Do you think taxpayers should be paying for Viagra and Cialis under the health care plans and insurance exchanges? Isn’t that a similar situation as paying for the abortion?

If the child is not wanted, would you have the woman be forced to carry it to term? What then? How much more does it cost to deal with unwanted children? If poor women cannot afford an abortion, are you willing to help pay the tab for the child abuse and neglect system to protect the unwanted children? Or the sicknesses and injuries because someone has been forced to have a child they did not want and probably can not afford? Isn’t in fact allowing abortion coverage into the exchange the more economical route and better for the total society?

Or is it just a bad thing that a woman had sex? Especially since so many of the same folks who are ardently anti-abortion are just as ardently anti-contraception, anti-sex education, and plain anti-sex?

Many reasonable think abortion generally is the taking of an individual human life (I’m not one of them.) MOST Americans think abortion after about 5 months is pretty damn sick and pretty damn evil. The Supreme Court has spoken, and virtually all abortions are constitutionally protected. But Ann Coulter does not get the community at Firedoglake to pay her book advance when she engages in constitutionally protected speech. NRA members don’t get funding from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence to support their constitutionally protected right to buy and carry guns. And those who get abortions should use the power of the State, i.e., taxation on pain of jail, to coerce their neighbors to pay for the procedure.

Don’t try to lay any of your pseudo righteous guilt on me. Cosmetic breast surgery is not something that I would have covered (although breast reconstruction after a mastectomy should be). But you miss all the reasons why a woman might need an abortion, beyond the ‘choice’. And cosmetic breast surgery is not being made more difficult to receive and blocking insurance companies from even offering it as part of the plans available

And how will you enforce it? Make pregnant women stay locked up until the child is born? Your self righteous sanctimony is as disgusting to me as you probably feel that I am for actually believing that all of this falls in the “none-ya” category.

So leave your “calls” in your church and keep them the hell away from the laws of the land. Keep your beliefs where they do not infringe on the beliefs of those who belief differently than you do.

I don’t like to see my tax dollars spent for the death penalty, for wars of aggression against Iraq, for incarceration of people for non-violent crimes, for military weapons systems that were obsolete when the USSR dissolved. You seem to miss the concept that we are ALL paying for things with our taxes that we don’t agree with. It comes with reality of life as a nation. You get no more of an opportunity to ppick and choose than I do which is none. Live with it and get over yourself.

Abortion is being used as birth control. Usually, if a woman has to have one it’s because she feels abandoned or fears abandonment if she has the baby.

Why do so many insist that they can impose their religious views on others by requiring that abortions be the only legal medical procedure that is not covered? Why should women have to pay for Viagra or Cialis pills for men?

Oh and it was the Catholic Bishops and the Fundamentalists who are imposing their moral views on the rest of us. After all, no one is requiring you to get an abortion if you don’t want one so how is abortion availability “Using the coercive power of the state?” Isn’t legislation that requires a woman to do something against her will using the “coercive power of the state to impose your personal beliefs on others?”

Oh right. It’s always OK when you say it.

But nice straw argument on the bibles. At least you’re original with it.
