Not if you are a real Republican. Just ask them.

there'd be a whole lot more pro-choice support from republicans and libertarians if there wasn't an expectation for others to foot the bill. You want people to keep their politics off your bodies, don't expect them to pay your bills.


On this, you are truly delusional. If you consider yourself a repub, which you stated that you are, don't take on the right to speak for libertarians, which you are NOT.

I know many devout people who sincerely believe in their positions against abortion. To put them down as being able to be "bought off" by redefining it as a money issue, is simply an insult to their integrity.

The fact is, it is NOT an economic issue. Your preferred alternative, birth, is FAR FAR FAR more expensive FOR YOU. Always has been, always will be.

I find it bizarre that anyone would want to have legal prohibitions on medical procedures, based upon not wanting to pay for it selectively. Especially when it is men who want to impose upon women.
