TX War on (poor) women and vaginas

Dramatically Higher Costs in Texas Result from Cuts in Family Planning Program

Providing contraceptive funding for low-income women saves money by preventing unintended pregnancies. It really shouldn't have been something that required additional proof. However, it did, and now the Texas legislature is seeing the consequences of the budget cuts to family planning programs.

Via the New York Times:

The latest Health and Human Services Commission projections being circulated among Texas lawmakers indicate that during the 2014-15 biennium, poor women will deliver an estimated 23,760 more babies than they would have, as a result of their reduced access to state-subsidized birth control. The additional cost to taxpayers is expected to be as much as $273 million — $103 million to $108 million to the state’s general revenue budget alone — and the bulk of it is the cost of caring for those infants under Medicaid.

Those costs won't just go away after birth, either. The additional children will likely continue needing health care from the state, and at least some of the women who have given birth will have additional health issues from the pregnancy, either just simple follow up for issues like post partum care, potential infections from c-sections or episiotomies, problems associated with weight gain, diabetes, or high blood pressure developed during pregnancy or even more serious health problems like pelvic and bladder issues.

But hey, at least they managed to keep some dollars from Planned Parenthood, right?

20K+ unwanted babies certainly means more abortions. Way to go, TX "Christian" Repugs.

Where's the Repug War on Penises?

Texas Republicans are shocked to learn that birth control prevents pregnancy

And now there's a bipartisan coalition trying to come up with a way to restore the funding. Not because they've realized that all women should have the right and ability to make their own family planning decisions, mind you, but as "a cost-saving initiative if nothing else." But:


Any such agreement would almost certainly exclude Planned Parenthood from future financing.


Of course. Apparently making sure that lower income women have access to basic medical care and live-saving cancer screenings isn't a cost-saving initiative that Republicans are concerned about.

the thing I take from all of this is that american women (american feminazi movement in particular) are extremely emotionally immature. They act like selfish little children, totally obnoxious. pay for my sex life It's as if they have never matured past the stage of being 15 years old and depending on their father's credit card. Why is it that American women are so damn immature and selfish? You think I should have to pay for your sex life you stupid ****? , I don't even pay for the chicks I'M ING. It's like they don't want to grow up or something, they want to remain forever in their own little world where they are "daddy's special little princess". american women suffer from a HUGE NARCISSISM COMPLEX! Has anyone else noticed this?

has anyone else noticed how low class and trashy american women behave? especially when they get drunk? I see pictures of these American s on Facebook all the time. They make all kinds of provocative poses, thinking they are so sexy or whatever, trying to attract everyone's attention to them. I got news for you ! YOU ARE NOT EVEN PHYSICALLY ATTRACTIVE! THE ONLY REASON YOU AMERICAN WOMEN THINK YOU ARE ATTRACTIVE IS BECAUSE THE IDIOT MEDIA HAS BRAINWASHED YOU TO THINK THAT YOU ARE GOD'S GIFT TO THE EARTH! then they end up pregnant at astronomical rates..Stop having kids you ugly ing wooly mammoths.

I'm just tired of the en lement mentality. Such selfish thinking need to be altered, and replaced with responsible thinking.

[boutons_deux]

"replaced with responsible thinking"

... by vaginas, not by penises.

[Wild Cobra]

Maybe the answer is not to have sex until you can support a child.

I used to think "why in the should I have to pay to support anybody's stupid decisions?" But the older I get the more I see that there might be something to this eugenics stuff. Do we really want these women producing anymore children? The demands they are making show that they aren't capable of supporting or raising them properly the vast majority of the time.

I mean, free birth control. Seriously? We are saying to these people "guess you aren't capable of control over your actions; here's some money, please don't have another kid you can't afford." Just the fact that someone would ask for that without feeling any shame probably proves that we should do just that for the greater good.

disagree, it's ingenuous m>s classic tbh and you know everything he said is ing true, but i dont think it's just american women who have such problems like narcissism complex as m>s described, it's indeed an inborn instinct for women of all races to behave like s in order to draw attention from other people especially the opposite sex. they think they're princesses and they always want you to respect them but never show any equivalent respect to you until you slap the outta their faces and make them your es tbh, just as the old proverb says, a dog, a woman and a walnut tree, the more you beat them the better they be

[Jacob1983]

Why is it that a human being can afford a monthly cell phone bill yet they can't afford birth control? Maybe, their priorities should change. If you want to screw more than you want to text, then maybe you should get rid of your phone and use that money to buy birth control and start screwing away?

It also provides a false sense of security, and at some point, birth control fails.

The only time I ever had a condom fail on me, was with a woman who got the government free condoms. They use dirt cheap, inferior condoms.

The bottom line is, since it isn't a 100% method for preventing birth, shouldn't be having sex unless you are ready to support a child.

Actually its sad you ruined a good reply with your quote detective skills. (on a side note where did you see it posted?)

So the Government has an agenda for larger population growth?

[Jacob1983]

I think the myth about condoms and birth control being 100 percent fool proof is related to the fact that when you are young, you really do think you're invincible and you have this mentality of "oh, it won't happen to me" when it comes to pregnancy.

[Wild Cobra]

So the Government has an agenda for larger population growth?

I wouldn't say that. More likely the peanut counters make them buy the cheap, inferior ones.

WC will you stay out of peoples sex lives and their condom choices?

I never knew that.

You stuck your in a welfare kunt with free government condoms?
