Oregon Set to Pass Free Funding of Abortions

[Badger]

Right now, somewhere in the United States, ExtremeRepublican's head is literally exploding.

This is a waste of tax payer money

Because......?

"I'll never need an abortion?"

[Badger]

If one is medically necessary, of course your health insurance should pay for it - just like they would any other medically necessary procedure.

But while I support people's right to choose to have an abortion, the very fact that it is a choice 99% of the time - that is, not necessary - is why it's ridiculous to mandate insurers pay for all abortions.

We might as well mandate coverage for nose jobs and breast implants.

Read these two sentences you typed in the same post very slowly back to back.

Do you really not think there's maybe even a teensy difference in medical necessity between most abortions and rhinoplasty/boob jobs?

More to the point, isn't there just the slightest difference in the effect on one's life between having an unwanted child to raise vs. not being able to upgrade to a D cup?

The government being involved in family planning is hardly an abstract act of frippery.

I 100% support this bill. Why place roadblocks in the way of someone getting an abortion? If they want an abortion, it's better for them, that fetus, and society that they do not keep it. The fewer unwanted children or ones that cannot be adequately provided for, the better off everyone will be. Only a tiny number of women would ever elect to have an abortion unless they felt it was necessary, so making it harder, particularly for low-income women and those underage, is helping what, exactly?

Cause the government shouldn't be funding morally questionable things(and I'm not talking legislating it just funding them )

The irony here is delicious, yet so over your head.

Both the far left and far right have lost their minds and those are the people running this country

So the Modi fan is now the model of centrism?

Hey all you guys here, remember that YOUR gender is responsible for ALL pregnancies that occur.

It's so easy for men to talk about abortion with only the females in mind. YOUR private part was included in the fun. If ALL men took precautions when they had sex with females, then there would be FAR FEWER pregnancies.

Men are just as responsible for not bringing unwanted children in the world as females are. Both parties need to take responsibility when they have sex.

I am especially tired of hearing all the moralistic men out there judging females wanting abortions and being against help for females having them. Then do your part and never have unprotected sex unless you are definitely wanting children.

There are many factors that go into a female's decision to have an abortion that men cannot fathom. Keep your moralistic judgment for your own actions.

This post, notwithstanding Virginia's disagreement, is proof positive why we need many more female posters.

This is the first I have seen about this awful news.  I would strongly consider avoiding all travel to the state of Oregon due to sales tax, etc. directly funding abortion (not that I had any plans to go there anyway).  If the left can boycott states, we should do so as well!

You're too young to drive. They should worry about you boycotting their state because.....?

what has he done is far right


His economic policies is about as right wing  as Reagan's was  (which is center right )

His social party is center right ( he is not the trump of India , most of the accusations made about him is not true )

His foreign policy is also centrist

Is the ethnic cleansing support center-right or moderate?
