Here in NH, the Executive Council refused to fund a $1.8 Million contract with Planned Parenthood of Northern New England on a 3-2 vote – Ray Burton and Chris Sunnunu decided to vote to give the money to the abortion providers. Indiana has also voted to follow suit; the complaints are already beginning to pour in: how dare you refuse to make me responsible for myself? A court battle (seemingly similar to that levied by ACORN when the Feds cut off their funding – they lost) has been filed by PP and the Obama Administration and the sob stories are starting to be put out:
Nicole Robbins, a 31-year-old single mother who has been a Planned Parenthood client for six years, said she had intended to visit a Planned Parenthood clinic in Indianapolis on Tuesday to pick up a 2-month supply of birth control pills. Then, the Medicaid recipient learned that the more than $100,000 in private donations the group had raised since May 10 had dried up.
The Ivy Tech Community College student from Indianapolis who is pursuing a physical therapy degree said she’s not sure how she’ll pay for her birth control.
“There are a lot of people who don’t have jobs, who don’t have income, and Medicaid is their only source of income as far as health insurance,” she said. “I feel like I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place.”
I do not know if she was married or not. If the former, I do not know if her husband left her or the other way around. But the point that sticks out quickly is that she believes that others should be responsible for her sexuality, that any consequences from her personal behavior is not hers to bear. Yes, I’m old school…
… and yes, setting a standard here and I’m about to anger a few folks, but I DO have to ask:
And unmarried? What is going through this woman’s mind that has her believing that others should pay for her fun? Let’s put it another way – how about doing without? Or doing without in some other area if having sex outside of marriage is that important to you?
Here is a perfect example of the morality that Progressivism has wrought. Not only does it show a dependence on society on and for the most personal of behavior, but through the outgrowth of the entitlement mentality that they have engendered, we see a the growing sense of selfishness amongst those dependent upon it: how DARE you not provide for me?
Similar to a child beseeching a parent for that "one more thing".
A self-responsible person would decide to either abstain or provide for themselves. If it were that important, an adult would prioritize their needs, their wants, and their desires, and decide what really was important – and not. They would find a way to find a way to fund for necessities – or do without.
In this case, we see the continued infantilization of American society by the Progressive mantra of "outsource your responsibilities to us; we’ll take care of it all for you…
…as long as you do it OUR way."
