We don’t have the money to pay for handicapped children and sick children born prematurely, shouldn’t we just abort them?
A. It is simply untrue that we do not have the resources to care for sick babies. Statistics Canada reported that in a fiscal year ending in March of 2002, $14.5 billion was spent in Canada on alcoholic beverages (spirits, wine, and beer).[xviii] That same year it was reported that Canadians would spend almost $500 each for “specialty coffees.”[xix] When that kind of money is spent on unnecessary items, one can hardly complain that there are no funds to ensure an individual’s necessary health care. We have the means, we just don’t have the will, because we are a selfish nation.
