I'm not sure how an Ode to abortion = dependency...can someone explain that?

Because it was all about how someone else should pay for your right to choose, otherwise war on women blargh!

Once again, what is worse...paying for the unwanted children that are born into this world as the result of limiting or removing forms of birth control, or just providing birth control...this goes beyond the fiscal implications, you and I both know this. This has much more to do with the political rights idealism than it does with the cash flow. We've been providing life support for corporations that don't need it for a good long while, but considering solutions that allow a person to choose when or if they have children is ideologically abhorrent. We both know that this market is capable of creating a low cost market for birth control pills that would be profitiable to insurance companies...but due to corporatist principles, we treat corporations as people giving them a say in what is ideolohically correct and therefore do not have these solutions because corporate America is inherrently conservative...

In short sex sells so we know there is a profitable market there...

 

A deeper question is how many of those unwanted pregnancies would exist if we weren't subsidizing poor decisions?

Hypothetically speaking, if we allowed legal paternal surrender, eliminated welfare, and didn't pay for abortions/birth-control the risk assoiated with making poor decisions would prevent the vast majority of people from making them. 95% of unwanted pregnancies would disappear because the vast majority of women would refuse to have sex with a douche bag who wouldn't stay around.

I'm tempted to ask how much of that is based on personal experience and a frustration with women since your post seems to be using statistics to create a positive correlation with your own personal experience....however hypothetical that data may be...

You do demonstrate my point though...limiting birth control adds inhibition to the female and in turn they behave the way they are "supposed to behave" which is just a personal ideology which has proven to have zero merit.

Women having sex out of wedlock, with multiple partners, none of which are necessarily even boyfriends, has been going on for a long time here in the united states and have been doing so long before birthcontrol was an inexpensive accessible option. Limiting female choice is not going to change that by anywhere near the margin you're proposing and it defies what America is about...individuality and personal coice.
