Reply #111: Your privilege is showing. [View All]

[Daemonaquila]

That's the most condescending, privileged thing I've heard in a while. I practice disability law. A lot of my clients and a much larger number of people in the same poverty boat can't scrape together $25 for basic medicines. Put something on a credit card? Nice wish, having a credit card. Several hundred dollars for lifesaving care, much less an abortion? Ain't gonna happen.

Nobody is going to go broke from having an abortion because either they can scrape the money together from the seat cushions and borrowing, or they're going to have a baby they don't want, can't afford, and that will be paid for by YOUR tax dollars. The abortion IS small potatoes for YOU. You should be happy to pay for it rather than the next 18 years of food, medical care, shelter, education, etc. for that baby, and support that mother who's making the best choice she can for her own survival and ability to be a productive and happy citizen.
