This is your tax dollar hard at work.
Will someone please tell me, what the hell is wrong with contraception?
How many of you stayed away from sex until you were ready to have a child?
This idea of abstinence is like sticking your head in the sand and hoping the problem will disappear. People have got to get off their moral high ground and really do something about it. Abstinence doesn’t cut it.
If you really want to cut back on abortion, you try anything and everything you can possibly think of to stop the pregnancy in the first place.
Reality tells me that people are just not going to stop having sex so if you want more than just an issue, try being realistic. Just my opinion.

A congressman is pushing a not-so-quick fix in the debate over illegal immigrants from Mexico: free contraceptives.

“A slower rate of growth of Mexico’s population would improve the economy of Mexico. It would also reduce the environmental pressure on Mexico’s ecosystem. But a slower rate of growth would also reduce the long-term illegal immigration pressure on America’s borders,” reasoned Rep. Mark Kirk, who also supports stronger border security in the short-term.

In reality, fertility rates have plunged in Mexico since 1980, when an average couple would have five or more children. Now, the country’s fertility rate has dropped to 2.5 children, compared to 2.1 for the United States, according to United Nations data.

Kirk, an Illinois Republican, made the argument on Thursday during a heated debate in the House of Representatives over whether the U.S. government should be allowed to donate condoms and other contraceptives to family planning agencies abroad that also engage in abortion.

The proposal was narrowly approved by the House, over the protests of anti-abortion lawmakers who prefer sex abstinence education. The measure faces a veto threat from the White House.
