a shiv, in the right places.
I think in addition to the already stated rant, the part that went missing was that the Catholic Church (American? Universal? I'm not sure if the elsewhere ones would feel differently) supports *new* babies, in an already overcrowded situation, for couples or individuals who have *no way* to raise them (or no intention, or whatever), such that they end up in the already overcrowded and poor foster home system, when there are couples who *want* babies, and can't *make* babies, but this is *bad*, and shouldn't be allowed, much less supported, and if we do allow or support it, then it *encourages* the problem.
(Sorry if that got long and twisted and convoluted, I think it's just one of those days.)
