Think of how many of those 56 million that likely would be on foodstamps, welfare, medicare, social security, etc. Not to mention issues such as overcrowding and finding jobs for all those people. Republicans should be happy.

56 million unwanted babies born to teenage mothers, single mothers, drug addicts, etc.
Obama would have gotten 65% of the vote if abortion were illegal

And I'm betting the national crime rate is 56% lower than it would have been. We don't need 56 million more people in this country.

Which is worse...an abortion or a condom?
This. Anybody who who argue against a condom or any other form of birth control has no place in the abortion debate.

As a father of 2 myself, I understand this point of view, but find it astonishing. It's precisely BECAUSE I'm a father that I would put myself in harm's way to prevent someone murdering a child...and I'd hope someone else would do the same for my kids.

I went to a dumbass Right Wing redneck high school, and instead of teaching kids how to use a condom they showed us pictures of genitalia deformed by STDs and said 'this is what happens if you have sex.'
We had one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the state.

Man, shame on those rednecks for making it the highest teen pregnancy rates in the state. Did they make people have sex without condoms, or were the kids so stupid that they didn't know what a condom was for?

Were you all really so dumb you couldn't figure out how to use a condom without instruction?

Can you remember the first time you tried to put on a condom? There's a reason sex education classes exist. But schools like mine cared more about kids being abstinent than teaching them about safe sex.

You do know there are directions on every condom right? A 13 year old doesn't know what the frick reservoir tip means. That's why they have classes for kids where they have to put the condom on a banana.
Also, if it's a lubricated condom and the kid puts it on backwards it will slide right off. Don't be obtuse.

Whats your point?
Immigration has nothing do with the abortion debate.
Nice red herring though.

Yeah, I can. Is this really a complicated operation for people today?
You take it out of the packet.
You place it on your penis, and roll it down.
Whew..... We need instruction manuals.

If it's some innate ability then why does every condom have directions?

If its got directions, why the need for sex education or what's the problem using them?
Oh wait.... I forgot.
Tldr?
Maybe we need picture illustrations. Maybe a popup book with each condom purchased.

I agree with you 100%. Most people in this country are stupid, and Southern teenagers are incredibly stupid. They're also very very horny, so educating them on safe sex is a lot smarter than telling them to wait til marriage.

Abortion was legal before Roe. Roe made it a Constitutional right which extended it to all 50 states.

I really don't understand why they are mutually exclusive.
