If the person cannot keep from aborting, she should have her tubes tied and it should be mandatory. Of course, that won't happen (ACLU, etc).
Would've thought the Pill would have solved this problem but seems to be as much a problem now as pre pill.
I guess you'd have to work in a clinic, as I have, and seen babies aborted by vacuum, or worse. It'd make you puke. They look like tiny fully formed humans. It is murder. So, these women either get their plumbing fixed, use the pill, keep their legs crossed - as in use some self restraint. Or they have the child and let some loving couple who can't have kids adopt the child. That'd be in a perfect world. I think if the government has to pay for the abortion then they legally have some say in the matter, don't you? The 'government' is you, after all. Most of these women are medi-cal welfare cases, are they not?
You worked in a clinic doing what, Englishmajor? I'm surprised that you would say "most of these women are medicare welfare cases, are they not?". That is ignorant and mean. It has layers of implications which I won't adress at the moment bc it is not necessary.
Government mandated sterilization?! You have got to be kidding. I have heard so many horror stories of the times where sterilization was forced upon folks here in Canada. It makes me sick.
The government DOES NOT have a say. The government is not "you". It is the collective majority rule. Not every person is going to agree nor have their wishes granted.
Sure, people could decide "we refuse to fund government paid abortions". That would be different.
However, as far as I'm concerned, that would be a step back.
That's politics. I disagree strongly with your views.
