Everything you say may be correct but FYI birth control pills at WalMart are $9 a month cash. As for Family Planning Clinics, we all know that there is a campaign to defund these clinics. I personally would rather keep them going than pay to support unwanted children. I honestly don't know whether women really have children to receive a welfare check or not. I do know that there are bad people everywhere, like keeping old and disabled military vets in captivity to take their retirement check. As I said, I see the U.S. as turning into a big Detroit. We are in a 3 class society, the takers, the providers (which I assume most of us are) and the rulers- the dictators that try to control us- Mr. Obama is their king.

No birth control....Baloney.

I too believe he hit a home run on many of the issues. But... you just can't say that young black girls should stop having children out of wedlock. At the same time we are defunding sources of birth control and even legal abortion. Perhaps many young girls want to have a baby for social reasons or perhaps financial reasons. Perhaps they don't want to have the baby but can not terminate the pregnancy because they can not have access to a legal abortion. Every child born in Texas costs the taxpayer at least $5,000 a year in school district expenses. That's my property tax bill going to that school district. Plus the fact that most of these young girls will end up on welfare. I will not argue the abortion debate but I do feel that the latest Texas legislation on abortions and the funding of family planning clinics may protect the "unborn children" but make me pay for those children and perpetuate the problem even further. Wouldn't we be much better off making sure that these young girls got adequate birth control, encourage them to not get pregnant by limiting welfare, and realizing that public service announcements are not going to break the cycle. For the average person, sterilization can be done at any age. If a woman is on medicaid she must be 21 (plus 30 days) to get sterilized. I have seen women that are 20 with 5 children that are just too stupid to keep from getting pregnant but they can't legally get sterilzed and so we all have to pay that bill. 5 children means $25,000 a year in property taxes for the school district and who knows how much for welfare. I know O'Reilly is a strict catholic but somehow we must prevent some of these pregnancies if we are ever going to break the cycle. What's even worse is that when one measures iQ level versus number of children one has we find that intelligent people tend to have a small family size and low IQ people tend to have a large family size. So, the population of lower intelligence ( if this is hereditary) grows geometrically. Of course this is great for the democrats, a huge population of dependent, low IQ voters. The U.S. is starting to look more and more like Detroit.
