Contraception is stimulus?

Democratic Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi defended inclusion of increased funding for contraception in the latest federal stimulus package over the weekend. Setting aside the irony of a such a policy coming from a woman who has no qualms about selling herself as a Catholic grandmother when she is campaigning, there is much to criticize in this proposal. First of all, if we have fewer people, who is going to pay all of the taxes that will be needed to fund the social programs Speaker Pelosi helps to enact? Once again, the Democrats see people as a problem for the government to manage. In that context, it makes sense to limit the number of people. Which people, in particular, do the Democrats not want? This is another example of the Democrats supporting a culture of death. However, as I have argued in a previous post, society benefits from increasing human fecundity. Where will tomorrows workers, artists, musicians, inventors, and entrepreneurs come from? There are good reasons to follow the scriptural suggestion to be fruitful and multiply. Moreover, what sense does it make for the federal government to spend money it does not have so that the states don't have to spend money they do not have? I'd rather see individual states setting their own spending priorities, especially when times are tough. I, for one, do not want the United States to become like Europe, where declining birth rates are crippling their socialistic economies and hastening the Islamization of once great Western societies. Sorry Mrs. Pelosi, spending more on contraception is a bad idea.
