Health care insurance companies don't need to worry about competition from a government health insurance option because it could be designed to insure only those people rejected by the insurance companies. Medicare is designed and functions likewise.

Many teens and women need help and there is help. We want people to get the support they need. We want people to get the love they need. We want people to have someone to talk to and help them when they are pregnant. Please share the truth and whole truth with them.

There are many places that are willing to help them during tough times. Being pregnant is a tough time for every women and they need all the support they can get. That support is available at many websites and organizations.

Share the truth of where they can get the help: http://www.nurturingnetwork.org/clientpacket.html

Love the Mother and the Child.

Share the Truth and Love

as abortion is a matter of choice then those who want it should be the ones to pay for it.We who dont want abortion should be free as well as the "choice people" to have our choice to NOT PAY a cent towards it.So if the hat fits then let those who choose it pay for it and not expect the rest of society to foot their bill of after creating life to make us pay to have it destroyed. Notice I acknowledge that it is a life that is being denyed a life and is being destroyed by those who want a life and expect others to be roped into their destructive decisions.

The veitnam vets got treated with disgust what for? They were soldiers under orders but at what cost to the Nation? Abortion has superceeded anything that happened in that war.Its a national suicide under the guise as "health" and also a discrimination against one gender on behalf of another namely men versus women.

Abortion is destruction of human life.

- Abortion destroys 3200 unborn babies a day in America.

- Abortion destroys 1.2 Million unborn babies a year in America.

- Abortion has destroyed more than 45 Million unborn babies in 36 years in America.

Abortion is destruction of human life: wholesale and mass destruction of human life.

--------------------

Abortion in America has killed more human life than Hitler and at a more rapid rate than Hitler killed. What Hitler did was a holocaust. Abortion is a holocaust.

--------------------

To have a Choice:

1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).

Source: http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/fastfacts.html

We should encourage responsibility. 93% of the time the mother and father made a choice to take a risk that might turn out to be inconvenient or a social reason. They need to be responsible for the life they started. We are not animals and we can make decisions (choice).

It's all about stepping up to the resposibility of the choice that was made 93% of the time.

93% of the time this can not be justified as a medical reason:

- 3200 Uborn American Babies slaughtered a day because of bad choices

- 1.2 Million Uborn American Babies slaughtered a day because of bad choices

- More than 45 Million Unborn American Babies slaughtered in 36 years

We need to do more for the 7%. We need to work hard to protect the mother and the child during this 7%.

The unborn baby does not have a choice if abortion is the choice.

Make Responsible Choices.

When you make a decision to have sex then be responsible.

Be Responsible.

Love Life.

Respect Life

Protect Life.

Love the Mother and the Child.

Our choice is to not to pay for abortion.

Our choice is for people to be responsible for the choices they make.

When does the unborn baby get a choice?

Our choice is to protect every unborn baby.

Our choice is to love human life.

Our choice is to tell the mothers the truth about what abortion is and what it does to the unborn baby.

Our choice is to expose the abortion to the Light of Truth.

As long as abortion is legal it should be covered, regardless of various factions. It seems to be the litmus test for appointing Supreme Court justices. Eric Scott's comment sound the voice of reason; abortion is, and should remain, a matter of CHOICE.

Jill of CA 4:18PM July 24, 2009

The last four (out of six total) comments on this article are not useful contributions to the debate. Nobody is forced to have an abortion, it is a choice that a pregnant woman makes. No doubt some make the decision lightly. But it is their decision to make. If a government-provided health care scheme does not make provision for abortion we will be back in the days of back street coat-hangers. The more I see of the health debate the less I like the idea of a government role.

Share the Truth and Love each Mother and Child.

Encourage others to seek the truth.

The Truth about Planned Parenthood:

Did you know, In just two years there are more unborn American babies (more than 2.4 Million) that die from abortion than all the Americans that have died from all our wars (less than 1.4 Million).

Honor to our soldiers:

Suction Abortion is where they suck the unborn baby out of the mothers womb with a vacuum.

Dismemberment Abortion is where they take forcepts to dismember the babies parts and pull them out of the mother womb. They rip the legs, arms, and body apart to extract the unborn baby. Then they crush the head to remove it.

Partial Birth Abortion is where they deliver everything but the head of the baby, They then stick a pair of scissors into the back of the neck of the unborn baby to seperate it's spine. Then they use the vacuum to suck the babies brain out.

Do you support the suction abortion, the dismemberment abortion, or the partial birth abortion?

Which of the above is a choice for the unborn baby?

that America has killed more Unborn Babies to abortion than Hitler killed in all his concentration camps.

Hitler and Nazi Germany = Less than 5 Million in 6 years

American Abortions = Greater than 7.2 Million in 6 years

The Nazi Germany concentration camps where shutdown before reaching 5 Million deaths.

American Abortions is now greater than 45 Million in 36 years.

Seek the Truth. Share the Truth.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_death_camp

Victim numbers

The number of people killed at the death camps has been estimated as follows:

Auschwitz-Birkenau: about 1,100,000[11]

Treblinka: at least 700,000[12]

Belzec: about 434,500[13]

Sobibór: about 167,000[14]

Chelmno: about 152,000[15]

Majdanek: 78,000[16]

These numbers total just under 2,700,000 people.

Among the lesser known death camps, estimates vary from 85,000 to 600,000 killed at Jasenovac.[17] At Maly Trostenets extermination camp at least 65,000 Jews were murdered, and estimations for non-Jewish people killed vary from 100,000 to 400,000 (no survivals, including operating personnel, were found). [18]

Human Life was important.

Human Life should be protected.

Our unborn babies deserve a chance.

Our unborn babies deserve a choice.

Please don't support the slaughter of the least of our people.

We should not kill.

Something about Bobo's comment suggests it came from a dark place with boulders and monkeys. Some hospital patients are veterans, crippled in war. Some are injured fire or police department workers. Some are exhausted from lifetimes of unselfishly taking care of families. Maybe the Welcome Wagon missed Bobo too many times? Maybe it's time to listen to Little Orphan Annie sing "Tomorrow."
