The REAL Steve Gray

Wow. So they have decided poor people should have free female birth control…….

Women on benefits – including teenagers and the daughters of beneficiaries – will be offered free long-term contraception as part of a $287.5 million Budget package for the Government’s welfare reforms.

But critics say the measure borders on state control of women’s reproductive choices.

Social Development Minister Paula Bennett and Prime Minister John Key announced the package yesterday, aimed at supporting beneficiaries to get into training or work.

It includes $1 million to pay for long-term contraception measures such as implants or intra-uterine devices.

The payment for contraception will be offered to teenagers on benefits from July. From October, it will be offered to all women on benefits, and their daughters aged 16 to 19.

Yesterday, Ms Bennett said the funding for the reforms would be heavily targeted at youth and teen parents, who were most at risk of staying on benefits long term and having more children while on welfare.

READ THE REST HERE.

I do hope that Paula realizes that if this option had been around when she was on the dole she may never have given birth to her child who likes having sex with gang members. And being beaten up by them. And that is her right. Why is it only females being forced to use contraception? Surely it is a hell of a lot easier to give away condoms, and also lower HIV/STI infection rates. Why are woman always expected to be in ‘charge’ of contraception? Will this stop at the poor? Will some other ‘group’ become under the spotlight as ‘undesirable to breed’? Can stupid people be sterilized soon? Would a group of ‘stupid’ include Paula Bennett? they are saying it is voluntary but you can be assured pressure will come to bear on these teens girls to take the pill. And where will this type of social engineering end? What has new Zealand become?
