NY Times Editorial on Abortion and Health Care

The New York Times published an editorial on Sept. 30th in which they argue for no restrictions on abortion in the health care plans being considered in Congress.

Read it here.

Here are a few of the more interesting points they make with my comments following:

“In a rational system of medical care, there would be virtually no restrictions on financing abortions. But abortion is not a rational issue, and opponents have succeeded in broadly denying the use of federal dollars to pay for them, except in the case of pregnancies that result from rape or incest or that endanger a woman’s life.”

[I agree with the second statement: Abortion is not a rational issue. It seems to me completely irrational how anyone could argue that the government should pay to have babies killed.]

“These restrictions, which constitute an improper government intrusion into Americans’ private lives…”

[On the contrary, I would argue that the government paying to have a baby killed is definitely an improper government intrusion into Americans’ lives.]


Right now we need to pray and pray often for an end to abortion in our country, especially an end to legal and government subsidized abortions.
