Quote: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. 

 

You do realize that we give birth control away by the ton now and we still have all those problems, right?

 

That in addition to preventative birth control we also permit abortion and we STILL have those problems, right?

 

Birth control isn't the issue, the culture is. And saying that taxpayers should foot the bill to prevent births of potential criminals is placing the blame and responsibility in the wrong place. If we'd actually blame the right people, those who actually do the deeds, instead of rewarding them,  then we'd be on the road to correcting this.
