Planned Parenthood says their clinics give out contraceptives preventing over 400,000 births each year. I don’t doubt it. Since most of the children would have been born into a low income situation, the clinics saved governments billions each year in subsidies and Medicaid. Instead of trying to close them down, the conservatives should be flooding them with money. The only reason I can see for not funding them is to breed cheap slave labor to do menial jobs. Yes, it’s a stupid idea but I can’t think of another reasonable excuse.

As I have previously stated I may not like abortions but only two ways of reasonably preventing pregnancy are surgical. All others are all not 100% safe or reliable. I am most bothered by third trimester abortion but I understand why most happen. I understand why some really moral people (not just wanting to be elected) might not be able to stomach abortions.

Now let’s think about a life’s cost and commitment. Are those people protesting at abortion clinics willing to adopt the infant if it is not aborted? No! They want someone else to pay for its needs and for someone to be paid to provide foster care. Some may be good homes but the news is filled with terrible situations. The state basically drops the child off on a street corner at eighteen unless they were fortunate to have been adopted in a loving family.

Our culture says every life is precious but we lock people away for small crimes, execute people to save money, and dump immigrants trying to escape horrific conditions back into where they left. Don’t forget the people we kill overseas in the name of Democracy and misguided objectives.

How much is another life worth to each of us? $500,000, a million in taxes?
