Reply #285: Democrats 'agenda' shows S.20 and 'prevention'

[EVDebs]

"S. 20: Putting Prevention First. Democrats are committed to reducing unintended pregnancies by increasing access to family planning services and improving contraceptive coverage. We will increase funding for family planning and empower states to enable more women to take responsibility for their health. We will also improve contraceptive coverage by assuring equity in prescription drug insurance." from

As my other posts on this abortion topic stress, if Plan B and birth control access and information were what they are in, say, the Netherlands, there wouldn't be this kind of lack of clarity and 'commonground'. Common sense would tell you that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. But some in the Pro "Life" camp are actually just "Anti-BirthControl" if I'm listening to them clearly enough.

Are Republicans going to join in and "reduce unintended pregnancies" by inproving ACCESS and FUNDING for family planning ? They defunded the UN's plans for just that. Dems are calling their bluff ! Plan B, the 'morning after pill', should be included in any of these programs and I'll betcha the Repubs will force STATES to do it on a case by case basis.
