The high cost of unintended pregnancy

[Mr. Shaman]

Is this why democrats are pushing for birth control and abortions?

"Seventy-two percent of black babies are born to unmarried mothers today, according to government statistics."


Blacks struggle with 72 percent unwed mothers rate - Health - Women's health - msnbc.com

Everyone's entitled to their own Choices.

It's called Freedom.​

 

[chanel]

Yes but the Hatch Act says that others don't have to pay for those choices.

 

[Gagafritz]

Well, if you want to kill your own offspring , have at it.

It's called Choice.....and, really none o' your fuckin' business, when it's someone else's Choice.​

Again, if you CHOOSE to abort your own offspring, maybe that is form of Natural Selection.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Margaret Sanger was a well know racist.

.....And, that was her Choice.....but, I don't remember hearing about her donning a robe & hood, and lynching anyone....like a good Christian.​

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Yes but the Hatch Act says that others don't have to pay for those choices.

.....While others don't mind.

What's your point....that it's primarily an economic-issue, for you "moralists"?​

 

[Gagafritz]

Her goal was to reduce the African American population.

Hell....you can call it whatever-you-want, if that's important to you.​

Abort away while we repopulate the earth! lol

The public cost of unintended pregnancy is estimated to be about 11 billion dollars per year in short term medical costs.[11] This includes costs of births, one year of infant medical care and costs of fetal loss.[11] Preventing unintended pregnancy would save the public over 5 billion dollars per year in short term medical costs.[11] Savings in long term costs and in other areas would be much larger.[11] By another estimate, the direct medical costs of unintended pregnancies, not including infant medical care, was $5 billion in 2002.[27]

Of the 800,000 teen pregnancies per year,[28] over 80% were unintended in 2001.[1] One-third of teen pregnancies result in abortion.[28] In 2002, about 9% of women at risk for unintended pregnancy were teenagers,[20] but about 20% of the unintended pregnancies in the United States are to teenagers.[29] A somewhat larger proportion of unintended births are reported as mistimed, rather than unwanted, for teens compared to women in general (79% mistimed for teens vs. 69% among all women in 1998).[30]

In the US it is estimated that 52% of unintended pregnancies result from couples not using contraception in the month the woman got pregnant, and 43% result from inconsistent or incorrect contraceptive use; only 5% result from contraceptive failure, according to a report from the Guttmacher Institute.[1] Contraceptive use saved an estimated $19 billion in direct medical costs from unintended pregnancies in 2002.[27]

In 2006, publicly funded family planning services (Title X, medicaid, and state funds) helped women avoid 1.94 million unintended pregnancies, thus preventing about 860,000 unintended births and 810,000 abortions.[31] Without publicly funded family planning services, the number of unintended pregnancies and abortions in the United States would be nearly two-thirds higher among women overall and among teens; the number of unintended pregnancies among poor women would nearly double[31] The services provided at publicly funded clinics saved the federal and state governments an estimated $5.1 billion in 2008 in short term medical costs.[31] Nationally, every $1.00 invested in helping women avoid unintended pregnancy saved $3.74 in Medicaid expenditures that otherwise would have been needed.[31]

Reducing unintended pregnancy in the United States would be particularly desirable since abortion is such a politically divisive issue.[3]

Rape

A longitudinal study in 1996 of over 4000 women in the United States followed for 3 years found that the rape-related pregnancy rate was 5.0% among victims aged 12–45 years. Applying that rate to rapes committed in the United States would indicate that there are over 32,000 pregnancies in the United States as a result of rape each year.[32]

So we should kill people to save money??

Yeah, that's what Stalin did....... It's called a "cull."

Once again Chris you philosophize like a totalitarian socialist lunatic...

You may as well assert next that "abortions give me more benefits."

Ironically progressive support the racist Nazi while calling others Nazi's..

Only in "progressiveland" would an alleged "liberal" back a eugenics program.

Then buy some fucking condoms and stop reproducing... what is wrong with you libs? You have zero self control and you always want somebody else to foot the bill for your fuck ups.

Geesh.

Are you actually trying to say that conservatives don't get abortions?

And that conservatives always practice self control?

Because if you are I can see this thread really getting exciting.

Certainly not,but wholesale disregard for responsibility isn't the way ether.

Just because Bobby does it,doesn't get Jimmy off the hook for the same thing.

Birth control is cheap and effortless to get,ya just gotta do it when the time demands you do,its a choice nothing more or less.

Try, again.

It's you folks who've laid claim to.....

.....Ayn Rand.

 

[g5000]

Well, if you can post coffins, then i guess i can post the reality of pictures of aborted fetuses and babies? Yes?

You mean the ones you Jesus freaks keep.....forgetting to adopt??!!!

So many assumptions.

I am pro-life, and I am not a Jesus freak.

I don't know how you pro-choicers ever came to believe there aren't enough people who want to adopt. The waiting list for adopting a baby is years long. There is no shortage of people who will adopt.

Putting your nonsense in big fonts and multiple colors does not help your credibility, either.

Another day o' whuppin' "conservative"-ass & stackin' 'em like cordwood.....​

Everyone's entitled to their own Choices.

It's called Freedom.

No one is allowed to kill whomever they like. It's called Murder.

.....While others don't mind.

What's your point....that it's primarily an economic-issue, for you "moralists"?​

It's about not being forced to pay for what one considers to be murder.

Are you really this stupid?

No wonder you don't realize you are getting your face ripped off in this topic. I guess that's why you need to make REALLY big posts. To cover up your ineptitude.

When it comes to debate, size does not matter, my friend.

Pretty soon the government will be mandating how many kids Americans can have just like China.

Id like to see them try to stop me.

They would do it the same way China does - by punishing the child. You have an unauthorized child in China and the parents have condemned that child to a life of utter misery with zero rights as well as a permanent ban from all government benefits. That child will not be educated, banned from employment, banned from ever receiving medical care, no right to EAT - -nothing. Not even a right to escape and live somewhere else. That is how the oh-so-caring left handles it. Just makes you all warm and tingly about how much government under leftwing extremists always turns out to be, doesn't it? Which is why they inevitably have to prevent their own citizens from fleeing the hellholes they create and keep their government owned slaves trapped inside.
