Well, I’m not going to vote for Meg Whitman, I got on the net to see where she is at, because I haven’t looked at her since she won the primary, here is where she is.
FR: So let’s talk about - because I think I read, but I want to make sure that it’s accurate - that you support the use of public funds -
MW: That’s correct.
FR: - for abortions. So if you go into this idea that the theory is that government money should be paid for things that are for the greater good, how would you justify taking, say, my tax dollars and spending it on something that I think we can all agree is controversial?
MW: Absolutely. It is controversial. And by the way, I respect your position on this. I really do respect your position on this, and smart, intelligent, nice people can agree to disagree on this because they are tough issues. My view is that if we are going to be pro-choice, that people do have the ability to have an abortion if they think it is the right thing for them, subject to the rules that we just described, that it needs to be available to all women, and whether you are rich or poor, you need to be able to access that right. And it’s unfair to women who can not afford an abortion, and that’s why I support public funding.
FR: So you would categorize it more as just another health care procedure, just like somebody who’s poor who is on public healthcare for everything else shouldn’t have this excluded from that. I’m just trying to -
MW: I understand. I would say yes. The fact of the matter is this is not just another healthcare procedure. This is not like a heart attack. This is not like a stroke. This is not like whatever. And so I think actually women spend a great deal of time thinking about this. This is an issue that I think women don’t take lightly. No women takes this lightly. And so they think through it on their own for their own situation, and on the choices that they want to make. And so if this is an available procedure, I think it needs to be available for all women.
HOLY CRAP!!!
I already hated Meg, but I'd never heard this one!!!
Do you realize what a moron she is? After all, she is talking about a medical procedure that some people pay for. Well, what about tummy tucks?? Some women can pay for THEM after having kids. Shouldn't EVERY WOMAN get one, regardless of whether or not they can pay?? What about cars? Why should poor women have worse cars?? Give each one an Escalade!
And does she not know how it works, with government funded abortions?? A woman goes to Planned Parenthood. She gives them phony info. They do not care. They tell her how to fill out the forms saying she has no money, and presto, the government will collect taxpayer dollars to kill her baby with. Even RICH women can get funded abortions.
Before many women know they are pregnant, their baby's heart is already beating. Just because a woman "thinks long and hard about it" before they kill their baby does not make it right. Meg kept her babies and look how crappy they turned out. Maybe she wishes she had taken the coward's way out.
Only fear of Jerry Loser Moonbeam Brown can force my hand to put an ink dot by the despicable Meg's name Tuesday.
