Is Nancy Pelosi Right When She Says Contraceptives Will Help The Economy?

Now,I didn't hear an explanation as to how "contraception will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government".Does she mean that by controlling the growth of our population we will save money?It just doesn't make sense & it sounds like China,where the government controls the population.How will that immediately stimulate the economy? Where is the logic in Nancy Pelosi's reasoning? Here's more from the Telegraph:

"The Democratic leader defended plans in the government's $825 billion (£600 billion) economic stimulus package to reimburse states for contraceptives and other family planning services given out as part of the Medicaid programme for people who cannot afford health insurance.

Mrs Pelosi said that "contraception will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government".

Mrs Pelosi, the mother of five children and grandmother to six, did not spell out exactly how fewer babies would help the economy.

But she told ABC television: "The family planning services reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs.

"One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government," she said in an interview on Sunday on ABC's This Week.

John Boehner, the House Republican leader, told Fox News: "Regardless of where anyone stands on taxpayer funding for contraceptives and the abortion industry, there is no doubt that this once little-known provision in the congressional Democrats' spending plan has nothing to do with stimulating the economy and creating more American jobs."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/financialcrisis/4352050/Nancy-Pelosi-says-birth-control-will-help-the-US-economy.html
