Alex:

Guess I'm first to take this tasty bait you are dangling. But I'll keep it short.

1. The ultimate right is for a person to have control over their own body.

2. No one has a right to anything any other has produced -- even a plate of old, cold beans.

3. The State does not have the right to undermine individual's rights by supporting (or rewarding) the folly of one or more of the members of its society -- especially to the detriment of other's rights in that society.

4. The anecdote you relate has a woman who presupposes that society is going to take care of her and her children. She is right to believe that in a socialist state. She would NEVER believe that in a free country.

5. The anecdote also serves to underscore that, despite popular delusion to the contrary, the USA is not truly a free country anymore.

How's that for openers?
