Under Obamas health care plan, abortions will be paid for by the tax payers., Now you got that right.

Not a question of who pays for it (although IMHO, it should be the responsibility of the person and not the government).

No...the question is why should a woman be subjected to government intrustion in a very personal and difficult decision?

The Republican party, at one time, used to believe in LESS government intrusion into ones private life.

Now, we have government intrusion into health, medical and even sexual matters where the government has no business.

And we can thank the "new" Republicans for this government control.

Eric makes good points! It should not be up to the government to make an ultrasound mandatory prior to an abortion. oldrustytulsa, I haven't read all the way through this new bill, however what I have read so far doesn't mention abortions being paid for. Can you tell me where this can be found.

Old Rusty,
The fee for a safe abortion at a clinic whether it is a medical abortion using RU-486 which has to be done VERY early in a pregnancy in the U.S. or a surgical abortion which is done later is $800.

An unloved and/or unwanted child is setting us up for a much larger bill. If you want to "Pony Up" for THIS, then let us know. Otherwise.....

To stay on topic... I feel that if a woman is going to have the choice available to her, and that she is going to make that choice, regardless of protesters and such... then she should be able to get a doctor's approval, or denial, without interference from the government saying she has to get an ultrasound, and report stuff about herself before she can get one.

I am pro-life AND pro-choice... I feel that an abortion is wrong, and murder... but, if a woman finds herself in a position where she feels she has no other recourse... then where is it my business to tell her what she can and can't do with HER body, and HER soul... cause SHE is the one that's going to have to live with that choice.

It is so bizarre to me that a state that has such a very high rate of teen pregnancy, child abuse and a lack of services would make this an issue. If their could be a little less breeding and a little more education the children that are born might not end up being eaten by dogs and forced to be raised by drug addicted women that never had a chance themselves.
