No one is demonizing poor people but you'd be lying to yourself if you said it didn't cost poor people very little (money wise) to have children.

It's just funny that you act as if poor people are the only ones that benefit from goverment money, while you drive on public roads, send your kids to public school, and go to a job you got due to your publicly funded education. I guess the government has "provided everything you need " as well

LOL Yeah but I pay taxes.

My point is a main reason that stops people from having children is the cost and poorer people have lower costs and typically have more children than say a person that doesn't qualify for government assistance.

So does everyone else.

And you are incorrect in your assertion that "the main reason people don't have children is cost"

Poor people all over the world have more kids than their well off counterparts. It has nothing to do with cost or welfare benefits.

There are a multitude of reasons for this phenomenon, but it mostly boils down to education and expectations. The more educated a person is the more time they want to spend reaping the benefits of that education and multiple children are viewed as a hinderance to that goal. For poor people there is no success to enjoy, more kids means they have more chances to find success.

This dichotomy is echoed in the biology of all living things. Beings born and raised in harsh environments tend to have more offspring, (thus more chance at success) than those who live in confortable environments. The ones living in comfortable environments tend to concentrate on raising a small number of offspring in a quality and comfortable way.

If it's still 50$ its finna be the most stolen medicine stores have.. How can a OTC medicine be 50$? no way it's going to remain that high surely?

Obama Admin has decided to appeal this ruling:

The Obama administration on Wednesday appealed a federal judge’s order to lift all age limits on who can buy morning-after birth control pills without a prescription.

The decision came a day after the Food and Drug Administration had lowered the age that people can buy the Plan B One-Step morning-after pill without a prescription to 15 — younger than the current limit of 17 — and decided that the pill could be sold on drugstore shelves near the condoms, instead of locked behind pharmacy counters.

With the appeal, the government is making clear that it’s willing to ease access to emergency contraception only a certain amount — not nearly as broadly as doctors’ groups and contraception advocates have urged.

You'd think the anti-abortion folks would be all for this because it avoids the need to get an abortion later on...but somehow they're against it, makes no sense. Or does life begin the moment sperm enters the vagina?

White House officials insisted Wednesday that both the FDA and the Justice Department were acting independently of the White House in deciding how to proceed.

You can't really separate a President from his Justice Department in a situation like this though. And of course WH officials are going to try to distance Obama from thisJD appeal because it has caused a backlash against the admin from women's groups and reiginites that old saw about the Obama Admin not being as pro-woman/pro-choie as they are expected to be.

I'll wait to see what they have to say

It will be interesting to see what they come out with because the current optics are totally painting this administration into a corner what with Kathryn Sebellius blocking the FDA from making the pill available over the counter in 2011 and now the Justice Department appealing this ruling.

I'm curious what the Justice Dept has to say as well
