PP has no sliding fee scales for abortion services? I doubt that.

That's their plan in the nut shell.

The rest is just a sick joke talking point.
Notice how conservatives are the only people who can figure out how to function in society and/or not die without handouts? That should tell you something.

This line always floors me.. LOL..

Yes, indeed you are NOT the one popping out the baby.

BUT babies don't exist without men. Therefore they are equally culpable.

Why should woman pay more in health care because they bare the children?

Unless that child is conceived by immaculate conception..they shouldn't.

Now... maybe you aren't putting yourself in a position to impregnant people.. but not all woman are putting themselves in a position to be impregnated either.. yet they would still be charged more because of their sex....

You know what's funny? Like a lot of people on here, you say "you're setting me up for hardship." So, basically, so that your problems don't affect you, you want it to affect me. That makes sense.
No, what I'm saying is that we need to un-tether health insurance from employment completely to ensure that responsible people who have paid their premiums for years without fail cannot be tossed to the curb when businesses decide to re-structure.

They shouldn't. Both the mother and father of the illegitimate child should bear the costs of having the child. And only them, unless they can guilt trip their own parents to pony up.

That's a fair point then, because insurance being provided by companies is a relatively new thing. Companies should only pay people a salary and you do with it what you want. You know why they started getting into insurance? Because of wage freezes by government. So once again government created the problem.

Why would it have to be assisted? Just commit suicide. Instead, you want a doctor to do it for you.


Not necessarily. Many just want the freedom to have access to the drugs that will accomplish the deed most efficiently without government interference.

You can, just pay for it. Yourself.

Time for them to sell the 800 dollar IPhone and brand new car that they can't afford and stop sucking the system and people such as myself dry.

And quickly and painlessly.

Slowly withering away from terminal cancer is inhumane to the patient and far more expensive than allowing the option for them to breathe into a special euthanasia mask and immediately drift away.
