The rise of the DIY abortion in Texas

Should be murder

I don't understand why we can't just subsidize morning after pills. make them free for anyone with an ID. think of the money would save (not to mention the abortions).

Getting pregnant is a personal choice. Why should I have to subsidize a mistake you and your gf make?

So is being morbidly obese, and we're already subsidizing the hell out of that.

Id much rather have my tax dollars going for a relatively inexpensive pill than towards a kid who may need subsidization his/her entire life.

I'm pro death penalty once DNA has been verified, but I am pretty sure I've read that all the appeals actually drive up the cost and make it somewhat prohibitive. Plus the governors of the state in question usually reviews things, weighs delays, etc. What do you value an hour of a Governor's time as being worth - $50,000 or so? That's pretty prohibitive.

Good as it should be

The MAP is an abortion

Run the stats, G; if you can find the real thing.

BTW, it seems that an unwanted pregnancy is indicative of either an ignorant or irresponsible individual, or either one that just had a temporary slip. I suspect the latter would be a low number in the stats. And the former to be high on the list, and whose offspring would likely reflect that of their parent.

You can find extraordinary anomalies all the time. Check out our rising champion, Leonard Fournette, he is the epitome of a statistical anomaly. And a welcome one! (If you missed the PBS story on him...run it down. You'll be glad.)

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.

If they can be smart enough to take a pill afterwards, please explain why they aren't responsible enough to put on a rubber BEFORE! Or any other contraceptive BEFORE.

I have a graduate degree, make pretty good money, and if the chick seems clean and smells nice during my exploratory face dive then I don't tend to wear condoms. So I can hardly blame somebody who has way less going for them than I do for erring on the side of pleasure.
