Is unwed pregnancy ok with conservative Republicans as long as the mother does not need public assistance?

Question

I think this is what O'Reilly said in his talking points yesterday, and this is a view I have never heard before. What do you think?

Answer 1

If you cant afford you should abort!

Answer 2

The Talking Points segment does not mention political affiliation as your question suggests. O'Reilly's point is valid: we are all involved  when our tax dollars are used to support mother and child. It is really none of our concern who gets pregnant if that person is capable and willing to provide for the child without public assistance.

  

Answer 3

they made a stupid choice not using birth control, the government should not pay for stupidity.

Answer 4

I think that is the ugly Republican truth that accidentally got just revealed  by this whole thing.

Apparently the Republicans think that it's OK to have  VP for a role model who will tell all those teen-aged American girls and boys that as long as somebody other than the state or federal government can pay to raise your child then it's OK to have them before you graduate from high school.

Answer 5

funny. maybe for the non religious republicans or some libertarians.

Answer 6

Of course.

The history of the United States is that yesterday's so-called "liberal" positions become today's "Conservative" positions.

Usually it's just the result of Conservatives getting old and dying, but sometimes -- like in this case -- its simply the result political expediency.

Answer 7

If he said that he was speaking for himself.

Answer 8

as usual the left is taking another point out of context, he said it makes it a personal issue, and not a public issue. When Obama came out and said "leave the kids and family alone." why do Obamabot ignore their mentor? This kind of smearing will back fire on you democrats, yeah your base has no conscience, but middle America is rejecting, and seeing this kind of change in politics UNACCEPTABLE.  Bring on November!!!!

Answer 9

I have always thought that Bill O needs help! ;-p
