Come on now. I'm not raging against abortions, but be truthful. Most are done simply because someone couldn't be bothered to take birth control.
Could the "someone" be a member of either sex or are you strictly speaking of women?
If Texas, North Carolina, Kansas and a few other states have their way, women won't even be able to GET birth control much less take it, thanks to the stupid, illiterate and unforgiving ignorance of the far right.
Please provide verification that those states seek to prevent women from obtaining birth control.
Pssst...choosing not to pay for it, and actually PREVENTING them from getting it are two different things.
Look it up yourself, I have already posted about these states creating artificial and unnecessary "surgical standards" so abortion clinics will have to close. Pssst.....These clinics provided birth control, not just abortions.
And you're paying for these whether you like it or not, and as Lud said, since Roe v. Wade.
So your choices are to continue on or put up the tax money now to raise unwanted children to the age of 18.
Those aren't REALLY the only two options. They are merely the only two options YOU want to consider.
List the other options then, for a couple or a single woman who cannot afford to be a parent.
She/they will have to go on welfare in order to support the child if:
a) Family or friends won't pay
2) Robbing banks is not an option
It comes down to money, genius. And someone has to cough it up.
personal privacy from government intrusion is supposed to be a conservative ideal...
if only the fundamentalist finger waggers could stop with the self righteous emotionalism already...[/QUOTE]Liberals are incapable of understanding such complex matters. Conservatives oppose any public funding of it and want some restrictions, like waiting periods and education, since many are too dumbed down to realize the baby has arms, legs, ears, etc. Some want it outlawed totally but those are the vast minority and it does involve another human life, not just the mother. I know you can't grasp all that but it's why you believe what you do.

In a 7-2 decision written by Justice Harry Blackmun (who was chosen because of his prior experience as counsel to the Mayo Clinic), the Court ruled that the Texas statute violated Jane Roe's constitutional right to privacy. The Court argued that the Constitution's First, Fourth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual's "zone of privacy" against state laws...

Here's the problem: when the government pays for it, Private Lives become Public Policy.
I'd prefer to see the government stay Out of Our Wallets as wells Our Bedrooms and Doctors' Offices & Hopspitals.

It's not personal when someone else is paying for it.
Then what's you plan to end the practice that conforms with privacy rights jurisprudence.The whole "we need abortion because otherwise there will be more unwanted children" doesn't fly, it never has. There are more children burdening the system now than there EVER were before abortion became legal.
