Show Me the Economist Who Says We Are In a Crisis from lack of Birth Control  

I actually just finished watching it again a minute ago. Basically she said that states economies are struggling and the reason is because they are dealing with the cost of health care for children as well as education costs. She said giving $200,000,000.00 to fund birth control and family planning (read: abortion), will reduce the cost to the state. There is NOTHING to indicate that flooding Planned Parenthood and similar organizations with money will do anything to help the economy. There are plenty of DIRECT ways to help the economy with $200 million dollars to throw around.

This is a piss poor way to further her pro-abortion agenda. Birth control is important and should be available to people who need it, but the fact is that is already IS available. The people who aren't using condoms, are the ones who wouldn't bother to get the free condoms anyway. There is no evidence that childbirth is a factor in our current economic situation.

That's why the title is "Show me the economist who says..."

Abortion and birth control have been available since 1973 and yet we still have poor people. Apparently, it's worse now than it's ever been.

Wow, I just don't understand it. Why won't those poor people just abort themselves out of existence already? I guess we need to put more money into encouraging those poor people to get more abortions.

It is against the concept of Republicans to mention, breath or think about birth control, much less allow it. The apointee to the FDA by Bush advises women who have problems with PMS and menopause to read their bible. Somehow I think that besides reading our bible there are medical advances in the field of hormones and women's health that we can and should anticipate federal programs to provide our women (especially the FDA). This is purely example of the backward and arrogant self centered single mindedness of Bush and his cronies and I feel reflective of the Repblican mindset.

TASKR....Why don't you just shut up and wait and see what the Obama adminsitration can do. Your party had eight years things are far worse than they were before. You are in no position to point fingers without them being chopped off.

"It is against the concept of Republicans to mention, breath or think about birth control, much less allow it."

Get off your freaking soap box kitten. Republicans are not opposed to birth control at all. That has NEVER been a stance by the republican party. Being opposed to abortion is COMPLETELY different since republicans don't see murdering an unborn child as birth control even if you do.

"The apointee to the FDA by Bush advises women who have problems with PMS and menopause to read their bible."

I'd LOVE to see where that was said. I'm not saying someone didn't say it, but if you're going to make that statement, I want some proof. At the very least allow me to call the person an idiot. Frankly though, I think you're making it up.

"TASKR....Why don't you just shut up and wait and see what the Obama adminsitration can do. Your party had eight years things are far worse than they were before. You are in no position to point fingers without them being chopped off."

This is AMERICA kitten. I will ALWAYS voice my opinions. In my opinion only a complete idiot would think giving $200,000,000.00 to BIRTH CONTROL would stimulate our economy. Are YOU stupid enough to think that birth control stimulates the economy or did you just post here because you like being nasty and bashing anyone who isn't pro-abortion? FYI, democrats have been in control for the last 2 years and that's when our economy started to plummet.

TASKR, Up until now, I had some reason to think you knew a little about what you were talking about. Now I have no reason to think you know what you are talking about. If you do not know about what I posted you do not know what the party you are supporting is about, it's basic premise. I think you should do the research honey. You are not paying attention, and have not been which is why you mouth off here.

Kitten, you're just delusional. You make up claims and then tell me that I should research them? How can I research your lies when you don't even have so much as a stupid blog to back you up, much less a respectable source? I know EXACTLY what party I'm in. Unlike you I don't blindly support everything my party does and stands for. I believe most republicans are against teaching contraceptives in public schools. I disagree with them on that. However, the Republican party has NEVER been against USING birth control That is, unless you are one of those pro-abortionists who consider abortions birth control.

By the way, I'm still waiting to see someone show me how birth control, or for Pelosi Population Control, will stimulate the economy.

I just wanna say.
Although I am pro-choice, I am anti-abortion. And I don't agree that the state should be funding abortions in the US. Family planning, sure, makes sense, and if money is going to Planned Parenthood and other family planning centers that offer abortion that's fine, but non of that funding should be given directly to abortion doctors or women that want an abortion. With all of the families longing to adopt a new born baby, it seems ridiculous that the state would fund abortion. I am by no means a Darwinist or a Malthusian and I don't agree that making cruel decisions to stop overpopulation is by any means a rational thing for the state to do. What if someday it becomes cheaper for a woman to get an abortion than to go on birth control because of state funding? I just can't see anything good coming out of that.

Planned Parenthood is the nation's largest abortion provider. Any money they get will be primarily used to perform abortions.

You and I rarely agree on anything but we agree on this. The idea behind this state sponsored "family planning" is to encourage poor people to get abortions so the state has less mouths to feed. On the surface it seems smart but when you break it down it's downright evil.

It's not necessarily true that it would be largely used to fund abortion, if the money was given blindly, sure, but if there is oversight and proper documentation as to where the money was going it is possible to prevent that. I go to Planned Parenthood because I don't have health insurance that covers gynecology visits and PP is the only place (that I know of) that offers assistance based on income.

"if the money was given blindly, sure, but if there is oversight..."

Yeah, because the government has proven to be so skilled at oversight. What was that bailout money spent on again?

Either way birth control doesn't stimulate the economy. Any money saved by fewer births wouldn't be seen for several years since it takes 9 months for a child to be born and at least another 4 years afterwards before the child begins school. You could also factor in long term that less births means less taxpayers in the future.

Abortions constitute over 90% of Planned Parenthood's business.
