Should abortions be paid for by public funds? Why or why not?

Question

Seventeen states use public funds to pay for abortions for some poor women, but only four do so voluntarily; the rest do so under a court order.

About 13% of all abortions in the United States are paid for with public funds.

Answer 1

No!  That is the problem with the liberal left.  They "play" Then They say, either pay for my abortion or pay for me to be on welfare....

The rest of us play cautiously, and if pregnancy occurs, we take a second job to make sure we can provide for our own!

Answer 2

If you don't want the child, then keep your legs closed!

And far as your question goes: No! Abortions violate the 5th and 14th amendments. So I will not support unconstitutional acts and the murders of little babies.

Answer 3

Colbert 08- You obviously don't know what your talking about. In most abortion clinics there is a set price to pay. If you're too poor to pay the total then the price can be negotiated and you pay what you can afford. It's not like these women go into a clinic and expect an abortion for free. & if you knew anything you would know that many women who opt for an abortion were using some kind of protection.

& please don't say people like you would get a second job to take care of  a baby...People like you get abortions too!

I think the states who use public funds for abortion clinics are probably doing the smartest thing in the long run. If a woman can't afford an abortion how will she take care of a child right? Better to help pay a little for an abortion then pay alot for welfare.

Answer 4

Why should i have to pay to fix your mistake for knocking up your girlfriend? When i s***w up do you pay for it? So no, public funds should not be used for abortions.  

Answer 5

No, no medical procedure or care should be paid for by public funds. Abortions especially.

Answer 6
