"Ironically, this is the first time Republicans have supported a "right" to medical care, though it is not clear who will pay for these procedures when and if they ever happen."

When Mike Pence was governor of Indiana, he signed a law prohibiting abortion based on prenatal testing...if tests showed your child would have extreme developmental difficulties, you just have to deal with it.

Did the state HELP in any way, while FORCING parents to shoulder a burden that they might not be prepared for? OF COURSE NOT. Bootstraps and all that.

He also opposed the free needles didn't he? And there was a surge in AIDS? But what you just said above I didn't know about and I really feel so sick. The child has to deal with it too-- not just the drunken, party-going parents or whatever he thinks they are.

I don't actually think Trump would ever get behind a bill like that. If we to were to make a pro and cons list. So even if he thinks you can get right beside a Stealth plane and not see it, that's still better than Pence and this thing.

How about this one, "I've milked a few cows, spent most of my time walking behind lines of cows, so if you want some ideas on repro and the women's health thing, I have some definite opinions," Nelson said with a laugh during a meeting of the state's House Agricultural Affairs Committee, per the Statesman."
