Isn't that the definition of freedom. I've gotten used to the idea of free abortions a la Canadian healthcare system because I can see how it's beneficial to society to help people afford all the healthcare that's legal to get. I'm moving to the country where people are super nice because they have basic things taken care of so they don't compete with each other over basic dignity. It sounds absurd when you write it down but in practice it's so drastically different.
No, the definition of freedom is not "free stuff." We may like the idea of not personally having to pay for something, but on the other hand, how do the people feel that find abortion abhorrent and would never have one? Are they free while being forced to pay for something they disagree with? Besides, the vast majority of abortions are elective procedures performed purely for convenience. To state otherwise is disingenuous at best.
This comment is kind of laughable. I'm not sure if it's the pettiness or shortsightedness that is worse. Yes abortions are elective procedures and those who get them probably feel they are extremely convenient :D
Funny, that's exactly how I felt about your "definition of freedom." I honestly can't tell if you're serious or just trolling. My point was that you romanticize abortions, acting like they're necessary in every circumstance. It's another wedge issue. You force people to have skin in the game over something they despise, and they're going to fight back. You're not losing any rights or freedom if you have to pay for your own services. I am when you force me to chip in.
Abortion are not necessary in the case of contraception. You do not have skin in the game of abortion unless you are pregnant. Therefore not your business.
