This is NOT a Pro-Life or Pro-Choice Stand, It's a Stand Against "Stupid."
The rhetoric monsters are at it again with clever verbiage claiming that "in states across the country, lawmakers are deciding to take women's health care decisions out of their hands. They're passing restriction after restriction and frankly, we're sick of it."
Who is this "we?" Not the women who have been tricked into aborting a child only to live with a lifetime of guilt and trauma!
Abortion should be safe and legal and RARE! It should not be a convenient option for women who were irresponsible, lazy or just to selfish and wish to avoid the hassle of bringing another child into the world.
State legislatures across the country are considering 11 bills that would prohibit some or all private insurance companies from providing coverage of abortion - something that nearly all insurance plans currently include.
Tell them CONVENIENCE ABORTIONS ARE UNACCEPTABLE! Support coverage of birth control and sexual education. Support abortions in cases of rape, incest, and high risk of harm to mother or baby, but NOT as a means of conveniece. If you're too unprepared to have a child, you shouldn't be having sex.
Add your name if you agree that health insurance plans should NOT provide coverage for convenience abortions.
Dear President Obama, Law Makers and Citizens,
Heatlh Insurance should not be a fallback for selfishness or irresponsible intimacy.
