If you say you'll accept paying taxes to cover the millions of abortions per year, that's one thing. If not, I don't see where you can talk.

Your attitude is part of the problem, you're assuming that the babies that would be born would be complete drains on society. Many would be, because the abortion rate in impoverished areas is high and many would grow up with poor parental influence. But many others could make something of themselves. You seem to be writing off anyone from the inner city impoverished areas as having any kind of chance in life. You're way out of line to assume that they can't make something of themselves.
I'd be perfectly fine seeing 99 kids become complete dregs on society if it meant that one could grow up and become a contributing member. Robbing them of the chance to become something is wrong, and precludes them to a life of failure.
And yes, I'd gladly support the "dregs" with increased welfare taxes. Some issues are more important than money, and denying someone the right to a happy life is more important than an extra hundred or two bucks in my pocket each year.
