Why Does the Government Think We Should Pay For Others to Have Sex?

Small price to pay IFF it reduces teen pregnancy (or pregnancy for anybody who can't afford a baby). Originally Posted by essence

Irish playright, George Bernard Shaw was a devout socialist who believed that those who couldn't contribute to society should be exterminated; he called them "useless eaters." He was a big fan of Adolph Hitler. You liberals certainly are compassionate.

I hope the libs watch that video, Joe. But they won't. Very eye-opening.

Possibly the worst thing about socialism is it's inefficiency. Socialist economies don't produce enough goods and services to allow for a quality standard of living.

Because socialist economies are inefficient, sooner or later, they spiral downward into a kind of triage situation. Rationing healthcare becomes inevitable. After all, when there's not enough to go around, why waste hundreds of thousands on grandma to buy a few extra months.

By the same principle, why waste a fortune on a sickly babies that will probably never have a "productive life." Legalized infanticide is obviously where we're headed. I'm sure the left will call it a woman's right to choose and claim it's protected by the so called right to privacy.

"Fuck that noise," is correct. Why must the taxpayer "cover" their habit? You don't propose to have tax payers buy motorcycle helmets for motorcyclists, yet many think wearing a helmet is the "responsible" thing to do. Why? In fact, many states have made it a criminal offense not to wear a helmet -- so much for people "getting into your business" (and let's not even begin to talk about gun control).
Bad comparison.Unwanted pregnancies are not like ANY other social ill. None of the others create another unwanted human being that will be a ward of the state for 18 years. Most importantly, the kid is harmed, too.
If a biker doesn't war a helmet, he only fucks himself up. He doesn't create another human that will also cost us money and may become a criminal.

Neither of you have explained why individuals engaging in this elective activity cannot pay for condoms themselves. Condoms are relatively inexpensive.

I don't have to explain it because I don't advocate that. I also don't think that the health care plans are paying for them. The discussion relates to birth control pills, IUDs, abortion pills, etc. Thinks you need a doctor for. You don't need healthcare to pay for condoms. Schools give them away free. I'm in favor of that. Originally Posted by I B Hankering

It costs the government practically nothing and it saves a HUGE amount of money down the road by avoiding OB/GYN costs, free public schooling, food stamps, and too often, incarceration.

Assuming you are paying for healthcare costs, prisons, and schools, why do you NOT want to minimize those costs? That is the real question.

Your arguments are an excellent example of making the perfect the enemy of the good. You imagine a perfect world in which everyone is forced to act responsibily by NOT being bailed out by government all the time. And so you stand on absolutist principles and demand that not a penny be spent on birth control. As a result, we instead spend BILLIONS on jails, drug rehab, maternity care, public schools.

Well, we can't afford your absolutist principles We need to exercise common sense and distinguish between a 17 year old who is having sex and a 65 year old that spent his life not working particularly hard and not saving at all.

I'm not willing to bail out the older guy by giving in to bleeding heart demands for greater social security spending. Let him serve as a bad example to other.

I AM willing to put the 17 year old on the pill. Because if I do not, she and her illegitimate offspring will cost me a LOT more money in the long run.

You silly Tea Wacks are even aganist that!btw, who gives a shit about Shaw.

As for Death Panels...the reality is that folks die, it is crazy for a nation with money troubles to be throwing money at a person who will live on average three more months.

If we had reasoned discussions on this matter, I think even old folks would see the logic, their family damn sure sees it when it is their money being spent on granny and not the governments. Let them mortage their house and put off sending their children to college to pay for granny getting another three months.

You want to have a reasoned debate , bring it on. You want to act like Sara Palin, just turn around and quit while you're behind.

Bad comparison. There’s no “comparing” about it: government coercion is government coercion.

Unwanted kids are not like ANY other social harm. None of the others create another human being that will be a ward of the state for 18 years. Most importantly, the kid is harmed, too. A solution was already proffered: at birth, put the child up for adoption to responsible parents.

The discussion relates to birth control pills, IUDs, abortion pills, etc. Thinks you need a doctor for. You don't need healthcare to pay for condoms. Schools give them away free. These items are not “free”! The cost is being foisted onto others.

It costs the government practically nothing and it saves a HUGE amount of money down the road by avoiding OB/GYN costs, free public schooling, food stamps, and too often, incarceration. “A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon, you're talking real money!”

Assuming you are paying for healthcare costs, prisons, and schools, why do you NOT want to minimize those costs? That is the real question. For the same reason you don’t want to pay for a motorcyclist’s helmet – it’s an unfair imposition on society as a whole for an elective activity for an irresponsible few. Society has no problem locking up irresponsible individuals such as alcoholics and drug addicts, but libertards continue to expand “enabling” measures for the sexually irresponsible. Abstinence continues to be a viable choice.

Your arguments are an excellent example of making the perfect the enemy of the good.

And so you stand on absolutist principles and demand that not a penny be spent on birth control. As a result, we instead spend BILLIONS on jails, drug rehab, maternity care, public schools. That is the byproduct of a society that is pandering to its irresponsible wherein individuals are not held accountable for their own actions. Just an FYI, an effective education is an investment, not an expense.

I AM willing to put the 17 year old on the pill. Because if I do not, she and her illegitimate offspring will cost me a LOT more money in the long run. The pill cost approximately $16 per month – the cost of a movie with popcorn. If the individual cannot afford that, that individual cannot afford a child. The recourse then is abstinence, and abstinence always remains a valid choice. Engaging in sex is an elective activity, not required. Originally Posted by ExNYer

While I may agree with your analysis, that does not change the reality.

You are wanting to ride a horse down the freeway just because that is how they used to get to work. That reality is no more!

Like it or not, we have this fuc'd up society and giving out free birth control is the most practical way to prevent more abortions and unwanted preggo's!

You are mixing up two different points , reality and utopia.

Thanks for confirming my point that socialized medicine always rations healthcare. I don't want the government making life and death decisions about who gets healthcare and who doesn't; they've got too much power already.

ThesaurusLegend: Synonyms Related Words Antonyms
Noun1.abortifacient - a drug (or other chemical agent) that causes abortion aborticide, abortion-inducing drug
abortion pill, mifepristone, RU 486 - an abortion-inducing drug (trade name RU_486) developed in France; when taken during the first five weeks of pregnancy it blocks the action of progesterone so that the uterus sloughs off the embryo

drug - a substance that is used as a medicine or narcotic
Adj.1.abortifacient - causing abortion causative - producing an effect; "poverty as a causative factor in crime"

Sexual freedom (and freedom in general) is something we like to have, but it doesn't come without its own set of issues.

Also, it's not like young people weren't exploring and having sex in the old days either not even mentioning the general views of society (even today) of how men are viewed vs how women are viewed.
