Theyre not wrong to ask the question. It is unclear, for example, whether Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), whose office did not respond to POLITICO for this story, was intentionally invoking the rhetoric of the pro-choice movement (which she most emphatically does not support) when she urged people last month to let their representatives know that under no circumstances will I give the government control over my body and my health care decisions.
She know all right. I have used the same argument to stun a liberal coworker into silence. The logic was that there isn't enough money to do everything so health care must be rationed. If it must be rationed government must be granted the power to deny certain medical procedures, even against the will of the patient. Abortion is a medical procedure so if you enact Obamacare you automatically give the government the right to ban abortion. Then remind them that it is inevitable that some day there will again be a Republican president and watch how fast they turn on Obamacare.

Those HIV/AIDS treatments are expensive, and they too, will be rationed.
