Joe Arpaio's latest ACLU violation

Not allowing prisoners to have abortions violates their rights?

  Joe Arpaio is not the kind of man who shirks controversy. He's "America's Toughest Sheriff", in his own words. Now, I don't have the exact place where they attack Joe Arpaio, but I find that denying abortions to prisoners should be common practice, not a rights violation. Here's the thing: You forfeit your rights when you commit a crime. You don't deserve to keep all of them, you gave them up. Not only is abortion amoral, but it is also an expense to the government. If you can pay for it, you have a "right" to it, but the government should not foot the bill for your bad decisions.

  I'm no major fan of contraceptives. I'm an abstinence guy, but, seriously, convince me that there's more than just cases of rape when contraceptives could not be used, and I'll let this slide. Not even "morning-after", but better contraceptives, so as to counter the needs for an abortion? It's not like you have to keep the child if you don't want it, but you should have to go through your own decisions.

Exactly.

the LAST thing I want to do is pay (through my taxes) for all the medical expenses, rearing expenses (they aren't going to raise the child in prison), and criminal prosecution expenses (when that child grows up to be a criminal) of a person in jail.

If anything prisoners should be FORCED to have abortions. You don't get the right to breed on taxpayer money while in the slammer for a crime.

Although frankly that is too harsh as well. Cause people should still retain their human rights in prison. Speaking of which, the whole prison system is a "volunteer rape brigade" (with the prisoners themselves being the volunteer rapists of each other), the punishment isn't incarciration, the punishment is prison rape. That in of itself is a pretty major rights violation.
