I have to admit I have never been able to decide for or against abortion. There are fair opinions on both sides. However, abortion at the tax-payer's expense is a hard sell. We should pay for the irresponsible choices of others? That does not seem fair.


We already are.

As I said before:

"If you've smoked all your life, have a poor diet, are a heavy drinker, and never exercise you're still eligible to claim Medicare benefits for the illnesses suffered as a result of those lifestyle choices."


Pregnancy is more serious than any of your glib references. Of course, it does not surprise me that you equate them.

Where have i said i support "legalised infanticide"?

I do not have any objections to abortions as they are in australia. Anything over about 6 weeks has to have a very good reason and i dont think its allowed after a certain amount of time. This is not killing infants.

Abortion is ending a life no matter how you want to gloss over it.

"In English law infanticide is established as a distinct offence by the Infanticide Acts. Defined as the killing of a child under 12 months of age by their mother....."

Yes infanticide is killing a child. To be a child it must be born.

If contraception was 100% effective, then maybe Mistress Nicole you'd have a point, but its not, so you dont.

So my opinion is yes definitely legal, yes definitely funded by medicare. We fund lung cancer and Type 2 diabetes patients

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

Just have to point out here that its not just smokers that get lung cancer.

Actually come to think of it its not just overweight people with type 2 diabetes either.
