To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing today to state my views on this issue. We already pay for all of these children that the

parents wanted to abort, or could not afford contraceptives to prevent. I think that making it

mandatory is a GREAT idea. I am a single parent with 4yr (almost 5yr) old twins and can say without

hesitation that this is one program that I feel strongly about. This is not a reflection of religious views

that I have. We (taxes) pay for food, clothing, housing, (i.e. foster homes, and adoption agencies) and

education for these children. The parents are usually on drugs and cannot provide for these children

physically, mentally, or financially. It is about time that America stands up and acknowledges the

epidemic we are facing. Babies having babies, drug addicts having babies, and babies being left for

dead in trash cans. The people that this MANDATORY private health insurance plan effects are the ones

that (1) cannot afford contraceptives (2) are not responsible enough to use contraceptives correctly (3)

will go to an illegal abortion clinic or another state to "correct their problem." If we allow contraceptives

to be FREE, there will be less abortions and deaths of innocent children. Our country cannot effectively

survive with the amount of debt we are in and lack of moral compass. We hand more money out to

the people with the most amount of children. The more children you have, the more money the

government gives you each month. I am speaking as a full-time employed, full time single mom that

receives food stamps and medical assistance for my children. I am mortified to receive assistance from

the govt, however, I cannot make ends meet with the jobs that are available. My college education

means nothing while SEARCHING for a better position. I am not one of the MANY that sit at home,

waiting for my govt and baby daddy's check to clear. I am an extremely hard working educated women

that prides herself on being the most hands on (as possible) mom. One that takes her kids to church

Sunday and sits down to work on reading and math skills before they start kindergarten next year. My

children know of the difficulties we face as a family and are learning at an early age that taking

responsibility for their actions is required to be a productive member of society, and that all actions

have reactions. I will continue to raise my children to be the best they can be, and be responsible. If

they choose to have premarital sex and become pregnant it will be of nobody?s choice but their own.

They will not be raised to know that the amount of children you have contributes to and directly reflects

the monetary amount the govt will give you monthly. They will not learn that "milking the system is the

only way to get what is coming to you," which is what I have heard from several American's lately. I

know that I do not share the same views as some or possibly most but I thank the LORD above that we

live in America. Let?s work together as a nation to become proactive with the epidemic we are facing.

Children as young as 11 years old are becoming mothers. Just read the news if you need proof.

Sincerely,

J. Oneida
