Sorry, but I’d much rather pay for BCPs than abortions or welfare babies.
Pregnancy IS a pathological condition, if society at large has to pay for the results long-term.
This is a false dichotomy (or whatever the word is for erroneously limiting options to three, instead of two). It is not either/or (as I'm sure you know, since you wouldn't be a FReeper if you were a dimwit). The general public need not pay for contraceptives, abortions, OR the rearing of children, unless they allow their elected representatives to force them to do so.
Here's my plan: private pay or private charity for everything to do with people's personal lives: housing, medical care, education, food, clothing, utilities, gas, blah blah blah.
Both of your choices kill a baby.
Why pay for any of it?

Perhaps you could be more specific.
How exactly do you consider pregnancy to be a "pathological condition"? Do you think it's a disease?
Do you support some form of eugenics program that keeps certain people from having babies?
BCPs are abortifacients. So, by paying for them, you ARE paying for abortions.
It’s the responsibility of the parents to raise the child, not have welfare support it.
Cut welfare now. Hunger is a great motivator to work.
