  • Healthcare coverage of abortion.

    Since things are heading another direction, I won't spend time discussing your whole post, but I did want to address one argument: Should Not Include Abortions: This private health care plan should not pay for abortions since other people with differing views contribute to these large groups. Abortions should be born by the two people involved, ...

  • Chinese birth control

    You would think that China with its enormous population would also have enormous problems with sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. Why is that not the case?

  • Pro Life - Hardly

    The pro-life crowd has missed the bus again..Isn’t the financial strain of pregnancy and the health care costs associated with bearing and raising children a coercive factor that leads some women to have abortions? Won’t mothers with great affordable health care be more likely to choose to keep their babies? Isn’t this a good thing?

  • pro-choice,pro-life

    I cannot understand why the pro-lifer's insist on exlcuding abortion from private insurance polices. From the government insurance program yes. Private: Keep your hands off!

  • Abortion fund

    I can't see a private abortion fund in adddition to National Health Care. The British NHS deals with abortion. We can too!

  • Re: Confusing math

    Surely security costs must be factored in? Don't tell me the wingnuts won't picket/stalk/vandalize/assassinate the people and properties associated with such an effort.

  • Everyone has to fund things they don't like with their taxes

    I have to fund the war in Iraq for instance, and the woefully misguided cash for clunkers and bank bailouts. Making abortion be privately funded is foolish, it needs to be better integrated into medicine so that clinics and such aren't so easily targeted, not further displaced.

  • Mind the gap

    I wonder if the moral knot of abortion will ever be thought of as distinct from the legal one. The question begged by the name of the NRLC is: to whom can the concept of rights apply? While universal moral laws presumably touch everyone, specific legal rights can only be guaranteed to citizens of the political community that has established them. ...

  • Re: They're not Pro-life either.

    amethyst wrote the following post at 08/05/2009 10:29 AM: Let us address the problem, shall we? Some abortions are necessary, but most of the abortions performed these days are elective, unnecessary and inhumane. Give some stats (not from a right wing pro life website but someplace unbiased) and we'll discuss. I have no proof of any such ...

  • . . .someone, somewhere, is having a good time.

    The Pro-Life movement calls itself the Pro-Life movement because Pro-Life sounds a lot better than Anti-Sex. Maybe they really do think that Humans are Human starting with conception, but they are far more concerned that the people who have sex be punished. The preferred punishments seem to be Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Children (I'm ...
