Gary Franks said "As the father of teenagers, both male and female, I strongly support that notion, but within the Republican bill, obviously there is a requirement of no additional payments to the mother, a requirement that she may have to live at home, but there is no provision for providing training to the young father. In fact, the record should reflect that it is generally poor women giving birth because of poor men, and we want to be able to address that kind of problem as well in order that they be responsible." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
