ROBERT WEXLER: Let’s talk about that family planning. Family planning saves, if done correctly, an enormous sum of money down the road in the health care system.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: I don’t know. It sounds a little like China. Congressman Gingrey [the Georgia Republican was also a guest], I think everybody should is for birth control as a right. I’m for abortion as a right, and all that. It’s all a right. But why should the federal government have a policy of reducing the number of births? I don’t know why the federal government has an interest in that. They have an interest in freedom and people making choices. But I just heard a case made by Congressman Wexler that it was in the national interest that we have fewer kids!
