(24,146 posts)and i wholly agree with your analysis.
five years ago colorado got a private grant to provide free- or low-cost long-term birth control for teens and low-income women and it helped do wonders for teen pregnancy and abortion rates. the grant has expired and now there is bipartisan support to continue funding it using state dollars with the right-wing loons howling about it. the budget has gone to the governor and i can't find anything about funding this program. i really hope it made it in.
if those jerk offs are so concerned about abortion (and welfare usage), you would think that programs that lessen unwanted pregnancies would be popular with them. of course, that's trying to apply logic to a group of illogical people.
edit: it looks like the family planning funding made it into the budget. good on all those who fought for it.
