Quote:Why is that?   Is there nothing government should do to prevent what a lot of people describe as murder?   Will the free market stop abortions?    Right now, you are ALREADY coming with the force of government to stop abortions through prosecution and police action.   Wouldn't it be more cost effective, as well as use a lot less government, to just prevent these pregnancies in the first place?  

 

Who's stopping abortions?!?  :blink:

 

Sure it'd be more cost effective to force people after 2 babies to be sterile let's go with China's 2 baby policy we're broke. You get 2 after that we make you sterile problem solved right?

 

Again everything is about precedents, you're asking government to force people and companies to pay for a medical procedure regardless of their opinions about the procedure. 

 

Preventing pregnancies is fine, I support it, hell I practice it! But forcing everyone else at the threat of government to pay for it is a different matter. Doesn't matter if birth control cost pennies on the dollar it's not a question of cost effectiveness, it's a question of power. Government will ALWAYS find justice causes and cost effective ways to increase their power.
