Thanks, but I don't need her to tell me something I already know. Why don't you call her and discuss it.

No and doctors have the right to choose to not perform an abortion.

Abortions are easily preventable and plenty of tax dollars go to sex education. Getting pregnant does not jeopardize your life and is non-threatening (barring some extreme circumstances). Its not the same as treating tuberculosis, a broken shoulder, or cancer.

People need to accept responsibility for their sexual escapades and not expect other people to bail them out on this highly contentious issue.

And, you know that it is a group of House Democrats who oppose abortion who are raising the issue.

GD.. you need another option. You need to add that if they do not allow a woman to have the procedure covered under their medical coverage then they need to offer coverage for other options..

See my post in the other thread you started on this topic as to why..
I guess a third option is:

It depends

Well - You may "know it". But obviously, She does not "know" it. Nor does the House Majority leader.

Question for you: How is it that you know more than they do on the topic??

Here's my question;

What are the rules regarding those that are on Medicaid who recieve medical benefits from tax payer money in regards to abortions?

Because the only ones recieving medical care through taxpayer money are medicaid recipients.. and under reform it would be anyone that has their medical policies subsidized by the government?

Everyone else who pays the premiums , whether they pay for the private insurance option or any public option, are paying for themselves.. and so it should be allowed for them should they so choose. Because they are paying for it themselves.

In today's culture, Most abortions are a matter of convenience. No different that a face lift or a boob job. I don't believe that taxpayer dollars should be used for convenience operations.

Now if the mother's life is threatened by carrying full term then that's a horse of a different color.

OK, I'd like request a favor:

It seems that there are some here that suggest the use of Federal Monies for Abortion procedures is already prohibited. That's fine if that is there position.

However, the intent of this thread was simply to get a flavor for how many would, or would not, approve of their tax dollars being used for abortions. It does not matter if a law currently prohibits it or not - for there is movement in the Congress to amend the law in question.

So, instead of focusing on one issue, in a clear attempt to INFLAME a thread, how about lets simply stick to the topic?

OK??

I don't care who raises the question. For people like you and Roysoldboy everything is always Dem vs Repup, but I don't care. There is already a law which bans such funding, so the ignorant Congressors be it "R" or "D" might do their homework before embarrasing themselves in front of the nation.

Currently (and its been this way for a while), federal tax dollars cannot be used to fund abortion procedures.
