    The connection is that abortion is a medical [procedure. The assertion that any one group of people gets more abortions because of the lack of adequate health care is silly. It is an opinion based on nothing. It is like saying that people will be more likely to fry eggs because chickens lay them.

    Abortions are performed by doctors, if those doctors are not adequately taken care of (whether their line of work is made illegal or not) it affects and effects the entire health system

    Now, I am a Pro-Life person but in the sense that I believe abortion is wrong, I think if my neighbor Michelle wants to have an abortion, she should be able to, and if abortion is outlawed, more women will have back-alley abortions, in which the chance of death is incredibly high.

    hope I helped!

    Yes. Women go to a health care provider to get birth control information and to also learn how to use birth control effectively.

    Birth control pills, a diaphragm, or an IUD are all effective birth control methods, but if you don't go to a doctor to get them, they are not available.

    well, when people get more Educated about an Issue and can discuss it with an open-minded individual instead of a Bible-thumping Self-Rightous Hypocrite, they are more informed and make Safer and Healthier choices in Life.....

    Go Figure~!

    if someone doesn't go to the dr. regularly, they are less likely to get good information about birth control and if they don't have a health plan, they have to pay for birth control out of pocket which can be expensive for someone who's poor.

    "women's health Issues" is code for:

    Abortion and Birth Control.

    When a woman or a group... feels that I should help pay for killing their UNBORN... the way they FRAME that is: "WOMEN HEALTH"... that's because ABORTION is a MEDICAL PROCEDURE.

    It's "semantics"... and it's pretty effective to people who don't understand the game.

    It's like:

    Information Delivery specialist -> paperboy

    Sanitation Engineer -> Trash Man...

    It's a EUPHEMISM.

    Same with BIRTH CONTROL... shouldn't a WOMAN either NOT HAVE SEX or arrange for her own Birth Control?

    anyway... what is confusing you - is you're an HONEST STRAIGHT SHOOTER.

    You wouldn't expect that others are any different.

    This story makes no sense what so ever. Abortion is all about me, me, me and no consideration for the baby or anyone else.
