    Yeah but women start becoming high risk in their 30's. And there are millions of high school aged lass's out there.

    Funny, that is not the opinion of those who need it.

    Your anecdotal evidence is just that, anecdotal.

    Getting a prescription requires a doctor visit.
    The prescription can cost as much as $75 per month

    You may not have an issue with these costs but lots of people do. For them the $50 cost of the pill may be the difference between buying clothes, or not. Fixing a car or walking.

    In going after PP you go after the weakest among us. Unfortunately for you and yours, most people see beyond your anger and hate and offer humanity instead.

    . There is these nice things called community health center/clinics. Every county in the country has one and they are cheap for services.

    They have the right. However why would federal dollars pay for it? Federal dollars in case you were not aware are tax payers money

    Just stop making excuses. My bc rx is $9/monthly at Wal Mart. It's generic. It works. (I've stated this already and you ignored it and kept spewing $75 per month for their bc.) The dr. visit is covered under their subsidized obamacare policy or their medicaid policy and no co pay for yearly wellness visits.

    Is that the same Washington Post that deliberately promoted pro-Hilary stories, ignored pro-Trump stories, and colluded with the Hilary campaign and the DNC? It sure is.

    And you expect us to believe it when they state an opinion (because its not news, it is the WaPoo after all) on Planned Parenthood?

    There are over 650 PP centers in the US. They are not the same as the public health clinics, who may be locally, state, and/or federally funded. It's my opinion there is a duplication of services where all of the federal grants could go to the local and state level and not PP. Much like in business, when a company acquires another company many of the people are let go because there are duplicate tasks and the new combined entity is more efficient than the previous two. Synergy happens and a reduction in the amount of tax dollars required evolves. All of the sites won't be needed and neither will all of the current counselors.

    Not the question you asked. Focus.

    Why would someone want an abortion despite the fact that they, themselves, were allowed to reach full maturity in the womb?

    Yes but do those local centers send millions back to the dems?

    Women's birth control should be written into law.

    When does the cost of spreading your legs come into the picture?

    Yes because the government should subsidize personal responsibility instead of it being, you know, personal responsibility.

    Well gee. I know this lady whose family earns just a few hundred dollars too much to get Medicaid and, in a state that refused the Medicaid expansion, doesn't make enough to qualify for subsidies so she has to pay full price for health insurance. She, of course, cannot afford that health insurance so all of the niceties to which you refer are not available.

    Not everyone is as fortunate as you or me. The $75 number is as valid as the $9 number and is as valid as the $5 in some places but not everyone gets those numbers.

    Not a single dollar of tax money is spent on abortion services at PP. Your desire to harm the least among us to achieve a symbolic goal is beyond comprehension. Unwanted births prevented by family planning services at PP saves this country far more than the tiny amount spent.

    But they do so much more as well! Like hiding older men having sex with underage women.

    No, just like the post to which I was replying didn't make sense when he said, "Do you ever notice that the folks who are so pro-abortion have already been born?"

    The same people who rail against abortion also rail against welfare. It's so stupid. If you prevent abortions, you're going to have lots more children in need of welfare.

    Sounds like the lass in your story needs to go drop a $10 on a family sized box of condoms or learn how to have fun without screwing.

    What doesn't make sense about that? They get a chance to choose because their life wasn't decided for them.

    I would be curious to hear if you are also comfortable with paying a fine every time you ejaculate inside a female.

    Actually that makes perfect sense. See people who are already born can object. People who haven't been born cannot.

    Wow. That needed to be explained.

    Don't turn it around on pro life people. Why are you gonna open your legs if you're not prepared to suffer the consequences?
