In the Denver Post this morning, we see again,
ANOTHER reason I can't stand Republicans.
Colorado is No. 1 in the country preventing teen pregnancy and abortion, largely because of a program to provide long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) such as IUDs. A modest $5 million investment would mean higher graduation rates and fewer teen mothers on public assistance, saving the state about $50 million. The LARC program gained bipartisan support in the House and among national public health professionals because of its success.
A broad coalition of children's advocates, non-profits and medical professionals worked for months to talk with lawmakers to find common ground and allow the program to continue, BUT, Republicans killed the bill, as they have several others, regarding contraception.
So, we'll have kids having kids, that society will have to pay for, and the cycle continues, as the Repubs continue to be the Party of NO!
Sickening, but SO Republican, as they disregard the will of the majority of the people, and the experts in the field, for their dogmatic fringe.
