Those two things outweigh the deficit for women, because without control of reproduction, the deficit is a murky and manageable future problem.

Of course, the deficit is a rich man's worry; the only people howling about the deficit are the very rich, and that only because they understand that they'll have to pay taxes to fix it. Mind, in my view, that's only fair, since their unwillingness to share the wealth has caused much of the deficit.
