And I'll tell you again - either you're being made a fool of or you understand exactly what's happening and you don't give a dam about single mothers or poor mothers or young mothers or teen mothers or illigitimate children or poor children or unwanted children or neglected children or battered children or any other kind of women and children.
And these guys were bold enough and confident enough to say so.
Until July 1, a low-income New Hampshire woman paid an average of $5 to fill a birth control pill prescription at any of the state's six Planned Parenthood clinics. She might have even gotten the birth control for free, depending on her poverty level.
But since the New Hampshire Executive Council voted to cancel the state's contract with Planned Parenthood, a woman now has to pay anywhere from $40 to over $100 for birth control pills at a regular pharmacy.
The Council, a constitutionally empowered group of elected officials, rejected up to $1.8 million in state funding for the family planning-provider -- about 20 percent of its total annual funding -- and stripped its authority to dispense low-cost birth control and antibiotics to uninsured patients.
"We can't even provide patients with antibiotics for urinary tract infections or STDs anymore," said Jennifer Frizzell, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England. She said Planned Parenthood has had to turn away 20 to 30 patients a day who are showing up to refill their prescriptions.
"We have to send them away with a prescription knowing that without insurance, they have to pay the full cost of that at a local pharmacy, and many patients have told us they're not gonna have the money in their budget to afford to fill those prescriptions."
New Hampshire lawmakers rejected multiple attempts to defund Planned Parenthood during the 2011 legislative session, voting repeatedly in favor of continuing to fund PPNNE using the state's federal family planning money. But the Executive Council, which oversees state contracting and generally stays out of hot-button political issues, overturned the decisions of both the state legislature and the Department of Health and Human Services with its 3-2 vote against Planned Parenthood.
The three Councilors who voted against funding for Planned Parenthood said they did so because some of its clinics provide abortions, even though those abortions are entirely privately funded. Councilor Raymond Wieczorek of Manchester added that he opposed funding for birth control and condoms altogether.
"If they want to have a good time, why not let them pay for it?" he told the Concord Monitor last week.
About 42 percent of women in the state who qualified for family planning subsidies sought care at one of the state's six Planned Parenthood clinics. Frizzell said many patients were drawn into the clinics to fill a birth control prescription, and would then agree to an annual pap smear or STD testing. Abortions accounted for only three percent of PPNNE's services.

Women shouldn't have sex until they are married. When they are married and have a couple of kids, the father has no liability when he gets divorced and marries again.

There's condoms and not having sex until your ready to have a kid. Look, Sex is not a right, it's not the government's job to ensure people can go knocks some boots without possible consequences...
I don't get the problem here, I do not want my tax dollars going to provide cheap birth control so people can continue to have sec without responsibility.
Perhaps that's what's happened to our society... lack of responsibility?...???
I want my government to start Planned Drunks, when I go out, I sometimes don't have the money to get wasted AND buy a taxi home, so I drive, endangering myself.
My government should set up Planned Drunks where they provide cheap, or sometimes free depending on your poverty level, ride homes. That way I can stay out and blow 75.00 on 6 beers, and not worry about having to save for my way home, or try to drive home and change my life forever...
Damn that sounds like a dumb idea... And no way I would expect EVERYONE to fund it...

My Last note: It is not the governments job to subsides a habit, a practice, an exercise, a routine, etc... Why only this habit or action? Why not others? I don't want my money being used for that, I don't get the need for you to want our money to be used for the benefit for so few compared to the tax paying base?
Why not instead focus your efforts to raise private funds through charity and other avenues to get the funding you want, in order to provide the free benifit you want too to the people you want too...
Why are you wanting to force me to support your view points?
