It's been happening since time began...

I'd be all for encouraging responsibility,... but not ruining lives for mistakes...
Should we not fix skateboarders broken legs because they didn't think ahead?...
We ride bikes... how responsible is that?...
Sex happens...  mistakes happen...

Read up on the history of infanticide...

Nothing new here...

Of Course not.
No one want's to, stop, a skateboarder, from getting a broken leg repaired. Or a MC’er getting a body part fixed.  Etc. No one will, punish them for a , mistake.

That is NOT the Issue.
The Issue is, RESPONSIBILITY.

MOST, Skateboarders, KNOW, They are Responsible for their failed trick resulting in a broken leg.
It’s not, You or Me.

The skateboarder, does that, ’trick’, knowing, a result may be a broken leg.
If it results in a broken leg, they KNOW, that was the risk, and they get it fixed.
They do NOT, ask you or me, to Fix it !
They do not, EXPECT you or me, to pay for it.

That is, Completely different, than, a person,
who, has no responsibility for their actions,
(Never has, because they have been TOLD, they don’t)
Having, you and me, PAY, for their ‘fun’.

Bold you say.....perhaps, but then tell me why in sex ed classes, pictures of abortions, and testimony of those who have had them, and how it has impacted their lives way more than the minutes of pleasure intercourse can provide, are not highlighted as much as putting on a condom?

Why is it young folk are expected to make life altering decisions based on incomplete , or, only one side,  of the issue?

The same mentality, about getting high, seems to be in common with abortions in educating folks about the other consequences of such actions, if not exhibited in a responsible manner...

Mothers Against has shown the light on it, and that is a good thing.
Up here in Washington, we even have the gubbermint airing ads, some really good ones too, about getting high, or BUZZED, and driving, yet, for all its good, the glamorization in movie, and song, by " liberal free interpretation "  can have way more influence on folks than what a gubbermint can undo...

This, if it feels good, do it, mentality has had its impact all on us, a heil of a lot more than fast food, or second-hand smoke....

Clinton could have said re: Monica, "I made some bad choices in my personal life, it is between these people I hurt by my actions, and no one elses....."

Yes,  another position would have been, (when asked in the 1st press conference),
  "That is NONE of your Business, Move on, Next Question"

I thought Bill said to Monica;

" I want you to sack my cook "

because he wasn't impressed with the food in the White House.  

Surely 'drawl' ?

More of a vowel-swap....

I'm so far out of the loop, and I haven't been following this thread, but LostArtist's comment resonates with me.

If you're going to cut funding to Planned Parenthood, why do I still have to fund welfare babies?

Funding for abortion, on a fereral level, is already against the law, so to speak...
And as I stated earlier, abortion is just one small element of what PP does.
I would say a better way to go with this is a third party audit, to see how much, where, how, etc, they use tax payers money....
I think it should be mandatory to audit any program, that uses tax money......

How much money did we spend to train rebels in Syria, all 5 of them???????
