A private abortion costs less than $500.  I am sure there will be abortion clinics down there to provide private service, and it would be a better atmosphere anyway.  You never know who would be working in the hospitals who might have a religious objection, and you know what religious people can get like, (shooting people, blowing things up…)

And then there are people like Jon 34 who refuse to accept that women have the right to end pregnancy.  He’d like all women who have abortions charged with murder.  Sigh.  So how about the military, Jon?  Are all those soldiers murderers because the bible says though shalt not kill?  Grow up my friend.  I’d love to see the government ‘not fund’ the military, eh?  Because some peace groups call it murder?

These are ugly truths but should be identified and considered.  I do not like abortion, just like I do not like bombs and guns, but it is a reality in our world and lets deal with it with understanding.

Anyway, I bet more of the poorest women will end up having babies if abortions cost them money out of pocket.  Drug addicts, alcoholics and the destitute may end up having babies that are unwanted, uncared for and quite possibly brain damaged.  There is an interesting study on the rate of crime and the rate of abortion 20 years earlier.

But administration officials say the president isn’t likely to bring along tangible concessions on hot-button issues, nor will he return with concrete achievements. Unfinished business — from the shape of U.S. military bases in Okinawa, to a South Korean free-trade agreement, to climate change, trade and currency issues with China — will remain unfinished.

Instead, Mr. Obama will likely rely heavily on oratory and personal popularity to try to boost U.S. influence while maintaining close economic ties to a region that has become the biggest creditor to the U.S.

Translation: “We have absolutely no leverage with the Chinese because we’ve sold them our souls, so we’re sending in our best used car salesman as a last-ditch effort to appease our financial backers.”

Alas, the Chinese know a smooth-talking Dear Leader when they see one.

Prediction: They roll Obama, take his lunch money, and send him home with his tail carefully adjusted.

While it trembles on the verge, let us take a stroll down LamestreamMedia Lane and see how many times Reagan was referred to at the time of the Fall.

Zip.

Zilch.

Nada.

This current piece mentions Reagan, it’s featured on the “Russia Today” YT channel. They interview an American writer who disrespects President Reagan for three straight minutes. He says, among other things, that to think that Reagan was motivated by the desire to see oppressed people freed is “utter and complete nonsense”.
