Re: Students Shout Their Abortions to Disrupt A Pro-Life Display. Pathetic.
Birth control has nothing to do with health care. Taxpayers are paying for single women (Democrats) to mess around. It's shameful.
Since about 65% of all 1,000,000 fetuses/year that are aborted are by women living either in poverty at the poverty line or slightly above poverty, tax payers will be responsible for supporting 65,000 children/year until they are 18
Let's do the math for 65,000 extra un-aborted and unwanted children /year.
The birthing of a child costs about $10,000 if nothing goes wrong
Post natal care costs about $5000
WIC costs about $2000
Well baby clinics and immunization about $4000. TOTAL$21,000. one time cost /child to be born
Someone estimated it costs about $5,000/ year to support a child. 18years x $5,000/year=$90,000/child for 18 years
Add in the cost of birth $21,000 + $90,000 for raising child for 18 years =$111,000
65,000 un-aborted children born into poverty or near poverty X $111,000 for each for 18 years=$7,215,000,000 every 18 years. BUT if you ban abortions and refuse to pay for contraceptives that's 65,000 new unaborted babies each year so in reality you are talking about $7,215,000,000 every year not just every 18 years.
Lets look at the cost of covering contraceptives in women's insurance.
Government negotiated contraceptives = about $10/month =$120/year X 65,000 women = $7,800,000/year x 18 years=$140,400,000
So compare
Contraceptives for 18 years _______________________________ $140,400,000.
VS
Supporting 65,000 children for 18 years_____________________$7,215,000,000
If you want to ban abortions and refuse birth control insurance then you can’t complain about the $7,074,000,000 extra it cost taxpayers to raise all those extra kids.
