States considering expanding Medicaid to address abortion.

[Zincwarrior]

everyone has access to healthcare and to claim otherwise is just a lie,,

That's not true actually. Prenatal care is very expensive and needed for the health of the mother and proper development of the child.

Weren't they?

according to you baby killers abortion is healthcare,,

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

according to you baby killers abortion is healthcare,,

What baby have I killed? Did you call the police and file a report?

I never saw you make a valid one.

You are arguing morality. This is about reality.

Not prenatal that I am aware of.

Not prenatal that I am aware of.

its called planned parenthood,, I read that to mean they help you get ready to be a parent so what other care could they provide but prenatal??

But not everyone can afford that access.

Condoms are cheap.

 

[pknopp]

Condoms are cheap.

Adults are addressing the issue.

 

[Lisa558]

Adults are addressing the issue.

Yes, and if these girls and young women would insist that the guy put on a condom, the need for abortion would drop by 95%.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Well I guess the posts here have answered the OP's question.

 

[progressive hunter]

Yes, and if these girls and young women would insist that the guy put on a condom, the need for abortion would drop by 95%.

what about them taking birth control??

 

[pknopp]

Yes, and if these girls and young women would insist that the guy put on a condom, the need for abortion would drop by 95%.

That might happen if some didn't fight against sex education for those of procreation age or about to get there.

 

[Lisa558]

what about them taking birth control??

Yes, that too. At the MINIMUM, they can buy a can of spermicide and also insist the guy use a condom. Combined, the need for abortions would drop by 98%.

I don’t think anyone is doing that. And even if that’s the case, a RESPONSIBLE young adult can get a book out of the library (ooops….I’m showing my age)…. I mean log onto the computer, and read about some options.

Not in Texas.

 

[Lisa558]

Not in Texas.

In Texas, a young lady can’t log onto her computer and learn about some basic birth control options? Why not?

We aren't going to go full illegal abortion but if you truly are pro-life, you have to support things like this.

I'm tired, as a conservative and a Christian, continually being told by others who don't share my beliefs and view what exactly I must think and do.

How about everyone else?

Here's the deal. I agree that personal responsibility and dealing with the consequences of one's actions are valid arguments to make, however, pro-lifers who essentially want to outlaw abortion in most or all cases also need to be intelligent enough to understand that people are careless, reckless, and make mistakes. The question is if you want no abortion at all (or only allow it in cases of rape) and you know a plethora of women will still end up with unwanted pregnanices regardless of all the birth control options, what is your solution other than allowing an abortion or the child growing up in less than optimal circumstances?
