The overwhelming majority of Americans support significant restrictions on abortion and more women support these restrictions than men.
This means anytime and for any reason abortion is on its way out.
This doesn't mean that when that day comes the welfare rolls will explode because free baby sitters are not readily available as the word "no" and consistent use of contraceptives will make a roaring comeback.
It's always a conundrum. If you don't work you are lazy but if you have kids you should either be able to afford child care (so...have a high income) or afford to stay home and not work (so...be rich). Then you get the stink eye if you don't want kids at all by a society that thinks it's natures way. And if you get divorced and need spousal support because you did stay home you're a golddigger who should stick those 3 kids into the daycare everyone expects you to afford on your new part time minimum wage job(s).
Seriously, woman have enemies on all sides and up the middle. There will ALWAYS be a "war" on them from one idiot or another. Don't pretend otherwise.
Just to post #40. If I'm repeating something, I apologize.

But since the OP refuses to consider that a fetus is another body, inside a woman's, with different DNA, he might never consider that another approach to pregnancy makes any sense at all.
Since when is "Women's Health Care" synonymous with abortion? Women's health care is actually so much more than that!

As long as you are a victim that need them, they benefit power-wise.
Ha, ha! So you think all unwed mothers vote Democratic? LOL, LOL, LOL!
Why should the government pay for born children? They didn't pay for mine. Parents should in most cases pay to take care of their babies. If the government assistance for poor mothers with babies was as insufficient as you claim, why do so many in poverty have so many babies?
The idea by the way it to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Avoid it if you don't want a baby. It is voluntary to create one.
So your magical thinking will automatically stop people from having unprotected sex, and therefore solve the problem? Uh huh.
That's the thing about cons. They're all about what people should do, but when that fails and they're confronted with, you know, "reality," they stick their fingers in their ears and shout "LA LA LA I can't hear you personal responsibility the end."
THE GOVERNMENT DOESNT PAY FOR ABORTIONS. How many times does that have to be explained to you? The teavangelicals are trying to make abortion (paid for by the individual--not the state--no federal funds can be used for abortions by law) completely illegal.

And that is what "Women's Health Care" is about, partially anyway.
Nice deflection I am still waiting to hear the outrage over those women who repeatedly get pregnant.
And I'm still waiting to hear your solution to the problem of people (and I do mean "people," since it takes a man to create a baby, too) having unprotected sex. Magic wand?
Again the magical thinking. "I'm outraged over women having unprotected sex!!! Make it stop! Somehow! Oh, wait ... it didn't stop? Well, I'm against dealing with the problems that come after that. LA LA LA I can't hear you."
