Abortion has a higher cost than unwanted babies

     

Human Life International took a close look at a study suggesting Obamacare will reduce abortions and concludes it is not true.

After thoroughly examining the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka "ObamaCare"), Dr. Brian Clowes of Human Life International suggests that if the government wants to reduce abortions, it is going about it in the wrong way.

In the first place, Clowes points out that in states that fund abortion, the abortion rate is 50 percent higher. Secondly, he is convinced the government will get as many teenagers as possible on IUDs and injectable birth control.

"The problem with this is IUDs and injectables have chemicals that cause early abortions," he says. "I was just looking at the patient information pamphlets, and they say on all of these things they cause early abortions by rendering the uterine lining hostile to implantation."

Plus, he believes teens will feel a false sense of security, resulting in promiscuity and a much higher incidence of sexually transmitted diseases. The study in favor of ObamaCare, however, stresses that every unwanted pregnancy that is avoided will save $13,000.

"But they completely neglect that over the 80-year lifespan of even an unwanted baby, they pay tremendous benefits back into society in taxes and goods consumed and so on, which amounts to millions of dollars each," Clowes tells OneNewsNow.

"I did a little calculation and found that for every single dollar that you save by using this kind of birth control, you lose $150 in the long run."

He concludes the long-term financial impact of ObamaCare will create an additional societal burden.
