Listening to the anti abortion people protest any health plan that would

The politicizing of abortion led to the current situation of one-half of
all abortions in Canada being performed at mostly private clinics.
Abortion clinics opened in the first place because hospitals were
failing to provide adequate services on a fair and equal basis for
Canadian women.

Hard to read that document and not see the logic.

Maybe there's some concern about this language: "All abortions are
medically necessary, since it is impractical and discriminatory to
separate out abortions done for "social" reasons from those done for
"health" reasons."

Some folks just don't believe that killing babies should have no
thought behind it whatsoever. I sure don't think I should have to pay
for them.

I am sure lots of thought goes into it. But since I don't have to live
with the consequences caporial or spiratual, I am quite content with
letting the decision be between the woman and the doctor.

Too bad you could take these no-rights people, brutally rape them to get
them pregnent, makes up the arse, then dictate to them like sheep that
they will have the child.

Then when the child gets old enough to ask how they were conceived, they
can be told "?? raped me an so you were born...".
