DRUDGE FLASH 2009®: PELOSI SAYS BIRTH CONTROL WILL HELP ECONOMYSTEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?
PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that?
PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy.

Right, so let me get this straight, children are a burden on society, so we should limit children to help the country out.
Isn't that a Mao line of thought? What next? Mandatory abortions and euthanasia to any kid born or found in the womb to be mentally deficient/retarded or otherwise a "financial burden"?
Maybe we should limit couples to 1 child, think of the dough we'll save!
Yes because Birth Control = Abortion :roll:
Gimme a break, can the crazy righties please go back in the closet.

I hear Obama is going to have mandatory abortions for all children under five. A five year moratorium on toddlers I think he's calling it. Those damn libruls, huh?
I hear some people lack the sarcasm gene and will be the first put down too.
I didn't say Birth Control = abortion, learn to read.
Not quite. It is children that grown up to be thick like Pelosi that are a burden on society.DRUDGE FLASH 2009®: PELOSI SAYS BIRTH CONTROL WILL HELP ECONOMY

How about personal responsibility and stopping government handouts for baby production?Quote marduc:Birth control would help the economy. Contraception to those who would not have it otherwise makes sense. Pardon the generalization, but it does always seem that it is those that are least able to afford it are the ones who pop out baby after baby, or have those unwanted pregnancies, and these are the ones that would benefit from these programs.

FYI: Actually, this is NOT a Mao line of thought. Mao wanted women to have as many babies as possible, awarding women with large numbers of babies with awards. This is one of the reasons China has a massive overpopulation problem today.
I consider adding "Family Planning" to the economic stimulus package on the grounds it will "Help the economy" to be rather a bit dishonest and absurd.
So I tried to make that point by going a bit absurd myself.
Is there anybody left in America who can't afford a pack of 3 anymore? They're like $6 for a generic brand....I don't see why money needs to be thrown at it. What forms of 'birth control' Is she talking about? Condoms are like a buck each and I know for fact in Compton alone there are AT LEAST 40 places that will give em to you for free. So as much as I'd like to I simply don't see the sense in this. I mean....yeah birth control. Woohoo. But the most basic form of birth control is so cheap nowadays it doesn't even make sense for the government to put money into the matter anymore.
Twas part of the fun my dear.

So if you're against the government funding birth control, then you must support one of the following: A) Having the state dole out endless welfare for single mothers with ten children, or B) Allow those children to die in poverty for the horrible crime of popping out of the wrong vagina. Which is it? A or B?
Promoting birth control is very practical. One of the biggest sources of poverty (aside from substance abuse) is having too many kids at too young an age.
