    Colorado put a program similar into effect that was cut from the budget. The data showed first a drop in teen pregnancies and higher secondary graduation. Then when the program was cut, abortions were increased and high-school graduation dropped. It’s almost like you can stop it one way or the other, and one seems more preferrable. What if every sperm was not as sacred as they want us to believe? not sure, but /s just in case…

      It was actually costing less to have that program then the cost associated with increased Medicaid usage from low income teen mothers.

      That is even before you consider the costs associated with the loss of lifetime earnings from the teens loss of education.

        But if we give them reproductive healthcare, how are we going to punish women for having sex? Checkmate libruls!
