Quote:Absolutely that's what I'm asking you to do.  But the threat of force should not be necessary, because you should want to do it.  

 

"Pay for my neighbor's sex habit..."  Do you really think people will stop having sex if they don't have birth control?   I have news for you, people have sex, and they have sex a lot, and your paying for their birth control has nothing to do with it.  Your choice is to either pay for their birth control or for there to be lots and lots of abortions, legal or illegal, and lots and lots of unwed mothers going on welfare, and lots and lots of young men committing crimes because they didn't have a father growing up.  

 

Yes, you should absolutely want to pay for their birth control.   It's a part of protecting life and liberty, yours, hers, mine, and the unwanted, unplanned babies who get aborted.  

 

For gosh sakes, I cannot understand the logic of wanting to reduce abortions but not wanting to make every effort to provide people with birth control.   Pro-life people talk about a MILLION MURDERED BABIES A YEAR, and yet these same people do not want to do the one simple thing that would reduce that: GIVE PEOPLE BIRTH CONTROL.  

 

GIVE IT TO THEM.  Don't even charge them for it.  Have the taxpayers provide it for free!  Because right now, the choice is between the small cost of providing everyone with birth control, or having lots and lots of abortions and out of wedlock babies.  

 

I would add a dimension to this.  Offer career welfare mothers the option of receiving free tubal ligation procedures.  Everything paid for, including child care during recovery and follow up treatments.  Many of these women are too irresponsible to maintain a birth control regimen and too broke or apathetic to seek abortions.  Given the choice I bet many would take advantage of it. 

 

On the other side of the coin, if a dead beat dad wants his plumbing snipped, give him the same option.  It's a quick outpatient procedure with minimal recovery time.  No charge.
