If they are redundant then you should be able to produce a study, I didn't hear that point brought up in any debate. There are no facts to support your opinion, pulling the plug on a health organization that supports 60% of the low income families will be a significant impact. The congressmen that approved this bill don't give a rats rear end about these people living at the low end, they just want to see PP defunded.
Guess they're guna have to wrap it or abstain... Or turn to alternative measures to avoid a visit from the stork, or blisters and drips and itches and funky smells show up now aren't they?

See how far THAT gets you!

Eating is a "raw instinct", so when you are walking through the grocery store you can grab any piece of food you see and stat eating it and walk out the store without paying for it.

We have a LOT of "raw instincts" which we control. we are NOT wild animals.

Sane Mature adults CAN control their "raw instincts" which puts us apart from the rest of the animals in the world.
Oh no... Don't hit them with common sense and preach responsibility! thats a no-no!

None of these clinics can function without funding why do you think they put Title IX in place 50 years ago, do you think there were free market clinics.

.......or just go on the public dole to support the kids and use the local ER for those blisters, drips and funky smells.....after spreading it around awhile.


THAT's reality vs wishful thinking.

Again....wishful thinking that isn't going to happen.


We have to do things that will work, like making it as easy as we can for people to avoid unwanted pregnancies and treat STDS....... it will save us all money in the long run.


Pay a little bit now or a lot later.


People need to make peace with the concept instead of ranting about woulda, coulda, shoulda.

So rewarding bad behavior and enabling poor choices through tax funded programs will stop the problem?

Educate. Instill morals, standards, and self discipline, that would end unwanted pregnancies and STDs... 0 one night stands, monogamous when in relationships, get to know someone before getting intimate with them, use some form of birth control/abstain or other "activities" that do not yield pregnancy. Problem solved.

Cut those programs, make them feed what they breed, let the diseased die off. Can't spread if it doesn't exist anymore.

I myself would not entertain the idea of sleeping with someone I met the same night I met them. If she's got intentions of coming back to my place, or invited me back to hers, nope.
If she informs me of having kid(s), end the conversation right then and there.

0 kids. 0 diseases/infections. Don't need a notch on my bedpost to feel better about myself. Don't live a cheap lifestyle or adhere to fads/norms either. Quality trumps quantity. Prime rib or 50 doublechin burgers from McDonald's? 2 kias or 1 Cadillac? 5 one night stands a month or developing a relationship and get it every night?

Wow! Who knew it was that easy? You've just solved a problem that has been around for about 10,000 years! You win the internet today!

Bears repeating. This should have ended the thread. When a major grocery store shuts down their customers go somewhere else for groceries. They don't starve.

We need more abortions. It means less Democrat voters in 19 years. If not for Roe v. Wade we would have had 2001-2009 Al Gore, 2009-2017 Barack Obama, Hitlery Clinton 2017-
