“I think, when it comes to sexual issues that in no way directly influence health, neither men nor women should have elective procedures covered....

The bill does provide abortions in psychologically traumatizing or health related instances, but for a healthy woman who made a choice, it will be something she can pay for privately...

I think that should work in regards to male and female reproductive issues”

“Well after the Abortion amendment was passed and funds were stopped for abortions, why did these supposed advocates of the American people still vote against health care for real Americans, not just the rich and connected.
I advocate the loss of health care which our government provides to these false leaders of our country. These people that are supposed to govern for the people and by the people are governing for many of those that go to church, listen about love, forgiveness and tolerence and a lord that healed the sick fed the poor and tended the flock, and promptly leave church and spread hate.”

“but there is a danger, if elective abortion is free, for abuse...we have to look at that real possibility as well. I personally know of a gal who had five elective abortions in her lifetime...others may have more as they could use it as a form of birth control...this is dangerous and not something we should pay for...”
