    Number one, a fetus is NOT NOT NOT a baby, just like an egg is not a chicken. Number two, you should be asking who is making this an issue. Number three, ask yourself if it is better to help a baby already born that needs that fetal tissue, or if it is better to throw it in the trash. Number four, if the anti abortionists would stop trying to force women to have children they can't afford, there wouldn't be so many children on the street and in prison. It costs a quarter million dollars to raise a child through high school these days. There are three million people in prison today, at the cost of $50,000.00 per prisoner per year. Ending abortion will only double the number in prison.

    Prisons are funded by your tax dollars too. It costs $50,000.00 per year to keep one person in prison. Your tax dollars do NOT fund abortions. Planned Parenthood does NOT fund abortions. Planned Parenthood helps take care of women's health. it DOES supply women with BIRTH CONTROL to keep them from having to get abortions. So ask yourself if you would rather have your tax dollar pay for a birth control pill, or have your tax dollars pay to keep women in prison for having an abortion if the republicans manage to make abortion illegal. There are three million in prison today. If abortion becomes illegal, there will be twice that many in prison.

    If i befriend you here and someday you saw me on the street you wouldn't recognize me.
    What is the same about us
    The breath goes into and out of the body.
    what is different about us, our bodies do not appear the same

    We cannot be both the same person and a different person.

    Something is different and not the same.

    Fetuses cannot breath out side the womb

    The breath has not come into the body



    Waste of natural resources bout as serious as it gets
    we know each other by air
    High

    Health insurance pays for men to get VIAGRA to get women pregnant. Health insurance pays to get women pregnant through in vitro fertilization. But health insurance doesn't pay to keep women from having children they can't afford. And the republicans are out to force women to have kids they can't afford. There are almost 7 billion people on the planet. By 2050 there will be almost 10 billion. The earth can't sustain that many people. But what is really discussing, is the republicans don't take care of the children already born in this country. There are millions of children hungry, homeless and in poverty. Real human beings would take care of the children already here, rather than forcing millions more to be born to people that can't afford to raise them.

    That's what really makes me wonder....most the disadvantaged become democrats....so how come the cons can't figure out that abortions are getting rid of future democrats? That's a lot of democrats!

    Our insurance plan was cut to the bone last year. Forget Viagra or Cialis, they are no longer covered. All we can get is insulin and blood pressure medicine, neither of which we need. Of course they included a "discount" plan for prescriptions, but it still has us paying the lion's share and then only for generics (which are NOT the same as name brand). So I wouldn't worry much about how insurance is supporting erections, it was too good to last anyway.

    As before very little in the way of preventative care is covered either. What's always been odd to me is how many insurance companies have a substantial number of women in their upper ranks and still the coverage for women's issues is marginalized. I happen to adore women and would like to see as many as possible lead healthy lives. I also dislike how the issue of healthcare has become oddly polarized and politicised. Your position is pretty clear, republicans are evil incarnate and responsible for the worst of the worst. I've personally suffered from plenty of democrat and republican blunders over the years that I can't take sides with either.

    I don't see why just because you want to have a child that the government has to help pay and such. The onus is on yourselves, it's your kid, not anybody else's and this is what annoys me when it comes to giving birth is that anybody can do it.

    You go try and buy a car and you need a loan, to pay off loan you need a steady job and income, a good credit rating etc. and this is just for a car, just to buy a car.

    But to give birth? Oh hell no, it doesn't matter if you got no job and no money, kid can starve for all anyone cares. No house? No worries! A shelter is good enough. And this is accepted and appreciated? And if not, it's just a hand out. Pretty whack if you ask me. You should damn well be a responsible adult, with a job, an income and a home to support your children, not holding your hands out for someone else to help. And if this isn't you? Tough luck.

    Hence the quotes. Why the fuck are we debating this? If they are so meaningless, why aren't we making sausage out of them?

    Why put "zygote" in quotes, if what you are talking about is not a zygote?


    Because you seem to be suggesting that PP is doing something that it is not

    Republicans are all about the fetus, they'll do anything to protect that unborn baby. They'll even kill themselves to bomb the clinic, but the second that babies born, they want nothing to do with it.

    Actually Republicans in this instance are members or adherents of the republican party. No mans behavior is predictable in the manner you describe.

    When I was in the hospital for a month with pneumonia last year, our insurance paid 80% of it. Without the insurance I'd still owe over $400,000.00, and that's just the hospital. Then there's the doctor fees and the medicine on top of that.

    Neither the dems nor the repubs have ever done anything about medical costs, like hospitals charging $15-20k per day, or doctors charging $100k per hour, or big pharma charging $500.00 a pill. But at least Obama and the dems have made it possible for insurance companies to cover most of those costs with the AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. When the cons destroy Medicare, it will be a death sentence for the elderly. When cons destroy Social Security, millions of elderly will be out on the street. Prisons will be the new retirement homes.
    It's horrifying that criminals can get free healthcare, but cons are trying to cut off law abiding citizens.

    Correct, because medical care as we conceive always costs something. Does it cost anything to be an individual?
