No. Not the taxpayers.Originally posted by Flipper
First, a good proportion of those who go in for abortions aren't high on the socio-economic scale, but abortion is an affordable procedure. I'm interested to know who Jefferson thinks should pick up the tab for what sounds like it will be a very expensive process. Presumably, not the tax payers.
Good points. This probably will be a very expensive process which would mean that many women and girls will still choose abortion. It does, however eliminate one more pro-abort argument against the recriminalization of abortion which is the ectopic pregnancy argument.I can see a case to be made where childless couples looking for babies to adopt might pick up the tab, but I doubt it will be affordable to many. We are talking about 9 months worth of presumably specialist care, after all. Will many insurance companies be willing to amortize that? Will there be enough of these couples to meet the demand?
