So?
..... So? Like I said, I don't like paying for a quadruple bypass because some idiot wanted to eat cheeseburgers and donuts 5 times a week. Educate people about how to eat properly. Educate people about safe sex.
Yup, exactly.
The point being is that it doesn't matter what you or I like... this is how it is, these are the health issues covered by our health care and if you plan on removing coverage for one, you have to remove coverage of all..... and since that will never happen, there's nothing more to debate in this aspect.
AKA: It makes no sense to try and justify removing abortion being covered if the others mentioned above, and then some, are left covered and will most likely never be removed from coverage.
So tell me, how many of those "everyone" would suggest it's good to pay for cheeseburgers/donuts per week, abortions whenever someone got too lazy to use a contraceptive? Not very bloody many, I bet.
Your assumption is irrelevant. I personally think it's good to cover these things, because I know that there's a very good chance that you, I and many other people are going to be hit with one illness or another that could have been prevented in one fashion or another. Since none of us are perfect and we all make mistakes or bad decisions in life, it's foolish to assume everybody should be punished by denying coverage when they need it, simply because they don't fit into the cast of a perfectly moral and infallible human being you subjectively specified.
The whole point of universal health care is to ensure that anybody who needs medical help/coverage, regardless of who they are, what they did, their religious beliefs, gender, race, etc..... that everybody gets medical attention when they need it.... Not when you think they should get it because of hangups over what they may have done in life.
Accidents happen. Just as in contraception, accidents happen. But social reasons for abortions are just inane. Those are being stupid deliberately, not accidents. It's called negligence.Enough.
It doesn't matter how they came to be in their situation, it doesn't matter about their personal reasons or decisions..... a doctor is supposed to treat all patients equally and when someone needs treatment for something that is legally allowed in our country, they're supposed to do it, no matter what the background of the situation is. Damit Jim, they're doctors, not Judges, .... they should act like one.
Even murderers are supposed to get the same level of care and treatment as you and I, even if you think they should be left to die.
Right. Pure negligence. Start paying for it and the rate of negligence will drop.
No, it'll just be swept under the rug as people start seeking alternative measures and while some stats on paper may show a big drop in abortions performed in hospitals, People are being put in greater danger because they either can't afford to get the treatments they may or may not need.... you'll have more babies tossed in dumpsters, being killed and tossed away, people so scared to figure out what the right thing to do is and take matters into their own hands, sometimes causing even more harm to themselves, or even death.
So you have to ask yourself something. Is it better for these "unwanted" babies to be aborted while still in the womb, or is it better that they're born, take their first breath and see the world they've been brought into, only to be suffocated and dumped somewhere.... or worse, just tossed in a dumpster alive to slowly starve and freeze to death?
People talk about costs of abortions, yet how much does it cost tax payers to find a half dead baby in a dumpster, try and save it through medical intervention, and even if it survives, what's the cost of keeping it alive, finding a home for this baby, the cost to law enforcement to track down, arrest and prosecute the person who left this baby to die?
I bet it's a lot more.
Baloney. Both of us get our physicals every year (out in the real world) and stay healthy. Living in a bubble is not feasible. So quit exaggerating. You're starting to sound like SPA.
I haven't seen a doctor in almost a decade, thus since I hardly use our health care, I guess I should have all sorts of money coming back to me.
But heading out to that physical means you have to go out in public, cross the street, drive a car, risk your health and life against things you could easily avoid if you just locked yourself away.
Get the doctor to do a house call.
