I think it would be a bad thing for abortion to cost less than contraceptives

Actually, if by usual capitalistic means it should happen to be cheaper I don't see a problem with it. Other folks paying for it though seems unfair.

LOL

20 cent abortions......

dear god....

LOL, if the issue is resources public funded abortions make lots of damn economic sense. Cut plenty of welfare checks down to size 😆

Just the same old thing...pay for the smokers, pay for the drunks, and why not throw abortions in there too?

because both alcohol and tobacco are heavily taxed so that the eventual burden to the public is lessened?

Conservatives b*tch about abortion, and then b*tch about welfare.

Abortions should certainly have public funding if the state is going to have to pay for the child. If you want the stop the public funding of abortions, figure out a way to deal with the kids.

I don't even agree with Abortion, so why should my tax dollars have to pay for people to have them? 🤨

Besides the next step from this is forcing women to have abortions (which has been done before in Europe)

Let people pay for their own stuff.

all public systems assume that the sacrifice of the many is worth the benefit to the individual

For instance, Christians still have to pay taxes on education for schools that teach evolution.

My favorite one is that Drug users pay the police to arrest them and put them in the jails they already paid for.

That's for one not the same step and can you give me a source on that happening in Europe thing?

Personal "agreement" shouldn't be the deciding reason to have taxes. I don't agree with how welfare payments are carelessly given out, there's no motivation for people on welfare to get off welfare, yet, my taxes go to welfare.

That's a far reach don't you think? I'm not for this either, but let's not get ahead of ourselves with the "society of doom" mentality.

Apparently, both Obama and John Edwards support funding abortions through universal healthcare.

Now considering how much of a hot topic even ALLOWING abortions is; do either of these guys actually think that they can win their parties nomination by saying that taxpayers must pay for a procedure that about half of the country is against anyway?!?

And even if you're pro-choice, do you actually believe that abortions should be publicly funded?!? 🤨

100% of American taxpayers are funding a war that less than 40% of Americans support. How is this any different?

Well first I think birth control should be covered on all health plans. As for public funding what is the difference for health care for smoker, drug addicts and so on?

It's paid for on the NHS in this country you can go private if you want to but most don't. It works perfectly well.

It really ticks me off that it is not covered by all health plans even for medical reasons, such with my wife she doesn’t use it primarily for birth control but for her hormones. If she didn’t take the pill it would put her in the hospital every month but it is not covered and the plans that do are well out of our budget range to afford.

Y-yes. I figured my humorous satire illuminated just that.
