Don't worry--if we get Obama's healthcare implemented, you will have a waiting period---------- just to wait.

Obama's health care plan is off topic but if you'd care to post proof that waiting periods will be longer under his plan I'll be happy to read it.


Now, here's a story of how an Insurance company made the INSURED wait until he died so they wouldn't have to pay. A Real Death Panel

Why would these abortions be different from any other abortion?
Primarily because rape and incest are by their nature involuntary.

Life of the mother should be obvious

With the advent of nearly fail-proof contraceptives, it's highly unlikely that someone who advocates a woman's right to her own body would get pregnant by accident. If you're born to parents that are pro-choice, you should feel blessed to know that they actually wanted you.

It does not matter where I am on this spectrum. The courts made the decision on this. It was never in my hands and it never will be. My opinion will not change any laws.

And even if it did I do not believe I can legislate my beliefs or my morals on this country.

I do not agree with abortion, but the only decisions I have control over are my own.

Just can't answer the question, can ya?

I'll change it and see if you can find another loophole:

Are you one of those who think UHC means the government will come between between the doctor and their patient....and are against that?




IWonderWhy1: """Primarily because rape and incest are by their nature involuntary.

You say you're against abortion.

The results of an abortion are the same no matter what caused the pregnancy.

Why do you change your mind if it's incest , rape, or endangers the life of the mother?

I wonder how many anti-abortion individuals in this topic have (seperated) parents that got married in order to save face thanks to the unwanted baby their parents had insisted they have because abortion is ungodly.
