I'm in favor of single payerIs that right? Aren't you all fully in favor of forcing women to pay for health care? Where's her choice!?
I'm in favor of single payer
That is still anti-choice
How?
In a single payer healthcare system, what choice to have?
I thought you were smart enough to not be spoon fed. My bad.
- I can't compare different insurance policies
- I can't buy-up, or buy-down for extra/less coverage
- I can't go to other doctors for faster service
- I can't choose NOT to pay for heath care
And - that's not even discussing the lack of choice from the doctor's prospective
Now - you can answer my question. What choice do I have with single payer?
In what way specific are women not treated equally here?
They aren't allowed to walk around topless in public.
"I've hated this debate since I've since learned of it in high school in the 80s. Back then I was opposed to it, and then I learned how complicated these decisions really are. Even then, I hated all graphic descriptions of fetuses or babies -- whichever your preferred term.
Now, that I support choice, I still hate all the descriptions. I hate more that the assumption is that every woman who gets an abortion does so because she's 16 or younger and doesn't know any better. That's not true. In fact, it's a lie -- which is also a sin.
No, it's not an easy decision, but that doesn't mean it's not the best one to be made at the time. And all those pictures really hurt those who lose their babies naturally. Nothing like rubbing it in their face because you have something to prove that doesn't even apply to them."
“I gave birth to two premature kids,” said California’s Barbara Boxer on the Senate floor last week, during the debate over cutting federal funds to Planned Parenthood. Boxer sounded impatient, irritated. “I just don’t like lectures by men about what it’s like.”
My guess is the people that benefit the most from the info below won't read it for whatever reason.
But, the
Funny thing is, it is the first female opinion to this forum of this endless and at times silly debate that seems to rear it's head in every policy discussion.

Sixty-one percent of women who seek abortions already have at least one child. More than a third already have at least two children. Women know what pregnancy is and what abortion does. Perhaps it’s this common calculation that keeps so many women (and men) grateful to an organization dedicated to the maintenance of women’s bodies. An NBC News–Wall Street Journal poll, released after the fetal-parts videos, showed Planned Parenthood with a net favorability rating of 45 percent, higher than Donald Trump, the Democratic and Republican parties, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, the Supreme Court, and the National Rifle Association.

Abortion is about the only issue the left favors "choice" on.
