PELOSI SAYS BIRTH CONTROL WILL HELP ECONOMY
Sun Jan 25 2009 22:13:43 ET
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi boldly defended a move to add birth
control funding to the new economic "stimulus" package, claiming
"contraception will reduce costs to the states and to the federal
government."
Pelosi, the mother of 5 children and 6 grandchildren, who once said,
"Nothing in my life will ever, ever compare to being a mom," seemed to
imply babies are somehow a burden on the treasury.
The revelation came during an exchange Sunday morning on ABC's THIS WEEK.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family
planning services. How is that stimulus?
PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce
cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of
what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements
are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one
of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs
to the states and to the federal government.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that?
PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the
downturn in our economy.
Gee...imagine how much money it would save government if they just
rounded up all those people who might otherwise end up on the government
dole, in public schools etc... and just killed them outright.
Exactly. The larger issue of course is that by allowing the State to
assume roles that are best filled by a mother and father, we have now
arrived at such perverse conclusions. Economically, no doubt what
Pelosi says is true, but it sure reveals the State's paternalistic,
and furthermore nihilistic attitude toward its citizens.
