Colorado Republicans kill successful teen prenancy prevention program

[Jhhnn]

So? If there are people not covered by anything, why is it the state's responsibility to pay for their contraception?

I understand as a practical matter it's ultimately cheaper to do so than it is to deal with the consequences of stupidity and / or irresponsibility. That's why I generally favor programs that help prevent the problems rather than pay for dealing with larger problems later. Logically, the taxpayer should not have to pay for it. As a practical matter they end up having to pay for it one way or another.

So you take a position where the state pays more because... Benghazi, or something, anything with slut shaming, right?

Its the only course one can take to maintain their values.

Being punished for pleasure goes hand in hand with the CBD. Everything must be earned via proper channels and only then deserved. One must be properly brainwashed to defer the consequences of instant gratification. One must learn to fear the pain of accountability. Only fear makes a person moral, right?

The CBD is the result of a tortured soul requiring learning to hate oneself for what is natural. Turn the cherry on the Banana Split of Love into something dirty and lust for it. We are so sick.

Fucking wisdom right here.

Let's hear it for slut shaming, a fave right wing pastime!

Stating reality is now slut shaming? Liberals just love to live in pure ignorance. No action should have a consequence. Stupidity a favorite liberal pastime.

On a side note, I found this quote hilarious: Seriously, she's the first in her family (apparently comprised of complete idiots) not to "experience an unintended pregnancy". Does someone need to explain the birds and the bees to these morons? The way they describe it as "experiencing" something makes it seem like it just magically happens.

Well, in her defense, I'm the first person in my family not to experience an unintended <bad event>. If it weren't for government saving me from myself, I'd be in deep doo doo.

Listen, if you aren't smart enough to understand with others are talking about here, maybe don't advertise it.

and who makes those choices?

those that choose to not be insured/covered are doing it by choice.

Medicaid is available for those that qualify.
The ACA coverage is available for those that have it (by law)

So those that are slipping through the cracks are doing it by choice or do not want to spend their own $$ for teen pregnancy prevention.

Actually in states that refused the medicaid expansion there are a large group of people that make too much to qualify for medicaid and too little to get subsidies in the exchange. Their consolation prize for living in a state that opted out is that they don't have to pay the no insurance penalty, yay!

Also don't forget if you work for Hobby Lobby (or an equivalent) then they don't have to cover contraception because of corporate religious beliefs.

They probably didn't qualify for medicaid until after they got pregnant.

It is their fiscal responsibility to try and reduce needless and unnecessary expenses, especially those which have far reaching and long lasting negative effects on society as a whole.

I understand, you on the left have perfected the art of personal destruction. So. Much do you actually believe the shit you say.

That was pretty dumb of them.

One must be properly brainwashed to defer the consequences of instant gratification.

Indeed. In the not so distant past when the moonbeams of the world had kids they couldn't provide for they would just starve; there was no welfare state to reallocate resources from the fit to the unfit. It does take a huge amount of brainwashing and lifelong coddling to be so entitled that you demand others suffer for your mistakes.

I know you're trying to say, in the most roundabout way possible (brevity is the soul of wit), that conservatives hate sex because its icky and gross and god hates it when you feel that good and gosh don't animals do that. I'm sure a small percentage do, but most of us just hate having OUR ability to provide diminished because we have to provide for the consequences of your "cherry on the top".

The rest of your nonsensical word salad isn't worth addressing. I can refer you to a personal friend of mine (gym buddy) who is a psychologist if you wish.

And yet here you are completely unaware of the fact, despite it being pointed out in the OP, complaining about your ability to provide being deminished that the program the republicans decides to end was actually saving the government money in the long run.

CBD in full effect! Perhaps you could ask your friend to cure your disease

Yeah, I said it was dumb that they stopped it. For your next posts, may I suggest these steps:

1) read
2) comprehend
3) reply

Point still stands. If you aren't ready for the adult table, its back to the kids table in the living room.

Anything the rich don't benefit from is no benefit to the republicans.

Once a snob ass liberal, all ways a snob ass liberal. That high chair of yours sure put your nose in the clouds.

We are Republicans and if you give us control of big government we will prove it don't work by making it not work. We are for freedom too, especially for people exactly like us, who share our exact beliefs and do exactly what we say. We are also for local control unless it interferes with the interests of our campaign contributors. Need we mention "fuck the poor!"

Smile mikey1980! You're on candid camera. !SNAP!

 

[senseamp]

Less teen pregnancy means less cheap labor for Republican donors and less cannon fodder for Republican wars in a few years. Can't have that.

Actually in the past they wouldn't starve, there just ended up being packs of homeless children roaming the streets. You can still see them today in developing countries without a social safety net.

Obviously I was referring to hunter-gatherer/early agricultural societies, doofus, not 19th century street urchins. Man has existed but a blink of the eye in a geological/universal timescale. I should go find a few and pay them a nickel a day to teach dumbshit liberals context and reading comprehension, I suppose. Judging by this thread you guys have trouble with them.

Hell even I thought you were talking about decades ago and not many millennia. I sure hope you have a bunch of nickels because my time ain't cheap but then again I'm not a liberal so maybe the conversion rate is different.

Lol! Stupid liberal for not reading your mind!
