That's the point, though, 'helpless as a rape victim's newborn infant.' How does that rape victim learn the skills you have, as many rape victims are children themselves? She drops out of school, takes a minimum wage job to support a child she was forced to carry, is wickedly depressed, has no health insurance to get therapy, and not a free moment to do much of anything aside from caregiving in her sleep deprived state. Not everyone has the same access to that lifestyle and if we all did, those with money and power will look to handicap certain demographics to ensure they benefit from that exploitation. The attacks on reproductive freedom is precisely that, it has nothing to do with 'life,' it has everything to do with stratifying society so there remains unpaid labor related to the domestic sphere and future little consumers. This is why I challenge the notion of rugged individualism because few actually do this. We appreciate roads, and highways and doctors if we are sick, EMS in emergencies and so on. Learning skills to be much more self-sufficient I do agree with and those that choose their lattes then that is on them in an emergency. But maybe some of those latte drinkers are environmental scientists or immigration lawyers or whatever. We all can have value in our own ways, but I am resistant to the American ethic of the rugged individual precisely because that 'rugged individual' was at some point dependent, likely on his mom, who maybe would have liked a little mountain time alone herself if she had ever had that opportunity.
