Then YOU pay for it, not me. It isn't a matter of "cheaper" it is a matter of right vs wrong. Carried to it's absolute conclusion, and it would probably be "cheaper" to carpet bomb portions of major urban areas Quote HistoryQuoted:

In the long run, it is probably cheaper for the taxpayer to just pay for the abortion up front when you really think about it. Little angry huh? You do pay for it sir. You also pay more for welfare. On the list of things the government does that I consider "wrong", funding for elective abortions are not near the top. |

To the part in red  . EVERYBODY has an opinion on abortion. Hell just look at this website and all the mudslinging every one of these threads bring up.
To the part in blue that is completely different. You are talking about making something illegal that is a current legal activity. A better analogy for this topic would be should we be using taxpayer funds to conduct background checks? The answer is we already do. Its called NICS. Like it or not, we aren't getting rid of NICS for FFL transactions. Oh, they have an opinion alright...but it doesn't affect them much in major elections. Republicans and Democrats tow the general party line on it and everyone votes over what really matters, like sound bites and secret recordings. From a Republican viewpoint, this was a great bill. It pleased the fiscal and social conservative base without actually attacking abortion itself. It also had no chance of actually becoming law, the perfect scheme for a grandstander. If you seriously think a moderate voter is pulling the lever for Hillary in 2016 over this non-issue...that's crazy. |

But no, they picked a big divisive issue that the low information voters will interpret as those evil Republicans and their war on women, trying to ban abortion, again. Why do we feel the need to pander to the low information voters? Obama. Twice. So to save ourselves from Obama, we need to become Obama? Please. |

I support free taxpayer funded abortions to anyone who wants one. Better a small expenditure now than a large one later. Plus we could get some economies of scale going, making the overall cost per abortion pretty low. Also build the facilities right next to groups who oppose abortion, because fuck those people.

There is nothing wrong with providing compensation and benefits to government employees. A family health plan is common place in the private sector and as long as it is valued similarly, I have issues with police, firemen or any other gov workers having a health plan.

the vast majority of tax payer monies already go for things the majority of tax payers do not want abortion is just one more of those.
IMO abortion is murder of a tiny human being who has no advocate to speak on his/her behalf....my guess is if the pre born human were allowed a say in whether it "chose" to submit to being gruesomely murdered it would no doubt choose life instead. Pro Choice for everyone except the victim |

You even said yourself conservatives pander to voters, in this very thread. True. But the idea of abandoning core principles to placate a few wishy washy douchebags drives me nuts. I don't think issues drive elections. Perception of the candidate and his image is the driving factor. This is why I think Romney can beat Hillary, where he stood no chance against Obama. Obama is too charismatic a campaigner for a lump like Romney to beat. McCain? Rofl. But Hillary? She screams bitchy cunt neighbor woman. Men and women alike hate bitchy cunts. Sure, her rabid base of butch lunatics will be behind her...but she has a habit of coming across as a bitch, and a huge perception as such. Should she win the nomination...she will have an uphill battle in 2016. Not insurmountable, by any means, but the main issue in the election that will never be stated out loud is "Do you think Hillary is a bitchy cunt? If 'Yes' vote Romney, if 'No' vote Hillary". ETA: Romney is far from my ideal candidate, nor do I claim him as a possible. It is easy to use his Campaign against Obama as a comparison to a campaign against Hillary. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I'm torn. On one hand, it's infanticide. No two ways about it. And I think many people will agree that killing babies isn't a good thing, whether doing it for the convenience of abortion or the sport of feeding them to hungry bears in pits, ala Mongol-style. On the other hand, short of sky-scorching nuclear war, enough abortions are probably the countries best bet for surviving at least a while longer. Setup free clinics on every corner in various cities, and many problems would be solved within a generation. Heck, pay women to get them, still be a net win. And sterilization. |

Abortion is MURDER!
I would rather not have any of my money fund murder. It should be illegal to KILL babies just like it is illegal to murder anyone else No funding and outlaw it. PERIOD! |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
cite?......oh that's right..it's your opinion....well, that and a few bucks will get you a cup of coffee. In 2008, just one-third of privately insured U.S. women having abortions used that coverage to pay for their procedures; it is not clear how many of their plans offered full or partial coverage for abortion, or how many women were deterred from using their coverage because of concerns about confidentiality. Among women having abortions that year, methods of payment included paid out of pocket (almost 60%), private insurance (12%), and Medicaid (20%; almost all of whom lived in the few states that use their own funds to cover medically necessary abortions) Jones RK, Finer LB and Singh S, Characteristics of U.S. Abortion Patients, 2008 , New York: Guttmacher Institute, 2010 As said above the average abortion cost aproximately $450 USD Jones RK and Kooistra K, Abortion incidence and access to services in the United States, 2008, Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, 2011, 43(1):41–50. There were roughly 1.2 million abortions performed in 2008 Jones RK and Kooistra K, Abortion incidence and access to services in the United States, 2008, Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, 2011, 43(1):41–50. at 20% being covered under medicaid that puts 240,000 abortions being covered under medicaid. So at $450 USD this would be $108million spent on abortions per year. Again though, when compared to the $6.7 billion spent per year on WIC alone this is a tiny number. |

Maybe next we should propose that grenade launchers be sold in mall vending machines. I like this idea, there are times when you really need a grenade launcher but it's such a pain to carry one around all of the time. |

Apparently if you are not personally paying for abortions you are a hater, a racist, and therefore a Conservative and yep, a Republican.....you could be a couple of other things but that's enough.
I believe abortion funding should be private.....it's really all about personal freedom. |

Yes I agree with the majority of Americans that NO taxpayer funding shall be used for domestic and international abortion.
Most Americans Support Abortion Restrictions, Majority Oppose Taxpayer Funding of Abortions I do not support the minority of these fiscal liberal radical progressive leftists who want to expand the provider state with taxpayer funded abortion.

Yes I support it.
I don't care if some stupid twat goes and has her crotchfruit cut out of her. But I shouldn't have to pay for it either. She is the one that has to stand in judgement at the end of times not me. |

You want an abortion...pay for it out of your own pocket...same goes for birth control.
