I wish all those you want to give control of what happens inside their body would take responsibility for what happens when it's outside if their choice is to have the child.

I wish all those you want to give control of what happens inside their body would take responsibility for what happens when it's outside if their choice is to have the child.
Plenty of you bleeding hearts find the wallets of taxpayers responsible when a woman makes a choice with her body she can't afford.
It's called social welfare to all these single mothers who choose to have kids they can't afford then expect those to told to stay out of their choice to support them.
Are you saying that social welfare to a woman that chose to have kids she can't afford isn't happening?
What it is amounts to a woman having children you say she has a choice to have yet you don't hold her responsible for the financial support of them.
Are you claiming no single mother gets social welfare?

Planned Parenthood

Q: How much of Planned Parenthood’s services are dedicated to abortions? Does the federal government fund those procedures?
A: Abortions represent 3 percent of total services provided by Planned Parenthood, and roughly 10 percent of its clients received an abortion. The group does receive federal funding, but the money cannot be used for abortions by law.
FULL ANSWER
We received several questions on this topic during the recent budget debate in Congress, after Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl claimed this month on the Senate floor that "well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does" is provide abortion services. That figure was wildly incorrect. Planned Parenthood says only 3 percent of its total services in 2009 were abortions. The other 97 percent of services were for contraception, treatment and tests for sexually transmitted diseases, cancer screenings, and other women’s health services.
Here’s a chart from a March 2011 fact sheet, which reported that the group performed about 11.4 million total services.
Kyl’s far-off claim was mocked by comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and Kyl’s office later walked back the statement, telling CNN that "[h]is remark was not intended to be a factual statement but rather to illustrate that Planned Parenthood, an organization that receives millions in taxpayer dollars, does subsidize abortions." That statement, too, prompted ribbing by Stewart and Colbert. But the comedic clips apparently did not make it to the inboxes of many of our readers, who sent us questions about whether or not Planned Parenthood does little more than provide abortions, and whether or not taxpayer money goes to pay for them.
Planned Parenthood’s chart shows that abortions made up 3 percent of its total services. Another way to measure the group’s abortion services, however, is to divide the total number of abortions by the number of clients. For example, Planned Parenthood said that it “provided nearly 11.4 million medical services for 3 million people” in 2009. Its 2011 fact sheet says it performed 332,278 abortion procedures in 2009. That would mean that roughly one out of every 10 clients received an abortion.
Taxpayer Funding
Planned Parenthood’s 2008-2009 annual report states that it received $363.2 million in "Government Grants and Contracts." (See page 29.) That’s about one-third of its total revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.
However, not all of that money is from the federal government. Planned Parenthood’s government funding comes from two sources: the Title X Family Planning Program and Medicaid. About $70 million is Title X funding, Planned Parenthood spokesman Tait Sye told us. The rest — about $293 million — is Medicaid funding, which includes both federal and state money.
But Planned Parenthood cannot use the money it receives from the federal government for abortions anyway. According to the Department of Health and Human Service’s website, "by law, Title X funds may not be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning." Medicaid funding is restricted by the Hyde Amendment to only abortion cases involving rape, incest or endangerment to the life of the mother. Some states use their own funds under Medicaid to go beyond that. Seventeen states and, until recently, the District of Columbia pay for "medically necessary" abortions, according to the Guttmacher Institute. The federal budget deal now bans Washington, D.C., from using its funds to pay for abortions.

I'm not talking about abortions. I'm talking about a woman choosing to have kids she can't afford instead of an abortion. That's still her choice with her body. The problem is many who say that's also her choice and no one else's business think when she can't afford to support those kids it's the responsibility of the taxpayers when it's not. If it's not my place to say what she should do, it's not my place to feed her damn kids when she can't.
If citizens of a state elect representatives that pass abortion restrictions then that is what the state wants. That is democracy is it not? Also I do not hate the constitution. I don't want to do this but if you keep insinuating things about me or implying things that aren't true or that weren't even mentioned I'm not going to respond or debate you.
For me I don't want to force anybody to do anything but I would hope that more people realize that it's not the baby's fault.
I'm not sure which right that is but that's not what I'm arguing. My point is that the life growing inside of you isn't to blame and that my hope is that more people realize that. For example in the case of a pregnancy that comes from rape the baby is killed but the rapist is given prison time. Who receives the harsher sentence? Both the mom and the developing baby are the victims in that case but only one typically loses their life.
I didn't say that I was. Have a good day.
