Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Corey Johnson, both Democrats, announced a budget agreement Friday, set to be voted on this week, that would allocate $250,000 to the New York Abortion Access Fund, which called it "extremely good news" amid other states passing anti-abortion laws.

Cheaper to fund abortion than to fund decades of welfare payments.

Good. It’s what we should be doing across US - especially the dirt poor Appalachian and Southern states where kids are getting pregnant at 18.

Excellent news. Abortion should be safe, free, and on demand.

So NY is supporting murder, but still won't have the death penalty.

Good. A big part of the problem with the abortion debate over the last 30 Years is how pussified libs are about defending abortion rights. For years they have only defended abortion in the most apologetic ways. And that's emboldened the weirdo fetus worshippers who inevitably hate the kid once it's born. Enough with the wimpiness from libs, this is the way to go. Roe vs wade has been legal for decades get the fuck over it.

Smart. There are too many people. Soon there will be water wars, food wars, and land wars. The earth cannot sustain humans, we're like cockroaches.
I'm for quality of life over quantity of thirsty, hungry, greedy, grasping humans.

What happens when all the sluts max out the allocated budget? Do the black girls get a discount on their fifth abortion?
Seriously though there are far more important things to spend that money on. Affordable housing, helping the homeless, food subsidies, job growth.
Yet again I'm surprised that so many gays on a gay forum would support this. This is yet another cause that sucks out funds to an issue that doesn't directly involve you.
As for stopping the population boom, all it will mean is that the US will get more immigration to fill the vacancies that these would be babies would have generated. Can't believe that so many idiots on here are that naive.

They can fund this but can't fund dentists to fix all the broken and missing teeth in the city?
That way those people could get jobs, who wants to hire a snaggletooth.
This is PC gone mad. Fund what is actually needed.
Basically NYC is saying, "we want to kill off all the potential thugs that will grow up to be criminals or welfare recipients"
And that ain't no compliment.

Does this mean they will pay for tourists' abortions in NYC as well?
[quote]anyone who is unable to pay fully for an abortion and is living in or traveling to New York state...

R7 I think some of that is because a vocal minority of women like to make proclamations like, “It was the hardest decision I ever made” and “Nobody WANTS to have an abortion.” Bullshit. If those statements were true there would be far fewer unwanted pregnancies and virtually no abortions. FFS, of course you wanted an abortion - that’s why you got one!!
Most women don’t make statements like these, but they are common in the media and discourse about abortion. It’s like they have to be victims. It’s not enough that they were able to get a safe abortion at a reasonable price. It still has to be traumatic for them.

free unlimited abortion to save the world, but also unlimited immigration because 'nobody to fill those jobs'
somehow both statements make sense and can be supported by the same person. just don't think too hard
