Self responsibility. Why should the government be responsible for peoples poor decision making skills.


Let me spell this one out: There is always going to be areas in society where people make dumb mistakes. The problem with a hands-off attitude is that these kinds of mistakes increase the poverty rate in the United States - which is not an insular issue only affecting the person in question. It has the capacity to affect you if it gets bad enough.

People can't be trusted to make the correct decisions, so we provide goods and services where practical to those affected by poverty. It isn't really a common thought of the average American that:

"Hey, you had sex at the wrong time, so you should have your entire life upended."

...Which is the core issue, and PP helps prevent this from being the case by providing contraceptives so this never becomes an issue. But now, you have people wanting to defund them even though it demonstrably makes society worse - more unstable, more prone to unrest.

The fact that social safety nets are reduced on top of people being more vulnerable to financial traps at a very young age is just more fuel to the fire, and it's highly hypocritical coming from a party that claims to hold Christian values.

What passage of the Bible said "Go, my child, but if you have sex without a condom, may ye and your child be condemned to single montherhood at 16."?

It's just a blatant lie that these Republican politicians care about fetuses. They stop caring the moment any financial incentives have to be allocated towards the well being and development of the now-born child. Abortion is strictly an emotional pet issue for the Republican party to drudge up images in peoples' heads that compel them to vote based on emotion without analyzing how little the Republican party actually cares about children and their well being.
