That's fine advice, Mom, I hope your kids listen to it. Unfortunately, none of your kids (or mine) are the ones having abortions. Abortions are the result of unintended pregnancies. Providing contraceptives for free is supposed to reduce the incidence of unintended pregnancy.
Now I don't know if the ObamaCare mandate has been efficacious in reducing unintended pregnancies. I'd like to see that research, too, if it exists. But the point is this - there is NO better way to reduce abortions than to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies. We can debate how best to do that. You prefer lectures and churchin', and others say contraception. Maybe the real answer is we need both.
Nonsense. The very best way to reduce abortions is to try those performing them for murder and send them to ol' sparky. But you don't want that.
It isn't as if no one hasn't been told by the ripe old age of ten how babies get made.
It isn't as if there isn't sex education in grade schools and up detailing how not to get pregnant.
It isn't as if the means to prevent pregnancy aren't available with or without the parent's consent.
This is about the imposition of a requirement for people who have a religious objection to birth control, including 'morning after' pills, to provide these whether they object religiously or not, effectively placing the State's mandate ahead of The Almighty.
The whole Murder, Inc. thing is just sweeping up the crumbs from the eugenics plan.
