So no sex for people who can't afford it? I'm sure that'll play out as you hope it will in the real world.
It won't. So now what? Do you have a real solution or is it easier to tell people what to do with their bodies? Here's what's going to happen. People are going to keep getting abortions and nothing you say will matter or change that. If someone gets themselves into a situation they can't get out of without all of our help then I'm going to pitch in to help. Sorry you feel differently. I guess some of us prefer to help those in need. You prefer to despise the ignorant. It's not healthy.

Ya I get it. I'm not saying you're doing it for Religious Reasons although I'm sure they effect you to some extent. But you're saying you thought it out and came to your decision. Good for you. That's what we all do.
So why not allow for everyone to come to their conclusion too??? That's what Pro-Choice is. It's not "Everyone must abort".
It means having all options on the table.
As another poster on here said, "I see it as an act of Mercy." Does that mean it's always done that way?? NO. I'm sure some women use it without even thinking about it or for some kind of birth control too. But the fact is there are many situations where it's a valid choice. I tend to think of them like that. Rather than think of the negative possibilities I'd rather assume people are at least trying to make wise choices so if that's what they choose then they have their valid reasons for it. I know that's not always the case but it's the opposite of how many of you choose to view it which is that there is no valid reason for it, which is BS.

"ATS is rather well known for punishing those that "deny ignorance". We shall see about this account."
How would you know? You have a brand new account....Oh yeah.
You want a welfare state. I want a state where people are responsible.
You want to give a crutch instead of fixing the leg.
I can't stop myself from having sex. Well here's some free contraception.
You keep subsidizing immaturity champ. Spend all you want.
It's not greed that I expect that grown adults should be responsible enough to take care of themselves.
It's greed that grown adults should think I should pay for them to do what they want.
Your a socialist and a traitor as far as I'm concerned.
My correspondence with you is over.
You want a welfare state. I want a state where peo
No. I can see you. All you want is to brag about how great you are and about how anybody who seeks assistance shall be painted as "irresponsible."
You want to give a crutch instead of fixing the leg.
No i want to give people a goddamned chance at enjoying the existence.
It's not greed that I expect that grown adults should be responsible enough to take care of themselves.
Spinning around so much must make you dizzy. No, you were told a FACT that programs like these save lives and your counter is "too much money"! That is greed.
It's greed that grown adults should think I should pay for them to do what they want.
You pay taxes. Cry me a river like the victim you are pretending to be.
Your a socialist and a traitor as far as I'm concerned.
And i could care less what your concerns are.
My correspondence with you is over.
Fair enough. You have been torn to shreds here on this day. You learned nothing, you conceded nothing unless convenient and you displayed your true motivations for your political ideologies.
Yes, i think ending this before you dig a deeper hole into your morally bankrupt ideology would be the best move.

In my opinion the options they have for abortion don't give any gravity to the consequences of their actions. Therefore there is less contemplation about the importance of unprotected sex to them.
No, I don't want to give my money to them. They made a choice. I don't ask you to pay for my bad decisions and have no right to.
I never said you couldn't get an std while using contraception. But again, knowing that's a risk, should you still have sex if you can't afford treatment should that unfortunately happen to you?

I understand your point. It's valid and you should do as you please. I'll help out and you can watch while the rest of us participate in society. If you ever need anything though...dont knock on my door. Nah jk, I'd still help you despite you not doing the same for me.
You did however say, in so many words, that contraception prevents STDs. It doesn't. Do you understand that?
THEY THINK, to whatever feeble degree they think at all, . that THEY are immune from the same treatment they extend to the newly conceived.
THEY think that they will be able to live out their self-absorbed, narcissistic, dependent, entitlement addicted lives with impunity and no significant consequences until very old age . . . and that cushioned by more entitlements.
Evidently they are ignorant about the death panels already written into law.
They are also quite clueless that the same tyrannical oligarchy that has today defined almost born babies as "tissue" can tomorrow define the unemployed, the aged, the surplus in whatever profession . . . etc. . . . as "tissue" on the body politic only suitable to be excised, terminated and trashed.
