But Republicans are quite strongly against the government helping poor women get birth control.
Not to be OBVIOUS....
1. I am over 50. Yes, in my teens we "did the deed", but we were a LOT more cautious. We understood the risks, and took precautions to avoid the end result.
2. Why, if we were doing the SAME thing, was pregnancy not as prevalent? Because of the precautions we took. We feared getting someone pregnant, and having to raise a baby we were not prepared to have.
3. Yes, Roe vs Wade was passed, but it was still considered bad, when you had to find an abortion clinic, there was still a stigma to ending a life.
4. If you want to have sex however and whenever you want, by all means, but the reason some people feel

, is because the government has no money, except what they receive in taxes. This means, that I, working to support my family, and paying taxes that are SUPPOSED to be used to secure our borders and the safety of our country , is being used to support someone's recreational sex.
5. Yes, recreational sex, it's not for procreation, that means it's recreational. And while yes, Sex is enjoyable, if it's not for procreation, then let's find some other activity that's enjoyable, that doesn't ask someone else to fund or support it for you, OR, pay for your own birth control. I enjoy driving my car. If I cannot afford the gas, why should I ask you to provide it for me?
6. As I mentioned before, the original intent of our framers, was that each state would have laws that the residents of state wanted. If you didn't like one state, there was another. The idea was, that groups of people tend to congregate around each other of like mind, and because each group had somewhat differing ideas on what laws should be for their group, the states would pass laws conducive to the largest group. The reason we are a Democratic Republic, is so that we elect officials to represent our way of thinking, and that they would do as we wanted, BUT that they also looked out for the greater good, which meant that not everything we wanted, we got, because some things were not good for all. Our framers looked upon Democracy as Mob Rule.
7. Understanding all of that, Roe vs Wade is a federal precedent, which the state is required to abide by. Nothing however prevents them under the guise of health and safety, from making it more difficult, because they believe that abortion is not the right thing to do.
If you live in a state that passes laws you do not agree with, there are other states. Some more liberal, some more conservative. Like Sam Kinison said, If you can't grow food where you live, move to where the food is! By the same token, if your belief system isn't widely held where you live, find a place where it is.

Yes, the SCOTUS decided that abortion is right. If people think that is incorrect, get the Supremes to reverse Roe v Wade. Until that happens, NO State has the authority to take away an American's right.

Not to worry. Clinics are just where poor women go. Those with money can still get them from their private Dr, in the hospital.
