[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to me what politicians (both D & R) mean when they say talk about affordable childcare?  Are they talking about subsidizing, or regulating prices?  I feel like it's a bait issue that is tossed around but with no real way to accomplish or solve.  Please be nice- it's an honest question.

It means that those of us who didn't have children until we could afford them will end up paying for irresponsible people having unprotected sex.  If you cannot afford child care, you cannot afford to have a child.[/quote]

wait, what was that part about not supporting abortion or comprehensive sex ed?

Yeah, get the hell out of here with your nonsense[/quote]

Yeah, see, that's the problem.

Republicans oppose anything but abstinence only sex Ed in schools (which has repeatedly been shown not to work) and access to birth control. They defund Planned Parethood, and oppose abortion.

Then, once the children they've left ignorant and unsupported have sex and the girls get pregnant, they blame them, shame them and make it virtually impossible for them to get an abortion (because they value life).

At the same time they oppose funding prenatal care and nutrition programs for the pregnant girls, increasing the likelihood that the "lives" they supposedly will be low birthweight, have special needs, etc. (because, after all, why should the "responsible" people have to pay for those sluts who can't keep their legs together), and then they vote to cut things like Head Start, SNAP and other programs on the grounds that "welfare queens" are just churning out babies at society's expense.

They vote to cut education and job training programs that would help the young mothers advance themselves and break the cycle of poverty, and then blame the mothers and the kids who repeat the cycle and subsidize the prison industrial complex.
