13 years old, and she lives in a shelter--why, forcing her to have a baby is a brilliant idea!

Oh, REALLY?
I admit it—I've been skulking around some places I shouldn't the past few days. FreeRepublic, CBN News...even Fox News. Just trying to judge the level of emotion over there, you know? Besides, you can dig up the most surprising things.
The folllowing comes from CBN.com's "Bring It On" section. Basically, you bring on the tough questions, and Pat Robertson will answer them. I mean, it describes them as, "Pat's practical, biblically grounded answers to today's hot button issues," so we can assume the words come straight from that squinty-eyed little man himself.
"Practical and biblically grounded"--remember that.
Q. I’ve been looking for a job now for several months. I’ve been getting unemployment and, I’m learning how to live on those checks and spending less time trying to find a job. Is it wrong to collect unemployment payments from the government?
A. Those unemployment payments are set up to help transition people just like you who are out of work to get to another place so that you’re not destitute. But whatever you do, unemployment is only for a limited period of time. You can’t stay on it for life. It isn’t a lifetime pension. And you don’t want to get in the habit of not working. Do everything you can to get yourself employed. And if you can’t get employed with somebody else, start a business on your own. Start some kind of a job that you can do something for pay. Because, otherwise, you’ll go down the drains. You’ll become like a vegetable. You don’t want to live that way. (Emphasis mine)
You heard Pat: Living "like a vegetable"—even one sentient enough to turn on daytime TV—is clearly undesirable. Someone should tell the Christian right, especially since his answers are so "practical and biblically grounded."
Unless...what he really means is that living on welfare is akin to living like a vegetable. Hmm...
