The result of closing these facilities is that wealthy women will have access to abortions but poor women cannot. Repeat - the result of closing these facilities is that wealthy women will have access to abortions but poor women cannot. Continue now with it's a life, birth control accessibility, keep his legs closed, blather.

They cut funding period. Stop the abortion portion and get your funding back.

This is not far off the AHCA discussion, these people don't give a rats rear end about health care. Someone needs to explain what this accomplishes because it sure doesn't prevent abortions and more than likely creates more unwanted pregnancies.
It might.

As has been the case since the beginning of time.

It might.
So poor women need to suffer because some congressmen don't like abortion?

I am assuming you are too old to be a fetus.

Absolutely.


Why do we even need to watch The Handmaids Tale when we can watch it play out in conservative states?


These Republican lawmakers would most certainly enforce childbirth if they could.

The ones who do not want to fund abortions have the most votes. It takes more than a congressman. Thousands of men and women have brought this about.

I say put them on every street corner. Some people shouldn't be parents. I don't want to pay for more prisons. Bible-thumping taliban can only adopt so many unwanted babies. Harvest the fetuses for stem cell research

And mother nature aborts many more fetuses than are ever aborted in a clinic.

While you may just melt at the thought of that poor little baby, I cringe at the thought of compelling women to go through 40 weeks, almost a year, of pregnancy, with all the expenses, all the risks, all the permanent changes to her body that that entails. I cringe at the idea of forcing women to take risks, when you have no idea of what those risks might be. I cringe that you think that if she doesn't want it, she should still give up almost a year of her life in an unwanted pregnancy, and then trying to get her life back to normal after giving birth. And I say normal because she can never get her life back to what it was before she got pregnant.

Women should be entitled to use birth control to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, and if she still gets pregnant, she should be entitled to say no. SHE is a living, breathing, thinking human being. The fetus is not.
To be fair: if talking up to 3 or 4 months; abortion is between the woman and her "God". When hitting 5 months or later; there better be a damn good medical reason to end the pregnancy IMHO, like the mother's life is in danger or the fetus is seriously messed up.
