Where else in life do you get help for irresponsible behavior ? There are like 17 ways to keep from being pregnant why dont we support that ? No instead Im going to pay for something that is very easy to prevent , no one has ever paid for the mistakes Ive made so really I dont think its my job to pay for theirs. I have no problem helping people who are starving and sick because if we have the means we should , but to say that tax payers here in America should pay for the mistakes of people in other countries is just bogus.

Because the religious right was also against helping these countries with birth control and... can you imagine, safe sex! AIDS is a huge problem in Africa compared to the US. Not even close.

with the catholic church leading the way. don't use birth control, they say, because life is sacred...not the lives already being lived, just the ones to be born. so what if momma and daddy both die of aids, and junior's born with it. at least the parents won't go to hell for using a condom. they'll just live in it for months/years. sounds like a plan.

Its not so much the religious right as it the leaders of religion, Catholics are not allowed to use birth control. I dont really know about Muslims and what the tenents of their faith say about preventing pregnancy.
I just dont think it should be the role of taxpayers in America to pay for abortions in other countries , send them billions of condoms and birth control pills , help educate people as to the things that can happen when you have unprotected sex but to pay for abortions is just a bunch of crapola.
So I guess you could say that I agreed with us not sending money to clinics in other countries that perform abortions , but pretty much the writing is on the wall of how the next 4 years are going to be.

most do anyway.
also, regarding not paying for birth control-perhaps if populations in depressed areas weren't allowed to grow by leaps and bounds, we wouldn't have to send so much food/medical aid? you can educate all you want, but in many parts of the world, people can't afford the basic necessities of life, let alone a condom or birth control pills. but having sex is still free, and certainly enjoyable. abstinence doesn't work in our high schools, you think it'll work in third world countries??

I say massive airdrops of condoms.

Latex, a weapon of mass reproduction destruction.

i think that's a bit extreme. just because i used birth control didn't mean i wanted no kids.
