Why do you think it is the taxpayer's responsibility? Where will it end? Is there an end? Do liberals ever take responsibility for their choices or is it the taxpayers who must always foot the bill?Nothing is free. Why don't you liberals get that?It can be argued that all children result from recreational sex. Why should I have to pay for that result by paying to educate your kids when I don't have kids?
The reason is an uneducated population is detrimental to our society, so it's in all our interests to pay for it. Likewise, unwanted pregnancies (whether or not you agree with how they came about) are also detrimental to our society and cost far more then the cost of preventing them.
I think the point is moot. A large percentage of people who get pregnant would forget to the take the pill anyway.
Yet - countries where it is freely available have lower rates of teen pregnancies, unwanted pregnancies and abortions then we do.
Of course nothing is free, why don't you get that we realize that?
Some things are worth paying for. I don't need birth control. I don't have a child to be educated or vaccinated. But I'm not crying about having to pay for it.
I foot the bill for educating other people's kids

Do conservatives ever take responsibility for their choices...?
