Bart Stupak has no daughter, If he had had a daughter who needed an abortion, who would have paid?

[BolivarianHero]

Would it have been the citizen-funded congressional health care plan, or would it have come from the family's own finances?

1. Wasn't it Dan Quayle who admitted he pay for his daughter's

abortion if she needed one?
I have daughters, but whether I did or not is immaterial. If abortion is banned you can damn betcyha that rich people and that includes congress critters will get safe medical treatment somewhere. They did when I was a kid when abortion was illegal and make no doubt the rules will be the same.
So 1/2 of our population is again condemned by the old white male club to not having equal access to reproductive care.
And as MLK among many others, the poor are again discriminated against in health care.

3. One of the things I did to get through college was work as a ER Tech...

...and this was long before Roe v. Wade.

Patients leaving the hospital could exit via the door where the ambulances came in. One day, while I was sitting in the ER and charting, I saw someone I knew ~~ one of the members of the ritzy founding families of the little city where I lived and grew up ~~ pushing her daughter, about age 15 years, in a wheelchair towards that exit door. The kid had on all the pink young teen clothing and in her arms she was holding a HUGE stuffed rabbit.

So I turned to the ER nurse sitting next to me and asked what the hell had happened to so-and-so's kid. The nurse rolled her eyes and, yeah, you guessed it, an abortion that went down as something else. So, I took a look at the hospital role and, yep, right there was the child's name and her admitting MD was a very socially prominent MD who lived in town and the admitting DX was some blub about abdominal pain, source unknown ~~ I cannot recall the exact word, it's been over 40 years, but it sure as hell did not say D&C or anything even remotely related to the female organs.

Here, I thought things had changed with Roe v. Wade and, well, it looks like some things NEVER change. The wealthy will always be able to find safe, legal but expensive ways to solve their "medical" problems.

4. Don't forget that George W had a girlfriend who got an abortion.

Also, I was reading a story about a woman who worked in a clinic.
She said that several of the women protesting outside had at one time been patients in the clinic.
But each of them said that their abortion was "different" than the others.
