Pelosi says birth control will help economy

Birth control in third world countries isn't eugenics.

I don't think that means what you think it means.

This URL: Fewer teens are giving birth, but cost to taxpayers still steep - USATODAY.com

This link shows the cost of care by the government for children of teenage mothers. It has a bunch of figures in it that make for an interesting read. It's a few years old, but near enough to still be relevant.

Consider that it states, of the 9.1 billion, 8.6 billion was on mothers 17 or younger. That's 94.5% of the total cost.

Most of the people who have trouble getting condoms are young. They may not know where to look, or who it's ok to ask, and may be embarrassed by a need to ask. Those same people are the ones who tend to not use them.

Also, there's the "get it 'cause it's free" thing. It may be out of your way, or the money not in hand, or whatever, to get a pack of condoms, but if there's a bowl sitting in the school clinic, filled to the brim with condoms with a sign saying, "Take some for free and be safe!" it's easy to just grab a few, and keep them on hand. What do you know, it turned out handy in my case.

Plus, a lot of these kids can't drive. And, they're often shy about talking to their parents, and may have super anti-sex parents who wouldn't give them condoms, anyway, simply insisting on abstinence, which has shown to be ineffective. Such kids have virtually no access to condoms at all.

I didn't, when I was 17. I'd wanted to have sex, but had no clue how to get a condom. I was raised in a super Christian home (at least as far as sex was concerned), where abstinence was expected. Sure, I knew what condoms were and how to use them (more or less), but I had no means of getting them. No car, no money, nadda. If they'd had em at school, it'd have been great. Instead, he just pulled out before cumming... at least we were Slightly careful, in that sense, but I still got lucky.

I think it'd be a good thing, because it can contribute to the economy (long term) as well as improving the quality of life of thousands of people... both the too-young parents, and the children they raise in poverty. I can imagine that it'd help with low income people, as well. Sometimes it's hard to shell out $15-20 a month on condoms, when they feel kind of optional. But if you can get them for free, then it's easier to accept.

This is ONE time I agree with Pelosi. Just look at the recent 8-births to a woman now making her have 14 children. And word is she is on public assistance!

Well put and nicely stated!

Seriously... fuck it all.

Adequate birth control is available for free. I used to deliver the mail to the local welfare office. They had signs posted in several languages telling people it was available for free.
The thing that would have helped is if you could only get welfare for the children you had when you first applied. That would have set a cap on benefits right there. It would have given people an incentive to try and change their situation. As bad as the economy is at the moment, more and more people will be going onto welfare. They simply will not have a choice.
I say bring back the WPA. It will provide jobs, and people will be working for their welfare. In the 80's it was done in Massachusetts. I remember a carpenter being interviewed while he worked at a zoo. He said it made him feel better because he was working for what he got. The workers could pick up the slack for what the states and local governments have had to cut.
I still remember when Joycelyn Elders was defended by Bill Clinton for her stance on abortion but fired when she promoted masturbation teaching to youths. Such a huge crock. He used it as an out to get rid of her because she had become a liability. Wouldn't it make more sense to wank and not make a baby or get a disease?

"aides to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that, although Pelosi had known Reid was planning the announcement, the two were meeting again to iron out differences over a provision on education spending."

What good Democrats?

LoL!!! Give me a break.

It's just so hilarious how all wingnut propaganda attempts sound the same. They always start with "regardless of what you think about..." and then appeal to democrats with "poor good democrats associated with this"

Of course, the name "pelosi" is like a cross to a vampire to you guys. LoL!! You guys just go into coniptions. The pathetic part is, you think bashing Pelosi is effective. It's so pathetic.

Ruptura en mí. Ya no importa nada ha sido así.

So, how are people supposed to learn how to manage money and run a business? Maybe if the so-called bank CEOs with their college degrees actually learned something about the dollar and the economy instead of how to lie, cheat & steal to get rich, we wouldn't be in this financial mess.

Education. Ummmmm, yeah. It's needed. Badly!

Seriously... fuck it all.

I have news for ya, I know some preachers that say it's the only moral alternative for single peeps in their church. Not everybody thinks it's wrong these days. Personally, I don't see what the big deal is about masturbation. A whole lot of married men do it. You know good and well preachers do it. It will help keep you out of trouble, sane, and help keep you from being pissy all the time.

I feel personally that anyone who is under 21 and not married and gets pregnant should not get any assistance with child rearing such as wick or govt handout. They choose to have children or to engage in sex knowing that the possiblity of preg is out there and let them take care of the baby along with the father....

Tired of seeing and reading of under 21 children having babies and they cannot afford them and living off of the system.

Eh, I agree that something needs to be done about teen pregnancy, but getting rid of wick or government aid is just going to equal dead babies. Something needs to be done upstream of the pregnancy, not after the baby is born.

Oh, and remember that unmarried lady that had the octuplets last week? She's got disability checks rolling in for her autistic son and two other children with problems in addition to food stamps. That kind of abuse is pathetic.

Someone should have done something to prevent her from being able to have 8 embryos implanted in her womb in the first place. God forbid there be some kind of oversight for such things.

I don't think that means what you think it means.

Don't you know you're supposed to sprinkle trillions at the top for the people who least need it and watch it trickle down to the people who need it most? Duhhh we've known that works since Reagan (please bow your head when I mention his name).

That is by a WIDE margin the most, and really first inteligent thing that woman has said since taking office, really probably before taking office if ever.
