You need to prepare the child you have for the world that exists.

If you have a child, I said, you have a responsibility at least to stay alive.

The greatest injustice in the world is to bring a child into the world, and not be able to offer it peace.

So while I can't tell you if bringing a child into this world is the morally-responsible to do, I can say that the future, much like the present, is going to be a whole lot better than you think.

I really believe that if you're going to bring a child into the world, it's your job to parent that world. Especially if it's just you; you don't pawn her off on somebody.

Giving children a fair chance to achieve their dreams and reach their potential is everyone's responsibility.

All of these things we do without children, and suddenly we don't do them anymore, and it comes home to us in a real way, that it's very different to have the responsibility of a child.

Since the conception of our country, America has held that parents, not schools, teachers, and certainly not courts, hold the primary responsibility of educating their children.

There is a 'sanctity' involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.

If you bring a child into this world, whether it's planned or an accident, you'd better make sure you can care for it. You have to be around. You make time. It's as simple as that.
