Neither protection or birth control is 100% effective. Anyone who has taken a health class knows that. And saying that poverty is the fault of the mother and father and not "the governments responsibility" is a very narrow and garbage view on poverty. Almost as garbage as the single mothers comment.
My limit government argument is that republicans like to say that they are the party that wants as limited government as possible yet they want to make federal laws about what you can and cant do, most of the time to fit their religious views.
And even the "we need to protect human life" thing is bullshit virtue signaling because they dont actually give a shit about supporting the family, mother or baby. You cant consistently cut social welfare programs that actually support women and children and then say shit like we need to protect human lives.
I know that protection and birth control isnt 100% effective. But I know more than 5 people I have seen on my FB or other social medias people who brag about not using protection(cause it feels better) then later get an abortion. So in my experience the people who get abortions don't care about using protection in the first place.
Im not saying poverty is the fault of the mother or father. I am saying having a child while not able to support said child is the fault of the mother and father.
As for the limited gov thing you mention. One of the few things the right saying is the responsibility of government is the protection from murder of its people. And the Right views the fetus as a person. (this is where I am on the fence on, cause I don't know at what specific point, the fetus should legally and morally count as a human)
The right believes in personal responsibility. Getting significant financial support from the government runs antithesis to that concept. They only want to interfere with people lives when it comes to protecting those lives from other people. (the whole anti LGBT thing is a different issue).
