    This should make angry all conservative, mainly the social conservative. Yes free Birth Control access has a positive effect in the reduction of the abortions, like it or not. And the fact is that the less conservative states have less abortions than the more conservative states. And how easier access to the birth control methods less necessity of the use of the abortion.

    But no, social conservatives want to make harder the access to birth control, increasing the risk of unwanted pregnancy and in consequence abortions. The reality is cruel against neoconservative and their bad ideas for the society.

    NOT true!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    most artif birth c methods CAUSE abortion

    the Pill

    the IUD (if they are still using that??? they shouldn't be since it causes health problems)

    and other methods

    and condoms are defective a lot of the time, have small holes in them

    and break

    and besides all that artif birth control is immoral

    God did not make pleasure and procreation to be separated by an artificial barrier

    No one wants to restrict access to birth control. They just don't think it should be "free" because in reality it's not "free". Someone has got to pay for it. I'm not speaking for all conservatives but I believe that most think the people using the birth control should be paying for it and not "society", the taxpayers, the employers, the 1% or whoever liberals think should pay for it.

    Besides, I thought abortion was already supposed for be safe and "rare". That's what we were told anyway.

    More birth control, condoms and morning after pills. Then more screening of adopting parents. Then get rid of abortion.

    I'll say it again, if you really want to lower the amount of unwanted pregnancies, stop being a slut. Stop teaching your daughters to be sluts. Stop teaching your sons to have no respect for women. Stop having sex with people you hardly know. Stop going to orgies. Have some self respect and use some self restraint.

    It should be the parents but sadly for low income people it will be the taxpayers, just like it is now.

    Personal attack aside, he does have a point. Are you not supposed to be responsible for the children you give birth to/father?

    Would you rather have the fetus aborted or raised on the public dole? Bristol Palin has already shown that abstinence doesn't work.

    yep and 2\3 of all abortions are by Christians... amazingly enough

    some think just have the baby and it will all work out, not always, look at Andrea Yates, she should never be allowed to have more children

    if Andrea had been on birth control or aborted the last child, 4 children might be alive today

    you mean the ones pro-lifers want to force them to have... if they wanted a abortion, obviously they were not ready or willing to have another child at their point in their life

    I know lots of poor people making around $12 and hour who manage to raise more than one kid just fine without public assistance. It's called having two jobs and not having amenities like cable or Air Jordans. When you have kids you have to make sacrifices the problem is that some people are to selfish/lazy and don't want to give up stuff so they go on public assistance.

    And if you try and bring up the lame minimum wage argument I have zero sympathy for anyone still making minumum wage who isn't either a high school or college student or is a part time retired worker.

    Even if it is more expensive to have the kids taken care of it is the ethical thing to do. Seriously, by your insanely stupid logic we should just kill all of our prisoners because a bullet to the head would be alot cheaper than paying for their room and board.

    1) Anecdotes are not evidence. Try again.

    2) It doesn't surprise me that you're pathetic enough to have no sympathy for the children of people making minimum wage

    3) Fetuses aren't human beings. Even the bible says so. Check out Exodus 21.
