Health care should not vary state by state.

why not? People in AL may not want the same health insurance options as people in CA.

Should people in AL not be allowed to have colonoscopies?

Should they be forced to pay for frostbite coverage?

[FlameHeart]

So not wanting to kill babies is a high horse?

[FlameHeart]

How is it healthcare when it results in the death of one person and the potential maiming of another?

[FlameHeart]

Sometimes you have to give a little in order to get. At least there is more restrictions on abortion than there was previously, which is good.

Personally I think all abortions should be illegal and there needs to be access to more resources for struggling mothers.

No. I don’t want to kill babies either.

[FlameHeart]

It’s a crime against humanity and God.

[FlameHeart]

How is killing a baby safe? And it has high risks.

They can’t find any of the colonoscopy centers located there?

If health care can be limited by states, someday a state might outlaw them…

I can’t speak for Ben, though I suspect he has the same position as I do.

I don’t WANT to allow it. But the current sociopolitical reality is that’s how it works today. It’s the only way it can work today. And I can’t stop it.

And why is it that way? Because there are so many abortophiles out there that it can’t be any other way. Abortophiles just like you, TNT. You have your abortion rights, so revel in it. Fight to maintain those ersatz rights to kill your own child and to argue for the continuation of others to kill theirs. Fight as well to turn those states that do not want to allow it, for you can’t stand to accept that there are people and places that certainly DO consider abortion one of the most egregious violations of basic human rights.

lol. Abortophile.

I, like you, will never have an abortion, so it’s not something I could love or hate.

What law prohibits the handing out of birth control as #govcheese?

I guess the answer to that would depend under what jurisdiction, federal or state, the cheese was being handed out, because our system is governed by the rule of law and constitutions, federal and state.

Where in any constitution? Founders’ or author’s intent?

If it’s not in the constitution…?

Is this Stupid Sunday and I missed a memo?

@WuWei

Look it up.

So you are for abortion on demand because Black women get more abortions than white women. Ok then.

[WuWei]

Would that be a problem for you?

We’re not discussing insurance and payments. We’re discussing a state outlawing health care.

If they can do it for abortions, why not colonoscopies. Or root canals.

[WuWei]

I am. Obamacare requirements.

What demographic is aborting?

from 2021 pew research

“42% of all women who had abortions in 2021 were non-Hispanic Black, while 30% were non-Hispanic White, 22% were Hispanic and 6% were of other races.”

That stat makes no sense. Why don’t you link to it?

42% of all women who had one … Who were the other 58% who had one?

[johnwk2]

@tnt

@johnwk2

And then there is that pesky thing called the rule of law, and our federal and state constitutions.

What are you even talking about?

it’s not about what I’m talking about. It’s about what you were AGREEING TO [handing out birth control as government cheese] to which I responded as you quoted me above.

Try paying attention, especially to you own comments.
