"Vox Humana" wrote in message ... "Sheila" wrote in message ... dykerider wrote: "Helen Crames" wrote in message newsgBUc.276159$%_6.32608@attbi_s01... Isn't abortion much more expensive than birth control? Helen Not if the government pays for it. Why should the government pay for it? Its a red herring argument. It appeals to people who want to denigrate what they perceive as a "welfare class." While most people on public assistance are white, "welfare queen" (i.e., "the government pays for it") is code for "unmarried, black woman with children." While I know that OP will strongly protest, that statement has racist as well as classist overtones. It also tries to assert that the government SHOULDN'T" pay for a legal medical procedure because it is against a particular religious point of view. The neo-conservative agenda doesn't accept the role of government in any way that doesn't involve the defense industry or war. Therefore, this is a trifecta of insults. The NeoCons don't want the government paying for abortion because it acknowledges the existence of sex for purposes other than procreation. Uh oh. |
