As a socio-political tactic. Education, abortion, feed the hungry children in ___. E.g. "My opponent cares nothing for the children".

My wife and I are incapable of bearing children. We are, however, quite fond of the children of our friends and family. I am not referring to children, but rather the concept of "child".

The concept of "fair" is also exploited more.

I'd say the concept of "need" is exploited more than "child", though there obviously is a connection.

Please expand.

huh? I'm confused.
