Doesn't make sense. Why would anyone pay for supplemental Abortion insurance?

[itsrobert]

I don't see anyone buying supplemental insurance just in the rare case they may have to make a choice. Would anyone here or know anyone who would buy it? I don't even know how much that would cost.

2. For all those people "planning" an abortion, silly!

Get yours today!

3. All insurance is bought "just in case."

Nobody knows if they'll need what they buy.

4. So you pay, I guess $20 a month

And you pay that for 20 years. That's a lot of money. $4800?

5. Well, I've been paying for

flood insurance, wind insurance, homeowners insurance to the tune of about $1500 a year for 25 years. So that's $37,500. Never had a claim (thankfully) but, although I don't like paying for it, I'm glad I have it, just in case. How many people pay for auto insurance and never file a claim? Keep in mind that I hate this whole misogynistic, repressive crap of abortion restrictions, but the cost is a false analogy. It's just plain wrong. (I'd put 'abortion insurance money' in a savings account or under the mattress, rather than give it to an insurance company. If you never need it, you can take a nice vacation or something.)

6. I would imagine the uninsured would pay out of pocket

I think the going rate is in the neighborhood of $500-$600 dollars per procedure.

7. that makes the most sense

doesn't it?

8. I paid for mine

Had to borrow the money but I paid it back. It cost me about $300, 28 years ago.

9. I would imagine that is the point.

Gotta stop the fetus killers.
