There have been something like 300 bills against family planning, abortion and birth control by republicans since 2010, it is a fact.

If the Republicans really wanted to stop abortions they would be in favor of sex education and against abstinence only education and they would definitely be in favor of birth control. Want to limit the amount of abortions and the growth in the population? Want to limit sexual violence and rape? Make birth control, sexual education, and porn, readily available to everyone. A world of sexually responsible humans who know the consequences of their actions must be a nightmare world for the republicans because they're doing all they can to fight against it.

Do people not want LESS government in their lives????
I do! I don't support the government being involved in "family planning". Why would you? Why do you want the government having any say in what you CHOSE to do with a consenting adult?
If people don't want kids, either refrain from sex or go to walmart and buy some dang condoms.
Why should the government be paying for anti-baby protection??
How about this for a concept: PERSONAL RESPONSIBLITY.
And if people can afford to buy McDonald's or cigarettes or whatever....they can buy birth control: condoms.
Im sick of the excuse that people cant afford birth control and are completely unable to refrain from having sex...so the govt (IE tax payers) need to pick up the bill. That is BULLCRAP!!
As far as women who do need hormone therapy (IE birth control) for reasons other than not getting pregnant, that is a whole different topic....
As far as schools go....I just see that is an entirely different topic to rant about.....loledit on March 31st 2012 by greeneyedleo because: (no reason given)

As we all have seen recently, the GOP is going on a rampage against abortion and family planning, including birth control (Rick Santorum even said contraception is unnatural). This is on top of their endless attacks on teachers and the department of education, and school lunches for poor children. Well, I found an article that correlates all of these factors together as being critical for prosperity.
I have believed for a long time that the elites of this country want to bankrupt us so they can enslave us, and I think this article bolsters my case that the underlying target of all these policies is not religion, but economic warfare. They emphasize the importance of female education to a society's prosperity- well it's pretty hard to educate young women when they get pregnant as teenagers because they can't have contraception or abortion.
Education Leads to Lower Fertility and Increased Prosperity
