Americans are going to have universal health care (Medicare for all) provided by the government. It's going to happen next year. Get used to it.

Living in Canada we have had Medicare for over 40 years and it works quite well. Our Medicare system pays for ABORTION which is deemed as a medical procedure not a crime. Amercan's new medicare bill too will cover abortion, after all 85 % of private insurance plans pay for it and President Obama has said Mediacre will be equal to private insurance.

How do you feel about a woman being able to have an abortion (medical procedure not a crime) which will be paid for by tax dollars - your tax dollars? I'd like to read your thoughts on this subject and please cast your vote in my poll.

From a purely mechanical point of view, it is a medical proceedure, and not one that is banned by federal law.
So that is that question answered. However I get the feeling that that isn't quite the answer you were looking for.

If you are asking about the moral, ethical, or religious view of the taxpayer paying for abortions? - Well that is the weakest arguement of all for preventing this proceedure being performed.
Think about it, Insulin (non synthetic) is harvested from pigs. That'll piss off the Muslim tax payers. How about every blood transfusion? - That'll piss off the Jehova's Witnesses tax payers. What about serving meat to the patients? - Vegan tax payers will object to that.

That's why when setting up things like this you rely on medical advice, not moral advice.

It's early yet but the vote is 100% in favour of the procedure being paid for by Medicare. Bravo my enlightened friends.

Not surprising though one person responded with atypical Conservative, stone-age mental capacity.

Zoom-boing you should consider moving back to the stone-age society of Afghanistan - you'll most certainly feel right at home !

Personal responsibility is not your thing. Got it.
 
medicare not paying for abortion would be a big mistake, a girl who cannot afford an abortion is most likely still going to have one anyways but probably not in a safe way. If she does have the baby, what do you think the chances of her dumping that child somewhere is?

my tax dollars are used for all sorts of legal things that i find morally and ethically wrong.....

if you don't like it ...move....or vote or act to change it....

as for abortion....i really don't care if a woman wants to kill her human fetus .....
 
My friends,

I am PRO-CHOICE when it comes to the abortion question. If a woman choses not to permit parasitic fetal tissue to be in her body her than she should, and does, have the absolute moral and legal right to have the tissue removed.

People who want to deny women that right are dangerous to freedom.

medicare pays for viagra and penis pumps, it can pay for abortions.

it shouldn't pay for any of those, IMO.

Taxpayers should not pay for ANY form of elective surgery.

That means the only time you can get breast augmentation is after surgery for breast cancer. The only time you can ge an abortion is if your life is in danger from the pregnancy (i know i know doctors have already been show to lie when this is the law). The only way you can get viagra is...TO BUY IT YOURSELF. :)

Or you can pay for it yourself.....

IMHO gov health care is a constitutional infringement and will enslave the population. Abortion will not be a concern when the gov does a program to control who can and cannot have children (thru forced sterilizations/less expensive medical treatments) based on: where you live, political party, nationality, sexual preference, etc.
As a 'roman catholic priest' you are teaching against church policies and should not claim to belong to a faith that believes: killing innocent children (based on age), is not the right and proper thing to do for people that have chosen (choice) to act irresponsibly. When you say your prayers tonight, ask Yeshua how many abortions He encouraged. Shame on you.
