American Communist Liberty-hating Union: Inmate abortions should be on our dime

#5  The bigger question here is: why are prison inmates being allowed to get laid?

#4  Give her the abortion. It's cheaper than jailing the kid.

#3  I'd just as soon the criminal justice system not be burdened by having to deal with her offspring. I suggest she be offered a two-fer. Abortion and sterilization. I'd let the taxpayers spring for that. Cheaper in the long run.

#2  Good questions in the comments. I've got a better one: Is she pregnant because a male guard raped her in prison?

IF NOT (& I'm betting not, or the lawyer would have said so), how is this the taxpayers' fault?

She wants to exercise her (judge-bestowed) "choice." Strikes me she already did that. She chose to break the law, and she chose to have unprotected sex, either between her arrest and trial/sentencing, or in prison.

I'd like several do-overs in my life, too. Ain't gonna happen.

(By the way, I don't care if someone gets an abortion or not. I just don't think the state's taxpayers should have to pay for her stupidity and lack of self-control.)

#1  Interesting that she can pay for everthing else except a $350 charge. I bet she suddenly materializes that $350 on about week 21 if nobody coughs up the dough.
