Love the variety of opinions on this issue.<br /><br />I am torn pragmatically b/c I really want healthcare to pass, but I don't think leaving off abortion is really going to help that. And I am so liberal I'm a commie, so of course, I support socialized medicine AND abortion.<br /><br />Also, embiggen is from the Simpsons, I think.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270389106604867450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30058350.post-65114557572588731162009-07-30T14:24:43.275-05:002009-07-30T14:24:43.275-05:00It is still funny!
I agree with CJ... while ideal...It is still funny!<br /><br />I agree with CJ... while ideally it would be covered as part of the universal health care plan, I think the most important thing that will improve the lives of the most people would be to get a plan covering preventative care, major illnesses and accidental injuries, and birth control off the ground as quickly as possible. This issue is so divisive that it has the potential to slow this important process down for years.<br /><br />Morally, I believe a woman's legal right to have an abortion is all that is needed to justify covering it in the plan. Control over our own bodies is a basic human right. Our law-making system is designed to protect the rights of the many without undue influence from the religious beliefs of the few. My personal views on abortion--what I would choose for myself--have no bearing on what I feel should be legally accessable for all.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05156777853779141522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30058350.post-41184754459285879912009-07-30T13:44:44.983-05:002009-07-30T13:44:44.983-05:00In regards to your moral health care abortion cove...In regards to your moral health care abortion coverage blog, it seems as if the individual posting the blog wants to build Rome in a day. Is she right? Yes, as abortion is a surgical procedure, it should be covered under a national health care plan. However, when talking about millions upon millions of people without health care, should we be considering the attachment of an abortion clause that could keep the Republican party from supporting the bill, which they are already disinclined to support? In my estimation, like issues of Gay Marriage/Spousal Rights, some things are simply going to take time. As Rome was not built in a day, neither shall a perfect Health care system be conceptualized. As far as moral relativism is concerned, no, we shouldn't insinuate that those who choose to have an abortion are moral or immoral, and these questions shouldn't be considered when posing a bill for a multi-belief nation, but since when don't Americans impose their views on one another? As a person who shares beliefs with feminist ideals, I have to say that the universal treatment of Cancer, AIDS, heart attacks, and illness should be at the top of the health care system concerns, because the diseases are universal to all races, religions, and sexes that reside in the US. Let's get a system in place and modify it later. Abortion and Penis drugs should take the back seat...for now...Just my thoughts...I could be wrong...CJ McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09284806416103275548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30058350.post-64796662184197343792009-07-30T13:38:07.998-05:002009-07-30T13:38:07.998-05:00I skim-read the article.

I think the main reason to leave abortion out is to not alienate the conservatives who are already on the fence or against the health care bill. But, I don't think it will work! (I would vote for national catastrophic health care coverage, but not before standard coverage. I know that severe or chronic illnesses cost a lot and make it hard to get coverage - so I have no problem with the government helping there. But, I don't think they need to be in the basic health care business. It is just too much of a slippery slope of what they will be controlling!)AJU5's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039236630636069326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30058350.post-16090796341326667652009-07-30T13:27:39.694-05:002009-07-30T13:27:39.694-05:00Is "embiggen" a new word?Is "embiggen" a new word?Tripodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30058350.post-13956692731412894812009-07-30T13:22:10.466-05:002009-07-30T13:22:10.466-05:00your waiting room banter is hysterical sarah.your waiting room banter is hysterical sarah.ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11402488064192455038noreply@blogger.com
