you mean you have NEVER seen it

Wanted to add, that an EBT where I live is for food stamps and you cannot get cash back on it. You can't even buy anything with it that is not a food item.

Now I have met people trying to get me to give them $40 cash and offer to buy me $80 worth of groceries on their card, but that is fraud so I always decline.

Also wanted to add that birth control does not cost $4 a month or even $10 a month . When I was a young college student over 10 years ago I went to (uh oh....) Planned Parenthood and got on BC. It was $25 a month. If I were to get it currently with my insurance it would be $20 per month so now that I have more money and am better off, it would actually be less than it was when I was a poor, starving college student.

It is also interesting to hear so many tell others to be responsible and get on BC. I know a lot of very anti-abortion people who believe that life begins at conception and they know (I guess others don't) that one of the primary ways that birth control works is to keep a fertilized egg from implanting in the womb (this is the case for all hormonal BC and especially IUDs like Mirena and Paraguard) because of their beliefs they are against all forms of BC because all BC except barrier methods is a form of abortificient so if you are against abortion, then you should also be against all hormonal forms and IUD birth control options.

I know work is a 4letter word to liberals...liberals just think to can have cradle to grave entitlement and the middleclass will keep paying for it with a smile and a wink


liberals would not recognize REALITY if it smacked them in the face
Another reality check for a conservative.

There are not enough jobs in the USA for every person who is trying to get one.

Gee, hasn't that been in the news an awful lot lately?

"Social Justice" is a requirement of the faith, if you are Christian.
I suspect you've been listening to false prophets. If you are a Christian yourself you should research your church better.

Please quote the precise scripture(s) requiring "social justice" by the government rather than voluntary charity by an indivudual.

They condone buying drugs illegally.

Not surprising, since they would like to ban legal, safe, abortion, knowing full well illegal abortion would quickly take its place.

Gee, I wonder what conservatives have to gain from a "medical black market" in this country?

Oh......I know! It would require MORE governmnent police agencies and MORE prisons and MORE costs to the tax payer!

That is simply not so. There are not enough jobs for those that WANT to work, let alone for those that don't. That is reality.

Cutting funding for services that help to control population growth and banning abortion, is not the way to go if you want to have a decrease in the amount of people who need tax payer assistance to survive.

Better to pay a little now, than a lot later. WHY can't conservatives comprehend that concept?

Well, except in cases of rape or incest. Even a conservative couldn't sink so low as to require a victim to pay for their own abortion.

Oh wait........Sarah Palin required rape victims to pay for their own rape kits! My bad.
REALITY check for liberals.

The government gives PP tax dollars, and PP in turn performs abortions. See how the math works?

REALITY check for liberals. If you NEED tax payer assistance to survive, then you aren't worth the oxygen you're breathing. What would you do if there was no more taxpayer assistance? Die? Well, maybe we should just cut out the middle step, save me some tax dollars, and call it good.

Another reality check for a conservative.

Tax payer money IS NOT used by Planned Parenthood to preform abortions.

Tax funds and the PRIVATE funds that go towards abortions are kept strictly seperate. This is overseen by government audits.

But since when are conservatives interested in the FACTS?
