In my opinion; it's not a bad idea, but I'm sure they'll hear a lot of complaining from right-to-lifers. It will help those in need of an abortion, get one instead of being forced to go through with a pregnancy and giving birth to an unwanted child. Though many people see it as a moral issue and what I'm about to say may seem cold; it may also ultimately save the taxpayers from supporting that unwanted child for the first 18 years of it's life.

Making abortion available to ALL women, not just those who can pay for it with their time/money (ie, middle-class women who live near enough to clinics to even get one) is not necessarily a bad thing.
At least, not in my opinion. But then that's just my opinion.

I do not think we should have to pay for someone to get an abortion, to me that is bullshit, I dont agree with abortion, and I sure as hell dont want to pay for it.
will they be paying for a boob job, its a medical procedure??
by MrJosh on July 21st, 2009
Since abortion is a medical procedure, it makes sense to me.
by Friendo on July 22nd, 2009
Right. First of all , this story makes no sense, then check out the source: Cybercast News Service, formerly Conservative News Service. Purveyors of lies and more bullshit than FOX. These people keep the trailer trash riled. Get another source if you want to be taken seriously. How about a House or Senate Bill number? This is way, way beneath you, Jim. Which side are you on, anyway. Christ.

Congressmen say? Would those be Republican Congressmen by any chance?
by ChrisDC on October 23rd, 2009
Well, that actually is not in the bills being discussed and it never has been.
So I think the Democrats did make a mistake. They left it out at the insistence of pro-life Democrats.
I'd think that this would be an object lesson about negotiating with some pro-life folks. You can agree to what they're asking, but it doesn't solve anything. Even when they win, they go out and scream about having lost because it's too useful for fundraising purposes.
by Wynper on October 12th, 2009
Federal law prohibits tax dollars funding abortions and there is no funding in any of the current proposals for abortions on demand.
This is another line of bs designed to scare people.
Lies and more damned lies.

by Ironkettle on July 21st, 2009
Well, it will probably be harder to pass, being as a two sided thing. I kinda am against it for the fact that if taxpayer are paying for abortion people will be unresponsible and just have kids and abort abort. I am for it cause people who truley need it, need it. Nuetral.
by Wynper on July 21st, 2009
Okay, so you object to your tax dollars possibly paying for an abortion as part of a health care plan but you have no issues with your tax dollars killing innocent men, women and children who happen to live in war zones?
Your hypocrisy would be laughable if it weren't so tragic.
by Mosexy on July 15th, 2009
I'm sure they know they're provoking a fight. They probably put it in there on purpose to pull attention from other aspects of the bill.
by His Lordship... has left on November 1st, 2009
Goofy source. I wish it was in the bill (it wouldn't pass however) but it isn't.

those pesky devilish democrats. next thing you know, their president will try to brain wash our kids into believing that burning gasoline isn't good for the u.s. economy or the world environment!

We have this in Australia and I see or have no problems with it , we have checks in place to stop anyone from abusing this program and it works very well
by angus1 on July 22nd, 2009
They must want to maximize the number of abortions. Once you start giving them away for free. . .
by angus1 on July 22nd, 2009
Then all other elective procedures should be covered too. But, I doubt it. Some in our society love abortion for some reason.

Hmm, Obama is really a piece of work talk about people having no responsibilities for their actions.
by dead leaves raked in a pile on November 1st, 2009
Can you believe congressmen? So much nonsense has been spouted about the Obama Healthcare Plan it's hard to know what to believe, except that congressmen (of either persuasion) are bigoted liars.
by csimme01 and Ninja Cooper UNMASKED on October 13th, 2009
Give me a link to a REAL source of information and then we can talk.
by Nightwatchdog on October 12th, 2009
It's no problem for me - but if you have a problem with it then I'd say don't use the program.
Anyway - I doubt if any such provision is in any of the health care plans on the table...it would be a red flag to so many people.
by Gnome of Kevonia is a Cheerwine junkie on October 12th, 2009
I'm highly against abortion in the first place, so this is even worse. I do NOT want to fund abortion. I want no part of this junk.
by Phillis - Zacks little sister on July 15th, 2009
I think it's a ridiculous part of the plan. Women who don't want thier babies have been finding a way to pay for their abortions anyway, and compared to other procedures, it's extremely inexpensive. WHy the hell should we pay for thier birth control??+5
by Rude Bear Ready for Winter on November 1st, 2009
A right wing "news" source that quotes two Republicans as the gospel truth, and quotes Obaama but suggests he is lying. Does Fox news know about this?
by Mazzi71 on November 1st, 2009
Yes, obama health care plan just provide taxpayer-funded abortion. It's always been like that and that's the way that it will ten to one stay
by Fiedler9 on November 1st, 2009
Yes, you simply are a bad idea. It's always been like that and that's the way that it likely enough will stay

Conservative vs Liberal
If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn`t eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his Enemy.
A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.
If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a black man or Hispanic are conservative, they see themselves as independently successful.
Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is embarrassed.
If a liberal slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he's in labor and then sues.
If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A liberal will delete it because he's "offended".

Every thing they do is a bad idea on the part of Democrats.
Do you have to qualify in order to recieve government healthcare in 2014? If so, what is the income cut off before being unable to qualify?

What you said makes perfect sense. Women have been getting abortions for unwanted children anyway. I don't see why we should have to pay for it. If they want to get rid of the child, they find a way to pay for the procedure, right?
by Phillis - Zacks little sister on July 15th, 2009
I'd be much more inclined to agree with Right-to-life people if more of them would become involved in adopting unwanted children that are carried to term. Too many children already live out their entire childhood bouncing from state care to this and that foster parent who is just in it for the money.
by Jim in a Nautilus COAT on July 15th, 2009
I agree with you. That's the biggest reason I believe in abortion. I hear all their whining and complaining and standing in front of abortion clinics and blowing them up and killing doctors that perform abortions; but I have yet to see any of them take part in caring for the unwanted children who are born. I even suggested on here that the time they waste harrassing people at abortion clinics would be best spent giving an unwanted child the love and guidance needed. I got DRd for it.
by Nancy on July 15th, 2009
I'm sorry you got DR'd. At least you're suggesting solutions instead of complaining. I don't agree with paying for someone else's birth control, but I know a level-headed idea when I see one.
by Phillis - Zacks little sister on July 15th, 2009
Thank you Phillis.
by Nancy on July 15th, 2009
I don't know a family who hasn't been touched by adoption. I guess I'm wondering why you think that people who do not support abortion do not adopt or support these surviving children.
Many of them do, they just don't announce it. But as long as people insist on having their own, there will always be unadopted children waiting for homes.
by Anonymous on July 15th, 2009
Sorry Sherri, but those right to lifers that I know, that picket, complain, etc; not one of them has adopted. All they do it complain. I live in the Bible Belt. I'm glad it's different where you live.
