Are "Poor" Women too stupid to avoid getting pregnant?

[DGS49]

ALL of the current hissy-fits about RvW PRESUME that women can get pregnant, (a) by accident, (b) without their knowledge, and/or (c) without their consent. And while one can imagine bizarre examples of these three phenomena, they are extremely rare.

They also ignore the moral/ethical aspect of abortion, to wit, it is possibly the taking of an innocent human life (after viability, remove the word, "possibly").

And yet, our kids who are lucky enough to attend American public schools learn about contraception in Kindergarten, and if not then, certainly before they are capable of getting pregnant.

Must one count the ways?

Refrain from reproductive activity (which has the added benefit of being without cost),
Take The Pill,
Use a mechanical obstructor.

As a final thought, what is the point of Planned Parenthood now? Women's reproductive health? What is that if not getting fixed when you want it?

Disturbing statistic: Black women, who comprise less than 7% of the population, are the recipients of more than 40% of the abortions. Is that simply a function of poverty, or are other factors involved? Inquiring minds want to know.

Stupid people tend to make poor choices.

That is why the poor tend to be stupid.

How about you solve other problems that do not involve you deciding for someone else what they could do?

A lot of women like having abortions. Mrs. Garrison on South Park was disappointed when she was told she couldn't have one.

It is science, of 50 years ago the Democrats want to follow.

The party of science, what a joke.

When it comes to a living human being the only science the democrats can see is from another century!

Gee it may have something to do with poor women not being able to afford to go to doctors to get birth control.

Since when do you need to go to a doctor to get birth control?

Rubbers are available in the vending machine in the restroom of any reputable Texaco station.

Of course, Planned Parenthood would never give their customers birth control, they are just a lot more interested in selling their most expensive service, Partial Birth Abortion.

Planned Parenthood also provides breast exams, pap testing and contraceptives.

When was the last you had an Ob/Gyn exam? It's very expensive. PP does prescribe contraception.

Once your Gods stops killing I agree we should also.

Actually, no.

You are pretty dumb, if you do not understand, what the point of reproduction is, in the first place.

I have studied anthropology and biology, and have done so in humans. . . there is actually a logic as to why poor folks tend to have more children.

It goes far back, it is a type of old age insurance, and it is a genetic insurance.

See the point of reproduction, is an evolutionary strategy. . . to make sure ones lineage survives to the next generation to reproduce. Humans have traditionally had two ways to go about this. First, put as much energy and resource to make their offspring competitive, and successful, so they will be able to reproduce themselves. Or second, the shot-gun strategy, to just have as many off-spring as possible, get them to their teens, (or even, at the very least, so they can survive,) and hope for the best.

Poor folks usually opt for option two. If you understand how genetics work, the genes of brilliance, a spark of genius intelligence, or terrific creativity, or world class athletics, or a drive for entrepreneurship, etc., statistically, if you have enough children, some kids may, eventually be born, to make sure that they will climb and claw their way out of poverty, and not only pass their genes on, but may also take care of you in your old age. This is, uh. . . how most rural and farming families used to do things. Added to that, they had free labor to work the farm and contribute to the collective wealth of the family.


The middle class and wealthy take a different view, of course. And they don't particularly like the lower-class breeding strategy, because in industrial societies, a lot of times, they end up subsidizing this strategy. They have very few children, and invest a lot of time and resources into those few children. If those few children end up with a chronic disease, mental illness, a disability, chronic behavior problems, LGBT, etc. They won't have any offspring in the next generation.

Maybe the poor are being more responsible and not having children they can’t support
Just like Conservatives tell them

Are Republicans going to fund the care of additional children born to poor women?

Should we punish women who are careless about contraception? Force them into 20 years of motherhood?

Stupid people tend to make poor choices.

Will they smarten up when they need to go to the inconvenience and monetary cost of crossing state lines when it's time to kill a baby?

And for crying out loud, birth control is free for the poor!

They do "celebrate" their abortions.

Condoms are notoriously the least effective birth control.

And you do realize that not everyone can get to a PP clinic right?

The most effective mode of birth control is abstinence you know.

Unfortunately, Liberal Politicians have largely outlawed teaching it in the government schools.

The fact that the abstinence technique is very economical and doesn't cost a dime eliminates the economic motivation for teaching it.
