I am not telling them what to do .I am telling them to pay for it with their own money. That is the whole point of this thread.

You are trolling. This entire thread you created was to speak out against abortion. It had little to do with funding under Universal Health Care.



Well mind reader, even if this thread were about the merits of abortion it would still be a policital issue, and therefore not trolling.

I find these threads most amusing. Here you have people who are against control of any kind yet come out in force and say "But with this the government should be in complete control. No abortions at all". What they are really saying is all women are merely incubators. They should have no rights whatsoever when it comes tp pregnancy. Kinda makes you feel like a second class citizen, doesn't it. At least thats how my wife feels. That's why we got out.

This is a good argument. The right to choose is one of the fundamental arguments in the abortion debate, the right to decide on what you do with your body, and ultimately the right to privacy. The original Roe V. Wade, was a court case on the grounds of a persons right to privacy in a medical office, the patient/doctor relationship. On the other side of the argument, the prolife argument, is that the unborn fetus is a person and has the right to live and be born.
The ultimate question that really has never been answered to satisfy a court of law, is when does life begin, when does a fetus stop being mindless and develop a awareness.
One could argue, that if the health care bill denies federal funding for abortions, then it can lead for arguments that federal funds should not be used for the child birth, or any other medical proceedure. With a public health care you can not just pick and choose, as it will not hold weight if this bill gets passed and goes to the supreme court. Because, then the argument that health records, and the patient/doctor confidence will not be honored and in jeapordy.
Myself I am prochoice, because I can not say what is good for anyone elses medical care and body, nor can they say they know what is good for me, that is between the my doctor and myself.


clap clap!

If the baby can't survive out of the mother's body, then to me it's not "alive" for lack of a better term. JMO. fwiw.

Good question. I don't agree with taking one persons money to pay for someone elses care either.. So I don't know why they are making you pay for somebody elses kids cold. Maybe you should ask your congress people why they have been screwing us all for the last 40 or 50 years.

Thats the reason that I am personally pro-choice. I dont like abortion. But I dont have a horse in that race. Therefore, I dont get a vote.

So under this definition shouldn't we let everyone die who needs any sort of assistance to keep them alive? Sorry uncle bob, you aren'treally alive as long as you need a ventilation machine while you recover from your illness.

so....you have a little bit of a problem when it comes to moms wasting taxpayer money running kids to the doctor needlessly, but you have a major problem with taxpayer money going to end a pregnancy, even when the mother's life is in danger.....

and you want me to believe that there isn't some kind of gender bias going on here?

If a mother has a baby when she's 10 weeks pregnant.. the baby would DIE because it can't sustain life outside of the mother... Therefore if a mother has an abortion at 10 weeks, IMO, she isn't "murdering" anybody.

Secondly, I do not like the idea of a person being on a ventalation machind for too long.. i.e. Terry Shivo and my Mother.... you are just prolonging the inevitable.

Did I say the mother shouldn't be saved if her life is threatened by the pregnancy? I did not, because then you are choosing who isgoing to live and who is going to die. There is nothing wrong with saving the mothers life by an means possible.

That is very rare though. Most abortions are due to the fact that having a child would be inconvieient to the mothers future life.

Yes, because you've been around every woman that has ever received an abortion and asked her why she was getting it.
