Birth Control = Jobs?

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi defended her move to add birth control funding to the new economic "stimulus" package, claiming "contraception will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government."

The revelation came during an exchange Sunday morning on ABC's THIS WEEK.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?

PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that?

PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy.
Mrs. Pelosi, the mother of 5 children and 6 grandchildren, who once said, "Nothing in my life will ever, ever compare to being a mom," seemed to imply babies are somehow a burden on the treasury. Also, note, that the entire Ponzi scheme of Social Security DEPENDS on the birth of more babies, not less, to keep it running.

Forget the birth control - let's just print up pictures of the Speaker of the House and Scotch tape it over the bed frame of every cheep hotel room across the nation. That should take care of the problem.

...and let me offer some advice Mrs. P. if you want to try to keep the Conservatives away from the polling places in two years, don't use taxpayer money for condoms - and we all know she's really talking about abortions. She's going to our tax money (which a couple people might find offensive or against their moral and religious beliefs) to prevent the 'occurrence' of children - all while pretending to create jobs? That's not only silly, it also doesn't make a lick of sense.

And can we nip this hiding crap in the phrase "creating jobs" now? It has become the new "for the Children..." but obviously, in this case, it doesn't apply since it's very much "against the Children." Even Pelosi's not THAT bad of a politician to slip on that banana peel. Give her another week.
