Quote:But you are missing the reality of it. We are paying either way. As a society we are paying a ton for unwanted pregnancies.

 

Yes, we are paying with increased crime, more prisons, more police, more courts, more welfare, and on and on. 

 

Providing free birth control seems like such a no-brainer to me, I don't understand why people resist the idea.  I guess they prefer a slew of unwed mothers, fatherless babies, teenage criminals who have no father, and loads of welfare payments. 

 

In addition to that, if a person thinks abortion is murder, wouldn't decreasing unwanted pregnancies lead to a decrease in abortions?

 

The only reason I can think why people resist this idea is religion.  It sure isn't logic.   But we can't discuss religion, so that's that.
