Have you or have you known anyone that has had government pay for their birth control? How is this even an issue that he speaks about?



Honest question because I don't know the answer, but is Planned Parenthood funded by the government? I had a g/f that would get a sh**load of condoms and her birth control for free through them.



Title X. Yes.


Signed in to law by Nixon, I might add.

Partially, they get grants from lots of places.

Mostly, if everything we've done at such stoopidly large expense isn't working, why don't we stop doing it?

Rho would rather pay the extra policing and insurance costs associated with the extra crime that unwanted pregnancies eventually result in through improperly raised children, poverty, etc, etc.

Its the conservative way.



Nah. He's just correct in his assumption that once the government stop's giving so much incentive for these young women to pop out kids, that they'll stop having sex.

It's ridiculous how easy it is for a single mother to get rich by doing nothing by having illegitimate babies.


They wont stop. Africa is a perfect example of that.

Education is the only thing that stops women from popping out babies. Empowered women who are educated, are much less likely to have kids at all.

Social Conservatives like Rick Santorum hate feminism and believe women should spend their time cooking and cleaning, which is exactly the type of idiocy that will keep women dumb and uneducated and putting out babies they shouldn't be having.

Personally, I am a strong believer in Feminism. I have nothing against women going out into the work force and being professional or educated. It doesn't threaten me at all and this is what we need on our planet, especially in 90% of the worlds countries that are anything but.

Until we can educate and empower women so that they don't feel they need to open up their legs in order to feel good about themselves, then I have no problem with a government providing free contraceptives.

The more women that enter the work force, the more the economy adjust to dual incomes becoming the norm. This results in it being harder for single parents and families with stay at home moms to survive.

Why do the religious feel that what other people do diminishes the value of what they do?

I mean, really? The fact that some people enjoy sex for no other reason than pleassure makes your sex lose meaning?

That's some hardcore insecurity there.



BUT AMG WE MUST LEAD THE LAMBS TO THE LIGHT!

It's fking aggravating. And I'm 'religious'.

Nothing will ever stop sex. Not even death will stop sex in some cases... (Granted, one partner sure isn't doing much!)

Trying to stop people having sex is like trying to stop the rain. You can think up all these crazy ideas, but they're not going to work.

edit: Will anything ever be a more effective deterrent to unprotected sex than HIV? What government can top that, really? You think MONEY stuff will stop it more than potentially fatal disease?

But...but...the immorality! It's so much more important than, say, fixing the goddamned economy, or solving the energy crisis...
