Abortion is the cheapest 'solution' not the most expensive.
Speaking of prevention. Can you name a conservative backed program that focuses on preventing pregnancies? Let's dispense with the abstinence idea since that did not eve work for Palin, her daughter or her son all of whom had children out of wedlock. Bristol is still a single parent right?
Not like the conservatives in favor of eliminating abortions have an solutions to help prevent unwanted pregnancies or all the children who are currently up for adoption.

The People that object to Tax Money being used to fund Abortions don't care about the expense to bring a Baby to term or the cost of taking care of it till it is an Adult. They really do believe it is Murder to kill Fetus. The don't want to contribute even one Penny to Murder.
How did this situation become the responsibility of only Constrictive groups.
When I was a Teenager My Father bought Me Condoms and there was a lot of times I abstained from having Sex; even as an Adult. The result of that is no one so far has come to the Door with a Baby and said this is your Kid.
Some of the reasons I abstained from having Sex where that if I had a Child I would have tried to take care of it and I knew I was not ready for that. The other reason is I did not want to be stuck having an long term association with the Mother with out some deep Feeling (call it Love if you like)for the Mother.
In other Words I did it (well didn't do it) to exercise some control over the direction of My Life.
I also made a decision not to be a Substance abuser; something else that can lead to unwanted pregnancies.
So it is clear that I believe:
Teaching and supplying Teenagers with contraceptives is the responsibility of the Parents.
Prevention of unwanted pregnancies is the responsibility of the Persons involved not the responsibility of some Group.
