[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait. I thought the pill was covered under Obamacare. So right there, 99.9% of all unwanted pregnancies are preventable. So now we are talking about 1 out of 1000 of all pregnancies. Let's say half of them live in a state where it's outlawed, so now one out of 2,000 need to take a bus to a blue state. Now let's say that half of them are too poor for a $50 bus ticket, so we are down to one out of 4,000 pregnancies. Now let's say that she can't get ten of her poor friends and family members to pitch in $4 or $5 each, so we are down to one out of 8,000 pregnancies represented by someone who honestly can't come up with $50.

So if each DCUM liberal, and it seems there are 5,000 of them (at least) contributes $10 to the "poor oerson's abortion bus fund," the will be a fund of $50,000. Now let's add in the other liberal cities, like LA and NY. If million of the UMC in NY does the same, that's $10 million! Add in LA, and another $10 million. So now we have an abortion bus fund of 20,0050,000! That would cover 400,000 bus rides, all from the one in 8,000 pregnancies where the person can't afford a ticket.

All it will take is for 2 million liberals, out of the 50 or so million we have, to pitch in $10. Someone should start a fund. Seriously.

And you’ve maxed out your contribution to the insufferable a-hole fund.[/quote]
And I see another liberal has no way to debate, other than to launch a personal insult at the suggestion or pitching in $10 to help poor people get abortions. [/quote]

DP. I don't know how to debate with someone so uninterested in having an intellectual debate.

You're not making a point up there you're just putting together something that sounds good. Some responses to your ridiculous assertions:

- 50 bucks to get an abortion? It is usually an overnight procedure so you need money to/from bus ticket, a hotel night stay, and insurance to cover the procedure itself. And you have to take off work that may or may not approve you or even offer paid leave. And if you live in a state where its illegal you probably don't have coverage.

- Unwanted pregnancies are the only pregnancies aborted? How about pregnancies that risk the life of the mother? How about pregnancies where they discover a terminal defect at the 20 week scan? And on and on.

- Of course I would chip in $10 to a poor person's abortion fund. But how do you know its going to the right people? Who's going to manage that? How quickly will funds be dispersed?

There's literally nothing in your post that is based on reality.  [/quote]
