Not an easy question.

“She has her daddy’s eyes … and her mummy’s heroin addiction.”

ad campaign from Project Prevention in the US and the UK that pays drug addicted women $300 to get voluntarily sterilised or have a very long-term birth control method put in ie IUD

http://www.projectprevention.org/

$300 seems quite low to me

IUD lasting long term is bull shit, it cost way more than $300 too.

yeah i don't know much about IUD other than that's the option this group offers women who want the money but don't want to be permanently sterilised. Not sure I even personally know anyone who's had it put in. This group pays for the sterilisation/IUD, refers them to drug treatment and pays them $300.

When I first heard about this I was a bit meh about it all but reading more about it, I think this is a pretty good program. Although of course those against it see it as targeting minorities, etc

 

[rito]

don't know anything about the program, just know i shelled out about $900 and the thing fell out after 6 months.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

LOL. It falls out?!?!?!

I thought those things were implanted...

That paints a very odd picture in my head.

 

[rito]

It didn't entirely fall out. But it came somewhat out and had to be removed, which only took 5 seconds for the doctor. And yes it involved a minor surgery to put it in.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Ahh. Gotcha.

We call it The Two Solitudes.

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them; and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

You can certainly legislate the middling, semi-incompetent political class into prosperity. That's the whole M.O. of modern "socialist" states.
