PELOSI SAYS BIRTH CONTROL WILL HELP ECONOMY - Drudge
2009-01-26
Why stop at birth control? Killing babies is like drilling in Alaska. We won't see the benefits for years. Lets go for a pandemic. That way we could get rid of all the nasty surplus population quickly. Heck, it might even help the cause of the Single Payer medical system. Win/Win if there ever was one.

#23  Get to the core issue.

She, and other libs, prefer cash over life. Its all there in what she said. We cannot afford... therefore abort (murder) babies to cut costs.

What a vile evil bunch of lefty thugs we now have in power.

They are starting to manufacture McVeighs.

#22  educated folks generally use birth control, uneducated folks don't. This is nothing new.

To have welfare cover for care of the first one or two babies is one thing, but I feel it should be cut off after the second child. I don't have the statistics, but it seems that unwed, uneducated mother's are giving birth to 4, 5 and sometimes 8 kids, all needing assistance. The fathers often are not involved and if they were are on welfare as well.

Adoption is a good option, but I don't see it used very often, even by very young girls that haven't finished school yet. Instead of adopting the child out so they can finish their education, they drop out and our system helps them find housing and pay for their kid for 18 years.
Often having more kids.
Compare this scenario to those that work hard and have to drop their kids off at day care so they can go to work. We're paying for the uneducated to stay home and sit on their butt, and they don't do a very good job at raising their kids often times.

In addition to this, the entitlements that folks are demanding is starting to really get to me. We need to revamp our laws to encourage folks to be productive and contribute to society, not expect something for nothing.

With these recent cutbacks, instead of cutting back some or all of the free stuff we give out to patients, not even talking about how most of the hospital bill is paid in full by you got it our tax dollars, they are cutting back on staff ratios, (nurses getting more patients) This is the front line of patient care. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

Sorry, rant off, Jan

#21  if she seriously thinks abortion is a form of contraception - she's way loonier than I ever thought - the article doesn't exactly say. If she's just saying more people need to use condoms & the pill, instead of just having un-protected sex and having kids that society will eventually pay the bill for etc, I'd agree w/that.

#19  DMFD: Nah, a post-partum abortion will do just fine. Very similar to the partial birth abortions she defends so strenuously, but in her case more cutting and bigger buckets.

#18  She's right! But we also need a time machine, and the original address of Pelosi's parents.

#17  Demographics matter. Pelosi is simply playing to her Reconquista constituents. The Reconquista crowd ignore Planned Parenthood while cheering on liberals and the entitlement crowd as they abort themselves out of California.

#16  To liberals, "Its all about ME!".

#15  I don't think most people wanna think about it in that much detail, ex-lib. My experience is they will shout you down if you even start trying to explain it that way and at that point any further rational discussion is impossible. They really, seriously don't wanna hear it. They just want their choice.

#14  For the liberals, "Family Planning" = "Birth Control" = Abortion. Abortion = dismemberment of the infant while alive through suction or cutting to pieces, burning the skin of the infant while still alive until it dies, then cutting it to pieces, or delivering it live and suctioning it's brains out while it's still alive . . . DEMS = Pro Family Planning = Pro Abortion. Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the country. Follow the money.

#13  AllahHateMe, as a fellow Catholic, I fully agree with the first sentence. The others are subject to discussion.
The Catholic Church has long preached about the evil of abortion, despite what San Fran Nan claims. The teaching is clear and unequivocal: abortion is murder.
It is possible to disagree with some Church teachings and still be considered Catholic. IMHO, abortion is not one of them.

#12  Donks are not only a death cult, but honestly, they practice human sacrifice. They sacrifice the innocent, both through abortion and through failure to punish killers and murderers of all kinds.

What makes it different than simple neglect though is the fact they CELEBRATE this so much. Abortions make them happy. It's a badge of honor to them. I don't really see how it can be considered anything else.

#11  this is a tough choice. more money for welfare babies vs. more stimulus money for bailed out CEO office redecoration?

#9  AllahHateMe, the only thing you can do is teach them right, and make sure they are a damn good shot.

#8  If the Catholic Church had any balls (and I say this as a Catholic) it would Excommunicate her ass. But then again, they just de-ex-communicated an holocaust denying troofer bishop. The Church is becoming a disgrace and is quickly losing all moral authority it may have once held.

As for the comments, who would want to bring a child into this world the democrats are building? I worry about my two sons.

#7  Donks are a death cult. This goes hand in hand with the executive order that Obama signed last week, just days after taking office, to restore federal money to international groups that perform abortions or provide abortion information. That order reverses an order Bush signed when he took office to ban funding these groups. That's just one of the reasons I ended up holding my nose and voting for McCain.

#2  HmmmÂ…and to think Speaker Pelosi once had been described as “the most prominent Catholic serving in the U.S. government”.

It's too late -- the Democrats in Congress were conceived a long time ago.
