Abortions for Everyone!

[Michigander_Life]

How long until some company decides that paying for maternity and childbirth coverage is against their religious (financial) interests, but abortions are just fine (cheaper). The war over women's bodies is far from over, folks.

I can't wait for a company to say they'll pay for the abortion but not the birth and see how fast the right-wingers shit themselves.

2. How is it that covering Viagra and similar meds

for men never conflicts with anyone's religion? Why is it that women's rights are always the political football?

3. Women are still second class citizens in this country.

It is despicable.

4. Back in the 80s, a gal pal and I were discussing our pet projects if we had become First Lady

I will NEVER forget hers:

She would have an abortion on national TV!

10. oh yeah... and when Kang wins the election and enslaves humanity...

K&K: "It's a 2-party system, you have to vote for one of us."

Homer: "Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos."

Possibly my favorite Simpsons episode ever.

9. I've always said that if you give

Gpvt or corporations the right to tell a woman that she must continue a pregnancy, then you are also giving them the right to tell a woman she cannot continue a pregnancy.

slippery slope indeed.

11. Or an insurance company . . .

Or an insurance company does the actuarially responsible thing and adds a surcharge to its rates because paying claims for pregnancy and childbirth is much more costly than paying for contraception. we'll see how Hobby Lobby likes paying extra for NOT covering birth control.

12. I pointed that out earlier and it sank like a stone.
