I personally know someone who was begged out of an abortion. She was scared to death and. nothinking clearly. Now hte kid is a straight A student at the amot prestigious private school.in New Orleans. So much for your myopic theory

Seriously? Anecdotes are neat.

But do any of you guys believe in math? Math is pretty easy, right? What is cheaper? The morning after pill, or 18-78 years of welfare?

You don't believe in abortion? Fine. Is it going away? No. No. No. It is never going to go away. To think so is BEYOND obtuse. It's one of those stupid fricking fringe issues that COST REPUBLICANS ELECTIONS. Jesus Christ. Move the frick on. It's over.

But how about making the best of a bad situation? Worried about the fricking budget deficit? Well, I don't know, how about encouraging the admittedly too irresponsible to take the morning after pill? Or are we assuming that by some miracle people will stop being irresponsible? Is that the plan? Take away any option you don't agree with, then no one will do it any more? Even when federally legal?

I can't understand the stupidity of some of you guys' arguments and the lack of consistency when trying to reconcile anyone's beliefs on fiscal conservatism with the ridiculous fairy tale belief that somehow, someway we WON'T end up subsidizing the vast majority of these unwanted pregnancies.
