Since when is abortion a "basic health-care need"? Current law prevents the federal govt from paying for abortions. Medicaid does not pay for abortions. Why should this change? If health reform can't be done consistent with current law, then either change the law or have the federal govt stay out of the health insurance business. I should add that based on the recent house vote a majority of our elected representatives support restrictions on abortions. Afterall the amendment did pass. Sorry Ruth, you are in the minority on this one.
a. oh, the minority is always wrong...? well, i guess the majority is always right. huh. isn't the majority of this country liberal? b. ruth isn't in the minority as far as actual citizenry. c. most major health plans cover abortions.
Acutally donnybrook, a) the majority of the country is conservative by recent polls, not liberal and b) who cares if private money is used to provide abortions, we are talking about Federal money so, c) your post makes absolutely no sense.
As some of you knuckledraggers would say, I am high on the Obama kool aid, but I say no money for abortions. Sorry, I am all for a woman's right to choose, but it is their choice, so it should come from their pocket. Unless, the mother will die i.e. medically necessary.

thanks, you're so sweet, blackhawk. i'm glad you're not a cranky pants like so many posters. take a deeeep breath, chief.
I keep hearing, simultaneously, that a.) a high percentage of Americans use contraceptives, and b.) we have so many abortions because "the right"/the Church/pro-lifers don't promote contraception. Which is it, Ruthie?
Abortion a "basic health care need"?? I was unawre that pregnancy is a disease. Ruth, you gotta be kidding.....
