Bless you're heart. You need to brush up your reading comprehension skills.

I said people don't have a problem with the BIRTHRATE of poors.

I didn't say shite about the abortion rate of poors. Although I support any measure which decreases that, such as abortion. In no way shape or form did I say that the cause for people to get abortions was money.

Do you see me try to link abortion rate to being poor/rich

I wasn't responding to your argument, I was simply saying that the fact I provided was relevant to what pinecone repair was responding with.

Let's have a look back at the initial exchange-

Then you're like:

No shite. Wealthy people are usually pretty smart.
They also aren't the ones who benefit from the frick trophy funds.

The poors (who are usually less intelligent than wealthy people) benefit from all sorts of gov benefits. It's not shocking to see that they aren't busting down planned parenthood's doors.

I promise you that if you're making 30 thousand a year you are doing without something. It's tough to make it on 30.

Pro life… but if you find out early enough for a pill to terminate, then ok. If you have to have the baby pulled from you and killed, sorry but you're killing a human.

As far as illegal or legal, I guess the states should decide… but ZERO federal dollars should go to pay for it in any way, especially to organizations like Planned Parenthood. They shouldn't get a fricking dime from the government.

You wanna pay for that dirt poor lady's kid for the next 18 years? Just for it to be raised in poverty, with the deck stacked against them where they will more oft than not end up on welfare themselves?

I'd rather the govt pay a one time fee upfront than be on the hook for decades.

Nix that too.

When the gravy train for irresponsible behavior is derailed, said behavior tends to improve.

But then you have the problem of starving and dying children. Human suffering. Is it not Kinder and more humane to eliminate the problem before it begins?

Can't be starving and suffering kids when their parents can't afford to feed or house them because you took away their welfare if mommy and daddy had been sterilized once they reached the number of kids they can sustain on their own. Be that one kid or five.

We can surely meet in the middle. Outlaw abortion. But sterilize all violent felons, anyone on welfare for longer than 2 years, and anyone making under 50k a year single/100k family with 2 kids to prohibit them from poping out money leeches.

That's meeting in the middle?

And not sure if you care but you are advocating for the sterilization of almost the entire military. Also, income is not static. At what age do you administer the sterilizations? Many in their child bearing years aren't making over your amount but they will in a few years. So do you sterilize them a year out of college or do you wait until they've proven to be eternally low earners at 40 (after they've already had kids anyways)?

Again, you completely dismiss the effect of your policies on the minds of those who would irresponsibly frick.

You act like the existence of welfare hasn't played a hand in the increase of single parent households.

My personal view is abortion should be an option for cases of rape, incest, or severe medical complications. I do however understand you will not stop abortion and I am also not a bible thumping moralist telling people they will be damned to hell If you have one. I believe in very strict limits on abortion such as it can only be performed in a hospital by a doctor. I also do not believe an abortion should be performed outside the first trimester without a good medical reason. Abortions should be treated as a last resort option ,but if a woman chooses to get one it should be in a hospital under proper medical care. There should also be an effort to counsel young women on other options that they have that does not involve abortion.

Truthfully I picked two random numbers. And also, I said after 2 kids. In reality it would be more like 35k single 50 family.

If you make 50k a year can you afford to have 4 kids? No. But 2? Absolutely.

People have more kids than they can afford. And it's determintal to everyone.

Once they reach 2 kids if they're on welfare for an extended period.

I'm more talking about people on welfare rather than your college grad or fresh out of high school kid getting on his feet.

Like I said earlier. You're thinking that I said sterilize everyone under x amount. Which isn't what I said. Go back and reread. If youre on welfare and make minimum wage (for an extended time, not oh I got laid off at the plant and need a little help) and you have 2 kids, you have proven that you are a net negative on society and should have your ability to produce children taken from you.

If those who get sterilized get their shite together in 5 years and want kids, there are a plethora of children in the world to adopt. Pick one.

Got you. As an American I have an inherent bias against things as draconian as forced sterilization but I think you're on the good side of sane.

Yeah, I went back and reread and I could see why it was confusing. Definitely not my best Sentence structure.

But sterilizing trailer park tammie who works at burger King and lives on welfare after her second child is something that will help poor tammie. And save tax payers a bunch of cash. There is zero need for people who work min wage and rely on govt assistance to have more than two children. End of story. And unfortunately, many many of them do.

Are you talking forced sterilization, or voluntary?

I'd be down with voluntary free sterilization with a bonus $1k to sweeten the pot for trailer Tammie.
