[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a family of 4 has a household income of $12,000, what is the appropriate level of tax?  [/quote]

When the mother or one of her three children need healthcare, they should pay $10 per service.  Birth control should be provided to the mother at no cost [/quote]
It is. Isn't that one of the Obamacare requirements? So she has no excuse for having children she can't afford - she's getting the birth control - and if she decides to be irresponsible and not bother with birth control, well....$10 for her kiddo to see the doctor.[/quote]

First of all the Republicans and anti-abortion people have been fighting free and readily available access to birth control for years. They fought free birth control with Obamacare. They constantly try to defund Planned Parenthood who is one of the main suppliers of birth control for poor women and birth control is 97% of their services from what I recall. They fight sex ed. They fight easy access to Planned B emergency contraception.

I agree women should be more responsible but you forget birth control can fail and many people have such chaotic lives that they are barely able to function. Think maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Lastly, we are a free country. Are going to say you have no right to children unless you can afford them or limit children like China? I think that would make America an awful place which I would hate to see.

Instead, I would like to see sex ed, encouragement of waiting to have children, very easy free access to birth control, and incentives to not have more children to women who are dependent on welfare. For example, perhaps poor women could be given a more money so as not have more kids or something like that.[/quote]
Birth control actually fails pretty rarely. - especially the pill. I'd say if you can't afford a child and don't want to risk it, double up with something else. I myself have done that[b] when I absolutely was not in a position to get pregnant. [/b]

And of course you are free to have children you can't afford (although that it highly irresponsible). No limits like China. But that also doesn't mean that taxpayer have to pay ad infinitum while a single woman pushes out five, six, seven children. There should be a disminishing "return" - full amount of welfare for the first four, then lesser amounts. She still can have as many as she wants. But there was a woman in the news some years ago who had TEN children! and was provided a virtual mansion to house them all. Enough is enough.

Also, as far as defunding PP....that's because they are also providing abortion,  and there are laws against federal funds for that. By providing funds for their "non-abortion" services, money is being freed uo for abortions. We are indirectly funding abortions. That's the problem. PLUS, even if PP were defunded, it's not like women can't get their free non-abortion needs from any doctor. That's what Obamacare is funding. [/quote]
Well, on second thought, I WAS in a position to get pregnant, LOL! That's why I doubled up on the protection! (Sorry, couldn't resist....)[/quote]
