U.S. Taxpayers SHOULD pay for Women's elective Reproductive Medical Procedures !

Expanding freedoms is what America is all about.

They should pay for them and it is all to the good for American society in doing it. Look at Freakonomics and the causes of the drop in crime. And it helps many women escape poverty by not overburdening them when they cannot support the children.

If you are talking about Planned Parenthood and abortions then it should be noted that they are not paid for using Federal dollars.

Women's elective Reproductive Medical Procedures are paid for with US taxpayer's money and it should continue to be paid for by US taxpayers as it is what FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY is about. FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY is why America was founded. The Un-American facists and ziionists in the GOP hate America.

Abortion rights should be legally protected, not taxpayer subsidized. Subsidation is an infringement of the taxpayer's economic freedom.

Access to necessary medicine to help out girls and women is right in America and should be paid for 100% by US taxpayers as long as the procedure is elective. We shouldn't force fat girls have lap band surgery or force skinny girls to eat at Haagen Daz every day. But if girls want a reproductive procedures then that's their choice and we as American taxpayers should help pay for that choice. We pay every other effing medical bill afterall so what's the big deal all about anyways.

"Freedom" means the right of action, not the right to make demands of others. No girl or woman is entitled to a taxpayer-funded abortion.

Those medical bills are out of control. I don't want taxpayer money going towards ANY elective operation, because I don't want other people spending MY money because they were irresponsible or unlucky. If you're a rape victim, sure, I don't have a problem with taxpayers covering that. If you had consensual, unprotected sex, I shouldn't have to pay to fix it. You pay for it.

I have a screwed up knee which has rendered me incapable of running the way I want to, no more 100+ mile weeks for me. I can get an ACL replacement surgery which will likely fix the problem, but its an elective surgery and my health insurance won't help me out with it. It really is quite inconvenient and can be painful at times- Should taxpayers be forced to pay for my knee surgery?

Do you understand how much less of a burden on taxpayers an abortion is than having another person on welfare for the rest of their life?

No, it's not OK. Just because you were raped doesn't mean you're entitled to an abortion paid for by someone else.

Abortions or not PP is good at getting those rubber boots and magic pills to the people. We don't want all the sorority chicks getting fat off babies now do we?

Just an FYI, the federal money that goes to planned parenthood DOES NOT go towards abortions.

It goes towards gynecological exams for underpriveledged women. Unless you think poor women in the US should die of cervical cancer, a completely preventable disease. We call ourselves a developed nation but then allow our poor to die of diseases that only people in third world countries die of.

of course it does. they're good upstanding citizens, those PP honchos. of course they separate out all the D&C money from the gyno exam money, making sur ethat none of the fed money goes to d&c. yep, that's PP alright, just looking out for our best interest and taking care of poor, underpriveleged women. we should award them a medal or something for their benevolence.

Whatever. Just so people get the Medical Procedures they desire with the help of the fellow U.S. taxpayers. That's America, the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

I agree with you, but I don't see why women always get special treatment here. Even though men suffer more preventable deaths, we still think of women's health issues as more deserving of funding than mens' health issues.

In America, Planned Parenthood must be free to provide medical procedures to consenting female and male minors and adults without intervention and to have them funded by elected representatives approval of taxpayer money if so required. There can be no obstruction to Reproductive Rights by the government or by any non-medical persons. These are the people's rights as Americans and as aliens residing in America.

Abortion is a right. Tax money is not. We must vigorously deny taxpayer funding for abortions.
