I mean, abortions just aren't that expensive. I mean, we're talking half the cost of a dental crown. Abortion drugs are even cheaper. There are very, very few women in the US who want an abortion and truly can't afford it. Don't the Dems have bigger fish to fry when it comes to this abortion of a health care reform they're trying to enact? I don’t understand what the deal is with government paid abortions.

Under its aegis, you can get at almost <i>anything</i>. Gunshot wounds are a public health crisis, ergo, you need to control guns (or at least ammo). Childhood obesity means limiting access to sugary soft-drinks and snack foods---and allowing parents to sue the companies that make them. Better yet, class action lawsuits by diabetes sufferers (oh, sorry, <i>victims</i>). Think that's exaggerating? Look at what Bloomberg has done in NYC (and he claims to be a Republican!) Health care is the ultimate cover for nanny-state extremism. After all, YOU are going to have to pay for THEIR ill-health, so it only makes sense that you'd want to keep those folks from behaving poorly, right?

Is it mere coincidence that the number 666 comes up in connection with Pelosi, abortion, health care reform? Or does it have more to do with Mr Boehner? I guess it depends on how you swing, socio-politically. Did you notice the page or post number, I suppose it is, at the end of the “latest gambit” link?
