Pregnancy is elective. It didn’t used to be covered.

[Slyfox]

Good point. If abortion is allowed then I would like to get some plastic surgery and have the American people pay for it.

[Starwolf]

Not always. Ectopic pregnancy and other problems require abortions and are medically necessary. Those are called therapeutic abortions and were legal before Roe v Wade, and have always been a covered procedure as they are medically necessary.

Abortion for birth control, sex selection, etc is indeed elective surgery, and it not covered in most health plans.

I suspect that the proponents of taxpayer-paid-for abortions consider it just another form of a tummy tuck.

Cosmetic surgery would be included in this Communist monstrosity-you think Zero will want to tick off Queen Nancy?;) So will sex change operations for lifestyle freaks. DOWN WITH COMMUNIST “HEALTHCARE”!!!

Abortion is a holy sacrament in the church of the left. As such, access to the procedure will be simple and cheap.

All you have to see to learn how far left the Democrat position is on abortion, and how much they are determined to force taxpayers to foot the bill for them, is their abortion policy, written in black and white in the 2008 DNC platform statement. From page 50 (emphasis mine):

The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to undermine that right.
