PELOSI SAYS BIRTH CONTROL WILL HELP ECONOMY
Sun Jan 25 2009 22:13:43 ET
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi boldly defended a 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."
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.
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.
Developing...
Too bad Nancy's parents didn't practice birth control...And Ted's...And Bill's...And especially Barak and Michelle's...
Maybe Nancy should change the title of the Bill to the "Make Less Democrats Stimulus Bill".
