Unintended Pregnancies Cost Taxpayers $11 Billion A Year: Report

Unintended Pregnancies Cost Taxpayers $11 Billion A Year: Report: "During a recent debate over a bill that would make it necessary for women to buy separate, abortion-only insurance policies to cover the expensive procedure, some Kansas lawmakers questioned whether it was realistic to expect women to prepare in advance for a rape or an unplanned pregnancy.

Rep. Pete Degraaf (R-Mulvane), in response, compared an accidental pregnancy to a flat tire.

'We do need to plan ahead, don't we, in life?' said Degraaf during the House debate. 'I have a spare tire on my car.'"
