If you think fronting the cost of condoms for teenagers is expensive, wait till you see how much it costs the state to provide services for a single teen mother
Or how about we don’t provide services for people who make obvious mistakes. I’d rather keep my tax money than it go to them

Ahh, the classic ‘we shouldn’t reward bad behavior’ line that completely ignores that treating tax money like Santa Candy (to be withheld from the bad little boys and girls) just costs everybody more tax dollars when it means foregoing spending on preventive measures that help avoid expensive problems.
It’s not rewarding teen pregnancy, it’s preventing it
Also,
I’d rather keep my tax money
You don’t get to keep it either way.
Even if we pandered to your every preference, I doubt it would satiate the greed of someone who’d rather see children punished than contribute fractions of a penny to prevent it.
So why make society worse if it won’t even make you better?

Because they are your fellow citizens.
You know what’s so much more expensive? Teenagers having babies. That shit is expensive for everyone. Having a child’s life ruined and forced to raise a child into another ill prepared adult. Costs society lots of money.
I mean yeah but Cali is an abortion rights state so those factors are less present in the decision than they would be elsewhere
You mean a women’s rights state? A state where women have rights over their bodies?
We had condoms in our school washrooms in the late 90s in Canada. Pads in the ladies room as well. At a broke ass public school that had out of date text books.
America really is a weird fucked up religiously warped place.
The amount of bills he veto in last weeks makes me ask is this mother fucker a Republican or Democrat? He sure is veto bills he should be signing. If I was a Californian I be looking for his replacement and primary his sorry ass.

Forgot the third option, preparing the run for President.
Fuck you, buddy. This isn’t the get-out-of-jail-free card that you think it is. Let’s have more teen mothers with unwanted babies and see how that turns out. /s
