"Abortion Affiliates"

In Mildred’s last blog post he began to talk about a Texas lawmaker who introduced legislation that would nullify a controversial the Abortion Affiliate rule, banning from Medicaid programs that offer abortion and other health care services to low income women. Rep. Lon Burnam (a House Democrat) disagrees with anyone who wants to let abortion be a part of Women’s health Care for numerous valid reasons. It will in danger access to cervical and breast cancer screenings, STD testing, diabetes testing, and birth control services for 50,000 poor women in Texas. I recently posted a blog response of another colleague who wrote about an article dealing with similar issues. Abortion is a very sensitive topic to get into. It’s also interesting to see what other people’s opinion on abortion is and what they justify as right or wrong. Please watch this video. It is about a beautiful young woman who survived an abortion attempt.  She was not intended to live. If you think about it, abortion is a sick and disgusting thing. It’s literally killing a baby. That baby could have been a doctor, lawyer, professor, the possibilities are endless. But how would we know what the baby had the potential of doing if the mother decides to kill it before she even holds him/her. Mildred had a similar response to the article. He mentioned that women should not use health care providers who also provide the health of women who rely on the Women’s Health Program. I could not agree more.
