As the Obamacare debate heats up, one has to wonder what happened to the mantra that the government should have no say in abortion. This argument is almost always coupled with the rationale that abortion is an issue of health care and should remain a private matter between a woman and her physician.
Has the pro-choice lobby thought about what will happen when a Republican, pro-life administration assumes power? Or do they assume that the Republicans have been permanently swept into the dustbin of history?
One might think the pro-choice crowd would see the train wreck coming. Because it seems to me the left is setting up a system in which some future pro-life administration would not have to fight the abortion battle head-on. It could instead simply focus its healthcare priorities elsewhere and relegate elective abortions to the back burner — where waiting periods could grow to 9 months.
