However, I'll bite - it's simple math: the cost of contraception is likely much, MUCH less of a burden on the average taxpayer than the costs of unwanted children to individuals who cannot (or do not want to) support them.
Sunk costs are still sunk - there is no shame in sinking them more efficiently.

If you're under the conception that the taxpayer should pay for the unwanted children, then yes, you can believe that.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
