It's Saturday Night
Low Income adults without health insurance cannot afford contraception in some cases. At times the cost of condoms are out of the question. Are they never allowed to rise above the poverty level ? What kind of a society is this ?
Currently, sexual health, choice and reproductive freedom in America are for those that can afford it. The Lower Classes including the Lower Middle Class find comfort in religious boundaries in defined large families and pregnancy as virtue. It is all they have. Any responsible religious leader will never advocate poverty for their flock nor adverse health in the reality of that poverty.
Bush's priorities for a ? moral ? America are cruel and contrived but taken seriously by those that seek life without quality as a means of definition. It is not their fault. Religion's acceptance however is their comfort.
Giving every opportunity to a well conceived and well loved child is more moral than any aspect of 'enforced pregnancy abuse' of women and their spouses.
Socioeconomic disparities have been documented for children and adults in access to and use of health care, and in health outcomes (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality 2003). Socioeconomic disparities may also exist in the financial burden of illness, particularly since low-income individuals are more likely to lack the protection of health insurance (Holl et al. 1995; Institute of Medicine Committee on the Consequences of Uninsurance 2001). Even with insurance, cost is still reported as a large barrier to receiving needed care for those with lower incomes (Davidoff 2004).
