STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?
PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that?
PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy.
The burning question is, whose familes will get "planned", and who will do the "planning"?
Look for clues above in red.
I suspect that it might be people whose existence is a burden to state and federal budgets?
I suspect it might be the people who have been taught from birth to sit still and just make sure you vote for government to save you.
Hey all you "compassionate" Lefties...do you want to make a guess about whose
children will be piped off to municipal waste-water treatment plants in order to save costs?
Will it be:
a) The children of rich people who pay thier own bills
b) The children of poor people who rely on government to pay their bills.
Crickets anyone?

Reply to Comment: "Family Planning" is a euphemism for abortion plus contraception. For places that provide both parts, only abortion generates enough profit to pay the bills. Contraception is the marketing program for establishing contact with prospective customers. Similarly, your pediatrician cannot pay the bills by handing out lollypops to the kids.
The abortion lobby does not pay Democrats to advance their lollypop distribution program. Democrats are paid to advance profit-making abortions while using "family planning" as mere rhetorical cover.
Beyond your semantic trifle: How is it that preventing child birth saves money for any State? What is the mechanism of your premise? Whose children cost States money? And also, happens to the carcasses of aborted fetuses?
Thanks for leaving the comment anyhow.
