    Or how about we don’t provide services for people who make obvious mistakes. I’d rather keep my tax money than it go to them

      Ahh, the classic ‘we shouldn’t reward bad behavior’ line that completely ignores that treating tax money like Santa Candy (to be withheld from the bad little boys and girls) just costs everybody more tax dollars when it means foregoing spending on preventive measures that help avoid expensive problems.

      It’s not rewarding teen pregnancy, it’s preventing it

      Also,

      You don’t get to keep it either way.
