I have no problems with abortion, BUT: If you want one, YOU pay for it!

And if you're not able?

If you have the kid and have no income? The state still pays. A whole lot more.

Why should our tax dollars pay for executions?

 

[WoundedKnee]

It's Illinois. They're bankrupt. Why not continue to drive taxpayers to other states? Eventually, they're going to demand Federal money to finance their public sector employee Ponzi schemes. The everyone will get to pay for the abortions of the indigent too helpless to flee and too uneducated to use birth control.

Because apparently the majority have a different view and that's democracy. Are you a guy?

 

[jaF0]

I think he's talking about Prisons, but I'm not sure.

I think he's talking about Prisons, but I'm not sure.

Yes, since you can only execute a person.

States rights! That's what we fought the Civil War about.

So the free birth control pills are just too much work to take, save time and fix the woman so she can't get knocked up anymore solves two problems and worth paying for.

So you won't pay for an abortion, but you'll pay for a tubal ligation plus an abortion?

Exactly, along with negative population growth.

It's easy to be generous with other peoples money.

How Illinois became America's most messed-up state

Illinois is on the verge of becoming America's first state with a junk credit rating. The financial mess is the inevitable result of spending more on pensions and services than the state could afford -- then covering it up with reckless budget tricks.

After decades of historic mismanagement, Illinois is now grappling with $15 billion of unpaid bills and an unthinkable quarter-trillion dollars owed to public employees when they retire.

The budget crisis has forced Illinois to jack up property taxes so high that people are leaving in droves. Illinois may soon have to take the unprecedented step of cutting off sales of lottery tickets because the state won't be able to pay winners.
