Women’s Center

Some places in the US don’t have access, very limited access, or constricting laws. What would you do to fix that?

Fix lack of abortion services? For that you would have to repeal the Hyde Amendment that prohibits federal funding for abortion. Then every state would be forced to cover it in their Medicaid programs like California and New York already do.

Then abortion servies and the poor would not be discriminated against. Congress set up the Medicaid program to equalize medical services between the rich and poor. To deny poor women abortion services while paying for childbirth is unfair. It removes reproductive freedom and defies both common sense and humane public policy. Cutting off Medicaid abortion actually increased poverty by trapping mothers of young children in the poverty/welfare cycle.

If Medicaid pays for pre-natal care and well baby visits to the pediatrician. It is discriminatory to cover one pregnancy option and not the other option. So either Medicaid need to provide women with all their options or none at all. When I say ALL I mean ALL; parenting, adoption and abortion.

Why did abortion only became an issue -after- the women’s rights movement? From where I stand, the true motive of the anti-abortion movement appears to be an underhanded retaliation against the newly acquired rights of women, veiled under a concern for the supposed rights of the unborn.

Ps – Covering abortion in the long run is cheaper than covering the cost of pregnancies and continued medical care for said baby/child.

   They will recruit more loonies to harass everyone that walks through the doors of the clinics.

   Ever thought of taking responsibility.

   I know it is a terrible thought to imagine there would be consequences to casual sex.

   If someone wants to murder their unborn baby in the US, they can find somewhere to have it done. Why should anyone make it easier???

   1) Parental consent laws for females under 18 need to go. These laws often force teenagers (the girls who should not be having babies) into unwanted parenthood.

   2) I get free speech and all, however, clinic protesting should be banned because the intent is merely to harass and intimidate young women.

   make protesting in front of the clinics illegal, those pro lifers have all this time to protest when they could be taking care of some foster kids or helping starving children already here. maybe they could babysit for a single mom who wants to go back to work but no that would make sense.

   We have to look for the THREE DANGERS SIGNS of right-wing lunacy

   1. religiousity
   2. machismo
   3. anti-intellectualism

   If you see ALL 3 in a political candidate, work like hell to defeat him/her.
