[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]

My god, is there no behavior you cannot excuse, PP.  A chaotic life so someone is unable to use reliable birth control but have reliable sex?  Yes, let's give poor women more money not to have more kids.  Then what happens if their "chaotic lives" catch up with them and they have another kid or two or three?  [/quote]
