The Abortion Business: I Want The Choice To Not Be An Investor

Abortion is a business. It is a big business. Huge. Michelle Malkin reports:

In April, the annual report of Planned Parenthood Federation of America revealed that the abortion giant had a total income of $1.02 billion—with reported profits of nearly $115 million. Taxpayers kick in more than $336 million worth of government grants and contracts at both the state and federal levels. That’s a third of Planned Parenthood’s budget.

And what market-distorting results do we get for those government incentives? 289,650 abortions in 2006.
This industry trades on other's misfortune and stupidity. The industry also violates the medical principle of "first, do no harm". Harming one living organism for the convenience of another strikes some as morally wrong, but the fact is, abortion is legal. Legal doesn't mean right.

Still, what's really galling is that people who believe it is morally wrong are forced to support the procedures. Where is my choice as a tax payer? Since feminists are all about choice, I'd like to exercise mine and not have my money subsidize what I consider a repugnant medical procedure.

If another doctor wants to sell killing and make money at it, so long as it's legal, that's his choice. As long as a consumer wants to buy the killing to escape her irresponsibility and it's legal, that's her choice. I want to exert my choice as a taxpayer and not be forced to support their disgusting commerce.

Yes it is legal, but what upsets me is when abortions take place because of inconvenience for some women. If there is a health risk involved towards mother and baby then I am all for this process, but if for no other real true worthy reason - then no.

Of course it is a business. All health care in this country is.

I think it is less upsetting that it is a business than that it has become a holy cause for some people. Abortion for pure convenience is defended by "ministers". That's disgusting. The Episcopal church and various other "progressive" religions have a bureau of religious available to give speeches about why abortion (not performed to preserve life) is a good and moral thing.

There will always be some termination procedures, because after all a D&C is used for multiple purposes, such as resolving an incomplete miscarriage. And Planned Parenthood also uses a lot of its money to provide testing, PAP smears, contraception, etc. So all that money isn't spent on abortions.

What bothers me more than anything else is that the idea is now being pushed that since taxpayers pay a lot for support and care of disabled people, that it is the woman's societal duty to abort an imperfect baby. We're one hop and a tiny baby step away from adopting a Nazi-like strategy of killing disabled persons for the benefit of society, and futile care policies have us halfway throw the hop.
