The plan has been drawn up by the health secretary, Tommy Thompson, who is a
longstanding opponent of abortion rights. However, his spokesman, Bill
Pierce, denied that the measures concealed an anti-abortion agenda. >>
This is probably true, but the unintended consequence of all this will be
that taxpayers will be footing the bill for fetal surgeries that are used to
correct problems in utero. I'm all for helping the unborn, but since many,
many children are actually without healthcare due to lack of funding, it
seems improper to expend the hundreds of thousands of dollars that each of
these surgeries cost while those who have managed to be born will be without
medical care. It seems strange too that this is all proposed by
conservatives whose "God bless the child that has his own" attitude has
always characterized their legislation. Well, we won't have that dangerously
socialistic "cradle to grave" problem. It will be the conservative
"conception to birth," and after that--good luck. Good luck is probably just
what we'll all be needing before the Republicans are through giving us family
values. Prudy
