Lautenschlager’s Plan C: Babies Are Expense to Society

Today, current Wisconsin Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager asked a Federal Court to allow the State of Wisconsin to join a lawsuit to force the FDA to allow the “morning after” regimine to be sold over the counter.

This is, at best, a questionable use of scarce Wisconsin criminal justice funds.

A look at her arguments regarding the necessity of more aborted babies shows a more grotesque moral ambivalence toward life in general.

From JSOnline’s Daywatch:

Some abortion opponents object to the drug because they consider it to be a chemical abortion and have concerns about the drug's impact on women's health.

But the difficulty in obtaining the drug has had a negative impact on Wisconsin taxpayers, with the state's Medicaid program covering many of the financial costs of unintended pregnancies, Lautenschlager said.

"The politics of the federal government in keeping a faction of the radical right happy is essentially impacting the health of many young female Wisconsin residents and it's costing us money as taxpayers," Lautenschlager said.

Wow.

So, Peg Lautenschlager looks at babies born as the result of unintended pregnancies merely by their impact on the state’s social services budget.

They are financial liabilities. Not potential teachers, doctors, mechanics, paramedics…

It’s not important if these ‘costs of unintended pregnancies’ grow up to enjoy life, become educated, fall in love, marry, have a family, have children of their own…

It matters not if they get jobs, create jobs, pay taxes, and contribute to society.

Damn it, they’re a huge burden on the taxpayer.

Even those who consider themselves pro-choice surely have a problem looking at children, born children, in such a cold and calculating manner.

Forget the drunk driving and the misuse of state owned car. This callous, disgusting, reprehensible comment alone shows she does not deserve the honor of being Wisconsin’s top law enforcement official.
