Federal Funded Abortions

As a female who thinks an abortion is a medical procedure that is none of your damn business unless you are getting or performing one, I could frankly care less.

As a man I don't feel that I have any right to tell a woman what to do with her body.

However as a tax payer I'd happily pay once for an abortion rather than 18+ years of care. I can say this since the average abortion costs around $500-$1,000. That's not a burden on the average family. However the family that is going to have a very hard time coming up with that money is most likely in poverty to begin with which then means that the mother goes on welfare, the child goes on welfare, and often the cycle simply perpetuates itself. While birth control and condoms are cheaper than abortions they are not 100% effective.

How about we meet half way and allow the Plan B pill to be covered?

How silly, we could just force sterilizations on people who make less than an amount that might cover an abortion. :sarc:

This threads premise has already been refuted. Why the poisonous bickering needs to continue is beyond me..

My whole point for the original post...I thought(wrongly might I add) that the Federal government WOULD NOT be using any tax payers money to fund abortions in the Obama Health Care plan. There were very public deals made between the President and the small group of Democrats who were holding up the passing of this bill (that many Americans didn't really want) that there would be no federal funding of abortions.
Then it turns out that this "deal" made by our President wasn't what it was made out to be... abortions were covered in the many pages of the bill, we were warned "you have to pass it to find out what's in it." I was disappointed again by him, and consider this an our right lie to the American people on his part.
I don't believe in Abortions unless for rape victims or when the life of the mother who might be in danger...I don't feel that they should be used for birth control. We all know where babies come from...we all have a local drug store near by that sells birth control. I have personal knowledge of women who have had multiple abortions... they admit they use it as a back up plan in case "it happens".... perhaps that colors my opinion on the matter.

Don't feed the trolls. :nono1: They are just like alligators - keep feeding them and they will just keep coming back for more and poisoning the political forum. They suck up all the energy that could be used for positive discussion towards solutions.

Haaaaa! Haaaaaa!
As a former teacher,I found that my students, retained more, understood more, and were able to make more informed decisions when they did their own research.

This is why I support all gay relationshuips as well as Gay Marriage--there are no abortions--just the desire to adopt, raise, and nurture children cast off by straight couples. The sanctity of life seems to be supported here.

So Obama didn't lie or break any promise, and the only abortions paid for will be medically necessary life saving procedures.

But this isn't a classroom, and you aren't the one in charge of teaching any of us study skills. If you make what can be seen as an inflamatory or controversial statement, the burden of proof is 100% on you to provide an accurate citation for what you're claiming.

It's extremely sloppy on your part, and if this were academe, you'd fail the assignment for not properly supporting your thesis in any way shape or form.

Does that mean that anytime someone post their opinion(s) on a matter that is in the news, that has also been a hot topic on many news shows and political blogs...... an opinion I might add that goes against your own, that they also need to provide footnotes to you and other forum readers to justify and validate their personal opinion on a subject, that they should treat their opinion as a thesis .......surely you jest!

AS to my statement being inflamatory and controversial, your words, could you please share your qualifications and your certification as an expert in judging and "grading" opinions ...

My qualifications include being the reigning Bullsheet Queen and Commissioner of Common Sense. :wave:

Did you hear...another broken promise by Obama has come to light...federal funded Abortions with the "new Obama Health Care" plan will be allowed in PA. Other state Health plans are lined up to use funds in the same way.

Politifact weighs in...
