Planned parenthood has performed nearly one million abortions. That’s one million possibilities of the growing and developing of a human being. In Newtown, Conn., it was called murder. What do you call it?

maybe

@memyselfandi, screwed in an airport bathroom? First of all where did that come from and secondly is there something you need to share??

Sorry nothing to share. I was reminding the poster of nationaly known events that prove conservatives are far from perfect and are no better than liberals in sexual matters/values.

January 11, 2013 at 11:18 am People who drink, smoke, and get hurt, only hurt their own bodies. These abortion objectors do not feel they should have to provide a NEGATIVE health outcome to a human being!”

People who drink and drive cause insurance rates to go up and can KILL other innocent drivers. They are prone to violence hence they DO effect others/health. They miss work and cost employers money. Treatment costs money. Ins. pays that hence raising premium cost for others who drink or don’t drink…..
Smoking can cause cancer in others. Causes health issues in smokers children if you smoke in their presence. Causing Dr. bills and rates to go up. Abortion is between the woman and baby. Only 2 effected.
imo smokers /drinkers actions do effect other’s lives.

Health insurance may not be a right but proper affordable healthcare should be. We’re not a 3rd world country. Not everyone can afford tests needed so the healthcare plan aides those people. These will be “working citizens” helping pay for or working off the premium. Religious beliefs do not belong in healthcare laws. Or Scientologists would get away with not taking their children to Drs..

The only way to get a liberal to oppose obortion, is to use a handgun to perform it.

@sickastupd – As I said, “irate feminine rhetoric”. And “emotion”. And if I were Hobby Lobby, I would do away with all employee offered health insurance. As is my right and my choice. Let the employees purchase their own, if they wish. This would remove the legal/religious arguement from the table completely. I am not giving my opinion, or trying to change yours. Just offering an option that the govt may be forcing.

@sickastupd – This is not getting us anywhere. You won’t change my mind, and I won’t change yours. It’s obvious you don’t feel people should be responsible for their own actions, and the govt. should be there to bail them out whenever they ask for it. I feel that people should be responsible, and pay their own way in this world. Drug addicts, alchoholics, the morning after pill insurances have to pay for, these all come from choices people make. And yet insurance has to take care of all these “diseases”, because the govt has been made to feel it’s their responsibility to mandate hand outs to these losers who made these choices. I am sure what I have written will be met with insults and irate feminine rhetoric, but the truth is you’re all emotion. No logic, no objectivity, no real intelligence. Just emotion. That’s all.

So we don’t have another “misunderstanding”, let’s try and simplify this for you citizen and katie. Health insurance is not a morals issue. It is not a religious belief. It is healthcare.

If you, as a business owner, want to offer insurance as part of your employee’s wage, you are now required to cover birth control, because after only 237 short years, women’s health care is beginning to matter too.

No longer can insurance companies fail to pay for things that are unique to women, while covering all things male related. You are free to check with any insurance agent for verification. Of course health insurance for women still costs more, but that’s a bridge we’ll cross at a later date.

Having said that, your arguments on the basis of “morals”, “prevention”, “religion” etc, etc are completely irrelevant.

You both seem reasonably intelligent. To continue to make incendiary and blatantly untrue statements like “pay for others’ abortions”, and “handouts” in this discussion makes you seem uneducated and hysterical.

I respond to lies and poorly researched comments because the public deserves to know the truth, and your missives so far have been opinion – not truth.

@sickastupd – Let’s start a real dialogue here. A simple yes or no question. No rhetoric, just one word. Are most pregnencies preventable? That is, by using the pill, condom, or abstinence, and other than rape, incest, or the preventive measures failing,(which is seldom), are most prenencies preventable? Yes or no.

@sickastupd – You are great at calling people names. What you are not good at is calm, logical, rational thinking. You insult people but you can’t give reasons for what you say or how you feel. And you have no respect for others or their opinions. And I fear that if you had a one on one discussion with someone, you would be lost. All you can do is feel. You don’t have the capacity to think or reason. You never defend a position. You make blanket statements that have no basis. In many ways you are fun to debate with. You are like a novice chess player, fun to try different things with because you know in the end you can always beat.

I don’t care if they only use 1% tax payers money. Aborition is WRONG and everyone knows it. Those of you who believe you should be able to KILL the BABY in the womb, you are so very lucky that your mother desided not to kill you. Arn’t you so damn lucky? Did you ever wonder what made you so wonderful to be lucky enough not to have been murdered? YES a woman has the right to choose…to have sex or not to have sex.

What’s the point of this article?

What else can you expect of this mis leading report that only tells you what they want you to know. What I read in the real report is that only 3% of the money spent is in abortions. The women have to pay for their own abortions. Leaving religion aside, I still believe that it is a WOMANS decision not the publics on what she does with her body. The rest of the people need to mind their own business and take care of themselves. I am somewhat disappointed in NIT that they kepp running this kind of stuff. I was hoping NIT would be impartial and not like the GLOB.

Why doesn’t the woman have her partner use a condom? Pregnancy prevention as well as disease protection.

Great! That’s cheaper than 18 years of welfare and free gubbament lunches.
