Look at What Missouri is Doing
In an effort to appease the religious right, the Missouri House has just passed legislation which will eliminate providing contraceptives to the poor of that state.
They say "a private doctor can do that". Doesn't that sound something like "let them eat cake"?
Teen pregnancies have decreased in MO, according to this article, partly because of the availibility of contraception. I thought that was a goal but evidently not.
Update. I need to go back and read it again. Does it apply to men as well? Are they paying for Viagra? Very important questions.
I'm tired of repeating myself about the idiocy of these people. Just click on the link in the title.

Of course that's their aim, WA. I mentioned that on another blog that picked up on the same story.

It is the marries as well as the unmarried who are being denied preventative family planning here but that is almost beside the point because we are no longer talking about people and their lives.
We are talking about inventory, humanoid livestock.

Well, they'd better get those taxes back up because children cost more than contraceptives.
