If we force more poor women to have poor babies, that's more of a demographic we don't mind sending off to war.
Cannon fodder
Btw... (from you speaking of the pretty gate) how many rocks have you painted to be pretty, in your military career ?
Was that really a punishment ?
If so, did most guys keep track ?
Just curious, as I heard a story, somewhere.
Never had to paint rocks, but when it comes to punishment you're pretty much only limited by your imagination. Mwah hah hah hah!

My bad. Thought it was just a general response on a public message board, not a conversation between two members.

The line of thinking would be: We take away free birth control - hence, less people will use birth control - since they don't turn abstinent, this will lead to more pregnancies - which will lead to more births of poor women who couldn't even afford birth control - hence, more poor children/children of poor mothers have to be taken care of - hence, it costs the state money (or he doesn't take care of them, which also will cost money, becaue desperation, crime, arrests and stuff).

So here you go. Poster E out.
I appreciate you providing the answer for all those that would not, rather they would just spout off.
This line of thinking (given it wasn't yours, you just provided the explanation) assumes that those women that we currently provide with free stuff will just become more irresponsible if we take their free stuff away. Seems kind of disrespectful toward such women.

Good for you saying "less" people will use birth control.
Some people may think you meant "all" and imply that people who feel that way think women are stupid.
