The public shouldn't pay for abortion

National Health Care to pay for abortion? Mr. Pasternak's recent article states that "abortion falls under family planning" and therefore women are entitled to seek medical help for it. He believes it should be covered by a National Health Care Plan.

He believes pro-life advocates haven't offered to take in babies of those who want to give them up, and shouldn't impose their beliefs on others who differ from their "so mighty opinions."

May I just say that to err in the favor of life is noble and right. Just imagine how many Fence Post articles we would have missed if Pasternak's mother would have opted to do the unthinkable. And, how many grandchildren, great grandchildren and others that would never have existed because of that decision.

When a women makes the decision to terminate a life, I just can't see it as being fair to the rest of us to pay for it.
