It's a step in the right direction and long over due.
My state has been funding abortions through Medicaid since 1981.
I'm glad to see a city try to catch up with the 17 of us states that already pay for abortions for low income women.
This is for any woman who needs one. The woman doesn't have to live in NYC. All she has to do is be in the city to get the abortion.
New York could become first city to provide abortion funding
Why can't anti-life people like yourself just pony up to pay the Abortionists?
Why do you feel it necessary to impose this on your fellow citizens who actually cherish the gift of life itself?
I do.
I voted in 1981 to allow my state tax dollars to pay for abortions. The initiative passed with a good margin. I voted in the majority.
I've been paying for abortions since 1981 with my state tax dollars.
I've been sending money to Planned Parenthood's fund that pays for abortions for low income women in other states since the 1990s.
I've been sending money to another private organization that all they do is fund abortions and pays for travel and lodging for abortions since the early 2000s.
So when have you helped a single mom? What have you done to back your words with action? Or are you all words and zero action? How many unwanted kids have you adopted? How many foster children have you opened your home to?
"The State" doesn't pay for shit. Instead, taxpayers pay for it,including those who love life.
I can appreciate that you are anti-life, but why make others pay for your own ideas?
Why not let the broad's boyfriend or pimp pony up? I didn't F her, they did- paying for the abortion might get them to act responsibly
Do you believe in democracy and the voice of the people?
That's what happened in my state. It was on the ballot and we voted on it. Those who are anti choice and pro destroying women's lives lost. Those of us who believe in choice and don't want to destroy lives won.
That's democracy. The majority rules. It's obvious to me you don't like and don't believe in the voice of the people and democracy. Even though one of your talking points is to leave it up to the states. Well we the people in my state did just that. Now you have a problem with it. Make up your mind. Or is that leave it up to the states just more of the far right radical extremist lies?
I back my words with action. You don't. I've adopted a child. I was a foster parent for many years in the 90s. I pay for abortions with both my tax dollars and donations.
You are just a person who wants to destroy lives and kill women. You use lies and intimidation to force your beliefs on our nation.
If you don't believe in abortion why not live your life that way and leave everyone else alone? Why can't you be happy living your life as you want? Why do you believe you have the right to force your way of life on everyone else? Why don't you believe in liberty, freedom and democracy?
LOL the man pony up. Are you serious? Our nation believes that the woman is solely responsible for all life that grows in her uterus. Not the man. The woman is shamed and shunned. The man is praised for his "masculinity" and "macho." Men cause pregnancies then walk away without even looking back to see what they've caused. Millions of them even deny their own flesh and blood for the only reason they don't want to pay the cost of raising a child. So the woman is stuck with it. Our society only gets involved if the woman goes on public assistance or the child's safety is in jeopardy. When all men start changing their attitude about pregnancy and take real steps to make sure that every man supports their child then I might think you're serious. But that's not happening. I see posts from you and other far right radical extremists that go on and on calling women sluts, whores and say spread their legs and all kinds of disgusting things yet nothing derogatory about what that man did. So I don't believe you or any far right radical extremist. It's easy to post on a message board.
It's much harder to back your words with action. As evidenced by you and the rest of you far right radical extremists.
