Zeroing out Title V leaves 50 health centers in Wisconsin at risk of closing — many of which provided contraceptive care to 52,000 Wisconsin women in 2008 alone.
This does not help your case. If they are at risk of closing due to BCP not being covered any longer, why the heck are they open to begin with? Obviously they are not really of value to society...and I didn't read the link but I'm guessing a lot of these places might be Planned Parenthood and the like.
And if they served 52k women in one year between all 50 of them, and there are 5M people in the state...I'll leave you to do the math.
So now its Gov Walkers fault that insurance companies often cover Viagra, and not birth control? Do you think Walker should now require all insurance companies to pay for Viagra?
He is CUTTING funding leaving more money in the budget for education and other items..
What do you think he should cut?
Real simple for ya.
Cut funding for birth control for poor=increased birth rate of babies to poor=people unable to afford medical care for their children=increased need for state aid and increased need for education to higher number of pupils.
Saving a penny now on covering birth control=spending a dollar tomorrow on care of children born to those incapable of providing for them.
Nobody is walking on anyone's rights! Explain how Walker is doing so. By making it optional for insurance companies to cover BCP and eliminating it from public funding (I have only read what is on the thread so I don't know the real facts here, since the OP keeps changing his mind), how is this taking away rights or eliminating people from accessing birth control of some kind?

I never changed my mind. The premise of this thread is that Walker attacked birth control, on both public and private fronts, due to his Baptist ideology!
So you think not offering contraceptives is punishing the children? I think I've about had it with this thread.. the ridiculousness is going overboard.. You just keep making things up as you go along and the hyperbold is meaningless and not even true..
I think I'm also about to skip out here, it's over the top and makes little sense.

Do you not know how to read or are you just avoiding the question?

And I am saying you are wrong, as are others. Most of this thread has been about the facts, and avoiding your theocracy theory b/c it's all a bunch of baloney.

Walker was raised by a baptist minister. Baptists have moved toward considering all birth control a sin. Walker attacks birth control after only two months in office as if it is a priority right now.
