ORIGINAL: Greta75 I'm all for funding abortions and by the way, I don't know how much it cost over there, but over here, it's like 250 to 300 bux. Even teenagers on parental support for allowances can afford an abortion. It doesn't cost much. But I see the big problem here. GOP needs to have new legislation that Planned Parenthood can use the funds for all women health issues except Abortion. Problem solved. And on top of that, give free birth control injections. The most effective way to stop abortions is to spend money making sure birth control is FREE for all women! Our federal laws already prevent taxpayer moneys from funding abortions. But Planned Parenthood has been viciously attacked by the right to continue stirring controversy, rather pointlessly. Giving free birth control isn't going to happen. Hobby Lobby won their case to deny employees' insurance plans from covering birth control because of the company's religious beliefs. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/06/trump-rolls-back-obamacares-contraception-rule-243537 Trump rolls back Obamacare birth control mandate The new policy reignites the battle over one of the health care law's most controversial provisions. The new policies, which take effect immediately, reignite a fierce battle over one of the health care law's most controversial provisions and quickly drew legal challenges. The requirement to provide FDA-approved contraception at no cost was long opposed by religious groups that heavily favored Trump, and has been wrapped up in litigation for more than five years. "The United States has a long history of providing conscience protections in the regulation of health care for entities and individuals with objections based on religious beliefs or moral convictions," the administration wrote in new rules. The American Civil Liberties Union said it will file a lawsuit on Friday to block the long-anticipated rules from the Trump administration, and California Attorney General Xavier Becerra also announced plans to sue. Women's health groups for months have been preparing lawsuits against the new policies, which they say will enable employers to deny their workers access to needed care. The Trump administration said it was acting to protect individuals and groups from being forced to violate their religious beliefs as it downplayed concerns that more women would struggle to afford birth control. And this is the problem. Nobody else's religion should interfere with a woman's health decisions. Not even her husband's or father's. Religious beliefs should have no impact on medical care whatsoever.
