I didn't knock you up. If you get raped go after the rapist, not the tax payers. That's what law enforcement and the court system is for.
We have the morning after pill, try it if you can't control yourself.
The morning after pill? You mean the one many pro-lifers want to ban?
Go after my rapist? What makes you think a rapist is going to pay child support? Even with law enforcement, many regular baby daddies get out of paying child support, don't have a job or just don't make enough money to support a child.
And then, guess what, YOU get to pay for it! LMAO!
And birth control pills and condoms 99.9% effective.
Do you sit around disgruntled thinking about all those women getting free BC so they can have protected sex? If state and federal agencies stopped funding birth control I doubt you would notice any decreases in your tax obligation. Would you then sit around disgruntled thinking about government funds going to alcoholics and drug addicts, diabetics, fat people, vaccinations, pain prescriptions, treating STDs, etc. etc.?
But, I get it, from your point of view, if a woman can't pay for her own medically necessary abortion she deserves to die......how very PRO-LIFE of you.
No, I suggested funding via private sector charitable foundations. Those who support abortion can donate. Should be no problem, as many in fact do support abortion.

I AM a woman. And I managed my own fertility. Neither expected nor felt 'entitled to' a handout of free BC. Had only 2 wanted pregnancies/births. No unwanted pregnancies. If I can do it, so can others.
Instead of quoting "Perfect Use" why didn't you quote "TYPICAL USE"?
Being foolish and using a method incorrectly should never be excused. BC pills aren't effective when one forgets to take them every other day. Be irresponsible when you're driving a car, and the penalty for stupidity and carelessness could be death.
Why the hell aren't people more responsible for their own actions? They don't have to be. Uncle Sugar will pour money and freebie benefits all over them when they f' up. (No pun intended.)
I would assume that not providing birth control and such would cause them to have way more kids. I am also going to say paying birth control is exponentially cheaper than providing food, daycare and health care for a child for 18 years
That is beside the point. Substitute government mandated sterilization, and see how the Libs squeal, yet the government providing free birth control is swell. The end result is the same.

Ignoring whether or not the government should be in the business of subsidizing medicine in the first place, can you really not see the difference between imposed permanent sterilization of people against their will and temporary sterilization pursued at their own discretion? Take this one back to the drawing board....

Again, Medicaid, State or Federal, does not fund abortion on demand, only abortions that are deemed medically necessary.
'Therapeutic'....I suggest you look up the definition. Most all medical procedures of any kind would be called therapeutic.....including ending a pregnancy that could negatively effect the health of a woman.
If you do not want doctors to decide when abortion is the best course for a woman's health, who do you want to make that decision? Should a politician be called in to consult?.....a minister?.....someone like you?
Why is it that women's health is a political issue at all? Men do not have to jump through all kinds of hoops in order to receive "therapeutic" care for any of their health issues.
If my doctor says it could be detrimental to my health to continue with my pregnancy, why shouldn't Medicaid or insurance pay for it.....just as they would pay if my doctor said I needed any other type of proceedure?......or would pay if a man needed a certain procedure to guard his health?
Can't you see how this marginalizes women and their healthcare?
