retired coach thanks for the graphic, but Obama Care does not pay for abortions. It is a law that no Federal money can be used to pay for abortions- Hyde Amendment. Preventive service is birth control. Pro choice is the day after pill. (not my choice but I don’t believe I can decide for every woman in the U.S.. There are sometimes unusual circumstances and I don’t think a judge should be the one to decide….) Now this is ONE issue. What about saving a life because they HAVE insurance? How about being able to afford insurance? How about NOT going bankrupt? How about preexisting conditions? How about cancer treatments? Insurance companies actually like the plan because they have more customers…

Where to begin with this screed-like diatribe? First, the purpose of business is to make money. Those of you out there who have any funds at all in any sort of retirement plan had best hope that the businesses your plans are invested in are doing their very best to make money. Second, insurance is a business. Insurance businesses gamble that you will not need to make a claim on them. To make money or just to stay in business (thus providing jobs to those who work for them – we don’t much think about that, do we?), they need more people paying for insurance than make claims on the company. When insurance is forced to cover everyone equally, then they will go out of business on account of they, unlike the Fed, do not have license to print money. Third, how come no one is up in arms because men are required to pay for their own condoms? I think there’s secret War on Men that is being waged by the Obama Administration and NARAL. Fourth through Seventeenth I’ll have to leave to others.

Preventative services, women’s rights, and pro-choice are three different issues! Pap smears and mammograms are preventative care. Isn’t pre screening for breast and cervical cancers important enough to be covered by insurance? What about preventing pregnancy in the first place by offering contraception at low cost? Then there would not be a “choice” to be made. Have you ever considered that some of these women do not have husbands to help them pay for these expensive services? Should they forego health care and just die???

This article is so biased and does not do the union any favors. Pure trash.

“President Obama’s health care law guarantees women access to new preventive services.”

So it is Ok to painfully dismember innocent pre-borns at any stage of their fetal growth?

IS THIS WHAT YOU MEAN BY “PRO CHOICE” AND “PREVENTIVE SERVICE” AND “WOMENS RIGHTS” ???
