The benefits of the bipartisan-passed Title X from 1969 that Pedophile Trump intends to kill:

It would go on to become one of the most successful federal programs of the last century, with one study finding it prevented some 20 million unintended pregnancies in just 20 of its 50 years by providing women with free and low-cost birth control. It has significantly reduced child poverty. In 1957, nearly one in 10 teenage girls gave birth. Today, the rate is closer to one in 100. For every dollar spent on family planning funds, the government saves $7 in Medicaid costs.

But something very much like this was already on your bingo card.

The Epstein class looks at that figure not as an achievement in quality of life improvements, but as 20 million lost workers trapped in poverty and another 20 million workers to replace them.

"Mr. Trump seems aimed at getting more women pregnant, whether they want to be or not."

That's kind of always been his thing.

37% of humanity is a problem worldwide. Dumb as shit, an/or racist, and/or sociopathic assholes.

Yet [contraception] doesn’t come up in the section spelling out the department’s top Title X spending priorities. What does? Addressing “exposure to harmful chemical and environmental toxins,”...

Meanwhile, they're systematically dismantling the EPA in order to supercharge "exposure to harmful chemical and environmental toxins," so you know exactly how (in)sincere they are about this shit.

If poor women have unwanted children, they will become poorer and the Trump administration is not going to provide support for them.

They don't care. Whoever lives, lives, whoever dies, dies. They'll harvest the useful poor and ignore the plight of the rest.
