Then they - write it off - so, it's not really giving is it.
taxation should never be forced....because when it is and used for things like redistribution...its wrong.
when taxation is by commerce only, then taxes are not forced, and money can be used for redistribution.
the military is power of the u.s. federal government.
noble things are subjective...
:rofl: so basically you will be voting democrat in 2016, Rand Paul wont win the GOP primary for the same reason that you would vote for him he doesnt line up with enough of the average GOP voter beliefs
Yeah, mental health. Maybe we should stop enabling them?
do you believe that taking away free birth control will lead to increased responsibility or better outcomes for society?
do you believe that taking away free birth control will save the taxpayers money in the long-run?
You do realize we're not talking about condoms here. In fact, what we're most likely talking about is a test and marketing run sponsored by one of those evil Big Pharma corps you detest.
Republicans kill successful birth-control program in Colorado | Denver Sun Times
Republicans in the Colorado Senate killed an effort this week to set aside funding for a birth control program that provides IUDs to low-income women. The Colorado Family Planning Initiative has been praised for contributing to a 40 percent drop in teen births over the last five years. The program, previously funded by a private donor, won an award in Washington, D.C. just days ago.
I don't detest Big Pharma. I detest deregulation. But that's another subject. I'll gladly see my tax dollars go toward any form of contraception as unwanted pregnancy prevention and continue to protest paying for the gratuitous wars that you boys cream yourselves over.
I didn't know that you could "write off" donations at 100%. Or maybe the majority just plain comes out of their pockets.
You write off percentages, and the government pays you based on those percentages. So there's a public subsidy that the government could save a lot of money on.
Oh now you don't. Good, I'll remember that.
So, sterilization is a form of contraception. It's very effective and drops those pregnancy rates right on down to the basement. Funny, it's also one of the downsides to issuing IUDs to teens who have a greater chance of contracting STDs. STD plus IUD equals sterility. You support this contraception option?
When I was a youngster both my girlfriend and latter my wife successfully used IUD's. Immunisations are accompanied with risks, but I support them as well. And I do not have issues with big Pharma if my government installs consumer protection laws that defend me from predatory practices, see?
Looks like Colorado Republicans want to go with the Crane Public School in West Texas model of “Abstinence-Only” education... you know, the one where there was an eventual outbreak of Chlamydia.
In this case it appears they are looking for a sister idea that will balloon teen pregnancies.
hey now, I answered your question and you haven't answered mine yet. that doesn't seem fair.
do you believe that taking away free birth control will lead to increased responsibility or better outcomes for society?
No way of knowing that one.do you believe that taking away free birth control will save the taxpayers money in the long-run?
Yeah, when I was younger we had a game to see who could hold on to the lit firecracker longest. I never blew MY fingers off. I still didn't let my daughter play that game.
I doubt it, something else would have to be done instead.
No way of knowing that one.
And why cant they find more private donors to expand the program?
So explain to me how an IUD stops Chlamydia...
like what?
well that's why I used the word "believe". I guess this means you think it's a 50/50 chance whether or not it would save money? either way, if we know how much the program cuts down on unwanted teen pregnancies, and if we quantify how much unwanted teen pregnancies cost the taxpayers, then we can absolutely know the answer to that one.
The real question is how to cut down on teen pregnancies and not just give out free birth control (free to them, not to me). I mean, will these people only use BC if it's free? Is it really that expensive? Whatever is done, it should discourage teen pregnancy, not give them free stuff. They should be made to pay for it in some way.
You write off percentages, and the government pays you based on those percentages. So there's a public subsidy that the government could save a lot of money on.
I wouldn't either. Contraception and immunisations are just like firecrackers. :roll:
Because grant money only gets you so far. By your logic we should just expand everything with private grant money, not actual public expenditures. The program was limited, and now they are wanting to make it state wide. You should not, and in this case probably cannot expand this program statewide based solely and relying solely on private grant money. Its unrealistic and just not doable if you want to rely on private grant money to fund a whole statewide program.
You are so wrong on so many levels. Medicaid is taxpayer funded so what's the difference? You want fewer abortions? Provide contraception to those who can't afford it. It's pretty simple really, and MUCH cheaper,than supporting children born to parents who could not afford them.The government shouldn't be paying for a woman's private birth control. If she's poor she can get of medicaid and have the state pay for it via insurance. This whole entitlement to free birth control is wrong. Manage your own reproductive health and foot your own bill. Why waste money here when it can go to managing chronic disease or life threatening health problems?
