I also think there might be something to this in that if a private fund did exist through which every woman could have an abortion (assuming that the fund amassed to meet the demand), then we wouldn't really need to be paying more than minimum cost. Women wouldn't need to deny that they've been missing periods because they're too scared to confront reality, or they wouldn't have to wait past 12 weeks trying to raise that $413. There are, of course, many exceptions to that, but also consider that the vast majority of abortion procedures are first tri anyway (a fact that pro-choicers stick by adamantly).anti-antihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963034892813934944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387757235421993128.post-69305691207258263392009-08-19T13:45:04.163-04:002009-08-19T13:45:04.163-04:00It is never a good idea to expect non-profits or c...It is never a good idea to expect non-profits or charities to be the primary source of funding for anything that people need--health care services, food, etc. <br /><br />There are many things my taxes go toward that I disapprove of--the war, for example--but that doesn't mean I say, "Oh, supporters of the war will certainly be able to foot the bill." That is just ridiculous. <br /><br />Also, since many non-profits receive government funding for programs, changes would have to be made in US legislation to allow this money to subsidize abortion. Or, is she expecting individual donors to pay for abortions? Again, ridiculous.KT My Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07045966201880044927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387757235421993128.post-1215453420369536252009-08-19T11:13:08.298-04:002009-08-19T11:13:08.298-04:00Nice.

It's clear that her heart is in the right place, and frankly, I'm also an advocate for the pro-choice movement to go it alone and put an end to this bipartisan farce that health care reform is turning into. This is obviously a person who has never worked in abortion services, and has lofty ideas (so lofty) about what it would take to make a private abortion dealie happen. But like the author, I have NO interest in finding common ground on an public abortion option; ain't gonna happen.anti-antihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963034892813934944noreply@blogger.com
