Pelosi: 'Birth control will help the economy'
Topics: Political News and commentariesRed County is right on target with it's framing of Pelosi's over-the-top comment as: "She said what?":
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?Related: Speaker's Population-Stimulation Plan
PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They 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.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that?
PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy.
