Huckabee: if a woman wants to have sex then taxpayers shouldn't foot the bill for her contraceptives
1/24/2014 | Laissez-Faire Capitalist

Posted on 01/24/2014 10:09:45 AM PST by Laissez-faire capitalist

Or foot the bil for men for that matter. That is pretty much what he is saying and has said.

Why should taxpayers foot the bill for women's (or even men's) contaceptives, be they birth-control pills (or other things that women use as contraceptives), and as well --- why should taxpayers pay for contraceptives that men use?

Or are humans wild animals and just have to have contraceptives?

Why should taxpayers have to subsidize anybody’s recreational sex life?

Well, if he said that, he’s right. It’s an absurdity to think that one person should pay for another’s conscious decision to engage in recreational sex. It’s nonsensical, and if the GOP frames it properly, I don’t see how the libs win. Oh wait, it’s the GOP we’re talking about...

Please... You missed the point.

It isn’t that wild animals uescontraceptives...

But are humans “wild animals” that can’t control themselves, and thus act like animals, and thus need taxpayers to foot the bill for contraceptives?

Please no more unintentional diversions: Stay on topic about how rotten Dems are.

answer to your question: YES, many human beings (especially it seems among your much-loved D’s) ARE “wild animals that can’t control themselves” ....(or at least they choose to behave that way)

It seems they had no parents....

but even so,
the taxpayers have no business being forced to pay for their contraceptives (if they use any to begin with)

I hope he’s including Viagra in that rant. Not to mention penis pumps.

Problem is, they want contraception “after the fact,” i.e. abortion.

I find it hard to gin up any enthusiasm for The Huckster since he endorsed Lindsay Graham for Senate. Hasn’t he always been for amnesty?

Well, Fox News has that one liberal commentator who insists that paying for these contraceptives is only right since the cost of living is so very high - and that sex is used by young folks now as recreation and they cannot afford to buy protection - hence by his logic - we, the taxpayers, should buy their contraceptives for them.

Why not purchase annual movie theatre tickets for them too?

Wild animals don’t tend to have recreational sex. That is purely a human thing.

It’s a quandary. I don’t want to see unwanted kids being born every few minutes. The taxpayer ends up feeding them. So, which is cheaper, a condom or feeding someone for life?

And this is the exact reason liberals are for free birth control and abortion on demand. They know the people will never go for forced population control. So they’ll get as many as they can to volunteer. And they will volunteer as long as it’s paid for.

Flaws in his logic (just two of many):

1.) Can he prove that these teenagers don't spend money on ANYTHING but rent, food, utilities, gas and/or car payments, etc and thus have $0.00 money left over after all of the bills are paid?

If not, then they can pay for their own contraceptives, instead of blowing their leftover money on other things.

2.) He fallaciously broad brush-stroked this by saying “teenagers” are into this as a recreational thing. As if he knows that all teenagers are into this as a recreational thing.

There is a third way: they can get “fixed.”

Sex, with no unwanted kids, no feeding of kids by the taxpayer, and no abortions.

Would people rather pay for a “fix” or condoms and bc pills?A “forced” fix would fall under government forced birth control. Will it happen within the next 10 years or so?

You misunderstood me, I think.

The taxpayers need to tell them that they aren’t going to pay for their unbridled sex, contraceptives, etc, and if they want to have unbridled sex, then they can get “fixed.”

It will be their choice to get fixed, and not forced by the gov’t. I would oppose the gov’t forcing anyone to get “fixed.”
