Last night, Philadelphia became the third U.S. city to pass a resolution calling for federal and state funding of reproductive healthcare services, including abortion.

From the resolution: “Resolution calling upon President Obama, the US Congress, Governor Corbett, and the Pennsylvania General Assembly to maintain existing public funding for comprehensive reproductive health care and reinstate insurance coverage for abortion care for every woman who needs it, --snip-- “They were told they’d need $350–450 for an abortion,” said Dr. Schewel. “As you can imagine, that’s a fortune to them.”

Dr. Marla Gold, another member of the Board of Health, emphasized that the resolution calls for funding for the full-spectrum of reproductive healthcare services, not just abortion.

This is a left wing paper/blog. The resolution was not passed by the City Council. It was the Philadelphia Department of Public Health.

"reproductive health care and reinstate insurance coverage for abortion care for every woman who needs it, --snip--"

Reproduction is having a baby.

Abortion is having a corpse.

Interesting how they constantly lie to cover what they are talking about.

$350-$400 can buy a lot of lottery tickets, 2 pairs of NIKE Shoes, Enough weed to stay high for a week, 50 boxes of condoms, a trip to a casino...sure is a a lot of money.

“Reproductive healthcare”, huh? What exactly is reproduced during an abortion anyway?

I'm all for it, then we have to deal with it here in Pittsburgh, but I think we'd have a good chance if we lose that millstone that is called Philly.

No problem. Pass it in your own state. Try Federalism for a change; it’s tight!

Fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that.

Maybe trade it to NJ for a few square miles on their side of the Water Gap. Tell Christie he'd be gaining millions of new voters, and getting rid of useless land that can't raise crops or revenue.
