Question

6. My calculations show that my plan needs to affect only 120,000 children whose needs are not being met by current methods. - Paragraph 5

7. My solution is not just for beggar children but for all children and families that are having difficulty surviving. - Paragraph 6

8. I, therefore, put forth my own solution. - Paragraph 2

1. There is such a large (and increasing) number of the poor that anyone who can find a workable solution should be honored. - Paragraph 4

2. My plan would reduce the money spent on abortions and the shame. - Paragraph 7
