Gov. Sam Brownback: Forcing women to have babies is part of ‘pro-economic growth agenda’ in Kansas

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/03/gov-sam-brownback-forcing-women-to-have-babies-is-part-of-pro-economic-growth-agenda-in-kansas/

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) suggested over the weekend that preventing women from having abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy was part of his state’s recipe for economic growth....

According to Perkins, Kansas was proving that a “pro-family agenda” was “entwined” with economic growth.

“They really support each other,” Brownback agreed. “Frankly, one of the big problems we have in the country is we’re not forming enough families. And that is hurting our economic work and hurting our economic projection because the best place for that child is within a strong family. And if you’re not forming a family unit, you are also slowing your economic performance.”

“So, these things really tie together. And I think we really do a disservice politically when we separate them,” he opined.

slashing all the taxes on business/wealthy which led to complete of the state economy so I guess I don't put much faith in his recipes.

you know what hurts economic growth? It isn't family related. it has to do with you EFFING RETHUGS giving tax breaks to move well paying jobs overseas while at the same time holding down wages at home for whatever jobs are left.

HOW DO PEOPLE BELIEVE ANY OF THIS SHIT THEY SPEW??????????

It's a good thing the GOP keeps government out of people's lives.
