Quote:It's not a policy.


And you can't have it both ways, if you want to tell me it's a women's choice what to do once pregnant don't turn around and tell me it's society's responsibility to make sure she doesn't get pregnant.


That's the whole irony I find with the pro choice crowd. It's no ones business what happens once a women's pregnant but it's society's responsibility to make sure she doesn't get pregnant and if she does and can't afford an abortion were responsible to pay for it.

 

You say,

 

"...if you want to tell me it's a women's choice what to do once pregnant don't turn around and tell me it's society's responsibility to make sure she doesn't get pregnant."

 

But someone else would say, "if you want to tell me it's not a women's choice what to do once pregnant don't turn around and tell me it's not society's responsibility to help her make sure she doesn't get pregnant."

 

After all, can't we eliminate most abortions by eliminating unwanted pregnancies?  If abortions are evil and undesirable, then why not undertake an effort to provide women with birth control?  

 

The policy, no birth control and no abortion, is one that condemns women to having babies they don't want and/or cannot support.  We have lots and lots of babies born to unwed poor mothers, and that is a huge drain and drag on society.   The women drop out of school, go on welfare, the children wind up in prison because of the lack of a father at home, etc etc etc.   So why do you not want these people to have birth control? 

 

I know your answer already.   You want them to use birth control, you just don't want the government to provide it or mandate it in insurance plans.   But to me, this is the perfect place for the government to step in and do something to reduce a huge cost to society: unwed mothers, young men that wind up in prison because of the lack of a father, or, worst of all to the religious people, ABORTIONS. 

 

The answer is birth control, and we should be pushing it on people, not making it more difficult to get.
