Mickey Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Contraception including natural family planning instruction and fertility treatments are now banned at public health clinics in Missouri. It just promotes promiscuity among the unwashed. Can't have that. "The House voted 96-59 to delete the funding for contraception and infertility treatments after Rep. Susan Phillips told lawmakers that anti-abortion groups such as Missouri Right to Life were opposed to the spending. "If you hand out contraception to single women, we're saying promiscuity is OK as a state, and I am not in support of that," Phillips, R-Kansas City, said in an interview." Missouri The vote wasn't even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaJoe Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 It's the equivalent of banning it for those who otherwise can't afford it. But then the same people will complain about supporting more kids on Welfare when there's more unwanted pregnancies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meazza Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 So these people think that people will stop getting busy if they can't get free access to contraception. Ya that will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 Funny, preventing people from making the responsible choice, contraception & safe sex, is considered by this upside down crew to be promoting personal responsibility. It is a health clinic for people who have no insurance and can't afford medical care. This is a health issue. Banning contraceptives, even instruction on natural family planning from those clinics, has a very real effect. For those of us who live in the real world, this will not result in any less sexual activity. While some of you are pointing fingers or bewailing the lack of personal responsibility in the modern world, the rest of us will be trying to figure out what to do with the unwanted babies and increased spread of disease that will result. Maybe we should shut down drug and alcohol rehab facilities and refuse all health care treatment subsidized in anyway by the government for cancer patients who smoked or anyone whose unhealthy choices contribute to their illnesses.

Don't give me this crap about not being about not being able to afford it, especially in the light of the fact that diseases and children are a HELL of a lot more expensive than $8.99. The responsible choice is to get the protection instead of the six-pack of beer, the cup of coffee each day, the McDonalds run, etc. It is extremely easy to come up with $8.99, even on the tightest of budgets. Again...personal responsibility....get some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you'll send a check to your local Planned Parenthood charity. Won't someone please lobby the government to provide me a new Z06, because I'd be a less of a boon to society if I had one.

Cutting gov't funding = preventing people from making choices? I don't care for the religious right and their involvement in policy annoys the hell out of me. But your choice of words continues to be unfortunate. Nobody has "banned" contraception or is "preventing people from making a choice". No matter how poor or stupid you are you can still go spend a dollar on a rubber if you need one. If you want to start a discussion on the merits (or lack thereof) of this issue, then perhaps you'd be better served to stick to the actual issues instead of going hyperbolic on us. Your melodramatic use of language serves to accomplish nothing more than eliciting emotional responses and undermining what may possibly be a valid point.
