How about this. Free contraception for anyone who wants it but, in exchange, abortions will be for the most part illegal. Seems like a win, win to me. Fifteen year old girls can bang the entire school but in the event they get pregnant, they will have to carry the baby to term. This plan will: 1. Reduce teen pregnancy. 2. Increase adoptions. 3. Dramatically reduce abortions. How can I make money off of this brilliant idea? Start a super PAC? fan27
Actually, these are the outcomes when free contraception, counseling, and family planning are made available. The problems arise when we force women to have children they don't want. As for making abortions illegal, that's a separate issue. In our country, though, it can't be discussed without the intrusion of religion and misogyny. If those elements could somehow be set aside, then perhaps rational solutions could be found. But given the attitudes of both Christians and Muslims on this, such solutions are not likely to be coming any time soon. So, it's back to the hangers, gals.
One again you show you know little about high poverty kids ... they often don't use any for of birth control even if available. Thugs don't buy/use condoms. Then they run away when they get a girl pregnant.
If this were usefully accurate how come planned parenthood has killed the large part of 22 million black babies? They give planning and counseling.... and contraception is widely available and sometimes free, yet 22 million black babies have been killed. How do you know that the the abortion option does help create more irresponsible or risky behavior?
A new internal Republican report confirmed that women are not fans of the GOP, and Republicans have more work to do if they want the female vote. The report, which was obtained by Politico, found that although Republicans have tried to improve outreach to female voters, women still believe the party is "stuck in the past" and "intolerant." Forty-nine percent of women polled for the report looked on the GOP unfavorably. Only 39 percent felt that way about the Democratic Party. The study was commissioned by two conservative groups: Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS and the American Action Network. It offered a stark picture of how women view the Republican Party as a whole. Women are "barely receptive" to the party's policy proposals, the report said, in part because Republicans "fail to speak to women in the different circumstances in which they live." The report drew its conclusions from focus group discussions and a poll of 800 registered women voters. In top issue areas, such as health care, the economy and education, the poll found that Democrats held a huge advantage. For example, when considering which side "wants to make health care more affordable," the women surveyed chose the Democratic Party by a 39 percent margin. They also said that a policy of equal pay for equal work would "help women the most." To make electoral gains in 2014 and 2016, the report suggested that the GOP soften its opposition to legislation supporting pay equity. The party should also tackle economic issues like gender bias in the workplace, the report said. Given that abortion can be a wedge issue among women, the report recommended that the party "deal honestly with any disagreement on abortion, then move to other issues." The GOP has tried to make women a priority since 2012, when female voters chosePresident Barack Obama over Mitt Romney 56 percent to 44 percent. Republicans created political action committees dedicated to female voters and female candidates. However, they have not found an effective way to engage women on equal pay issues. Marina Fang
If you're a "right to life" believer, you likely find this disturbing or even abhorrent. On the other hand... that's 22 million NOT on the welfare roles for society to provide for... and likely for all/most of their entire lives.
