If kids practiced abstinence, it would drop by 100%!

They give free birth control pills as well.


So, basically there is ZERO excuse for any woman who can find her way to the health unit to get knocked up. WTF do we have to do, deliver that shite door-to-door?

How is it racist? In virtually every state, birth rates of minorities is significantly higher than birth rates of whites. It's cultural, mainly. It's not racism to state those facts. And Obama carried Colorado because of Hispanics. What was racist about my post?


You tied your opinion solely to the reduction in Hispanic births. What if they went down but teen births spiked amongst other races, say white folk? That you can't see this proves it was unintentional and as usual your just saying stupid shite.

You've done it two posts in a row. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean their opinion is irrelevant.


I've addressed their opinions and made counter points. Are you in the all or nothing camp too or would you support a possible, massive cost saving measure...consider the world we live in, the nature of politics.

The question is applicable to you too. Not an apology, just an acknowledgement that I confused your rabble rabble with mikes.

I'd be fine with it.

We should be flooding the market with contraceptives, especially in poor hoods and schools. I'd even be fine with subsidizing the shot with a $100 monthly check if they attend a scared straight teen mom class, all subsidized. All day.

We have got to stop breeding derelicts.

and I would MUCH rather my taxes go towards sex education in public schools and birth control.

in the southern states, the policies that have been tried over the years have yielded terrible results.

Anything to take teen pregnancy down is welcomed.

Less knocked up people mean less abortions which you'd think would make the religious crowd delirious with joy.

But all they can think about is people banging uglies without consequence.

agreed with all of this. i'm not a liberal by any means, but this one issue, birth control/sex education I feel needs to be state sponsored. as much as that sucks, the parents are NOT doing a good job of being parents.

shite even bill cassidy's 17 year old unwed daughter is pregs...

Imagine the cost savings with free birth control and the general societal improvement with less abortions and less unwanted or ill parented kids growing up into criminality and the same mistakes. It's a good compromise.

needs to be done yesterday. a huge push in public schools providing taxpayer funded birth control.

in the long run, it would help save the country.
