Am I the Only One Who Sees the Train Wreck Coming?

Posted on 12 November 2009 by Sandra

The proposed Health Care bill is headed to the Senate with a provision that it will not cover abortions. Fine abortion is thing no young women should have to endure. But what happens now?

Young women will not buy abortion coverage because no one plans to have one. We all assume it will never happen to us because we are careful, right?

Let me paint you a picture: young girl just getting by in the world gets pregnant and she can not afford to have a baby. So she has to ask the question pay now or pay later? Does she pay the thousands tomorrow to have an abortion or pay for delivery and child care for the next 18 years. I know what you are thinking – yes, a baby is always an amazing gift.
I just want to make the point that this closet abortion ban is cruel if lawmakers do not make birth control a priority of this bill.

If we are going to sell abortion coverage for young women why not sell child support coverage for the boys? Both are ridiculous.
