We Don’t Need This Kind of “Care”

As we head into another election season, there is sure to be plenty of talk among the candidates and around the water cooler about health care and where abortion fits in it all. 

In this file article from The Independent: 

“A spokesperson for the NARAL advocacy group told the Huffington Post the "plain intention and unavoidable outcome" of the new law is ‘to make it harder for a woman to access basic health care by placing more barriers between a woman and her doctor’.”

This is just one example of the pro-abortion side claiming that abortion laws prevent women from obtaining “health care.” 

How is having an abortion considered “health care”?  Because that’s what all the activists speaking out against abortion restrictions and limitations are crying about – that limitations on abortions are making it harder for women to get basic health care and are placing “barriers” between women and their doctors.  So I repeat, how is an abortion “health care”?  It is in fact NOT healthy for the woman, mentally or physically.  It certainly isn’t healthy for the unborn baby.   (And it clearly IS a baby, as evidenced by the heartbeat, detectable at 6 weeks, and corroborated by the fact that if a pregnant woman is murdered, the murderer is charged with TWO counts of murder.  But that is a whole other topic for another day.)

How does society today define “health care”?   The ability to kill an innocent human being who is not part of the person’s plan – that is caring for one’s health?  Why, if that were the case, all murder would be legal because you could make a lot of cases against people who inconvenience you through the course of any day. 

Let’s break it down and go with the definitions generally agreed upon by the scholars who make up the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

Health noun:

(1 - a) the condition of being sound in body, mind, or spirit

(1 - b) the general condition of the body   

(2 - a) condition in which someone or something is thriving or doing well

Care noun:

(3 - a) painstaking or watchful attention

(3 - b) Maintenance

So, pro-abortionists would have you believe by these definitions that for a woman to be healthy (of sound body, mind or spirit; thriving; doing well), she must be free of a baby in her womb – or that in order to maintain her health, she must be allowed to rid her body of her baby, despite the evidence to the contrary, that, since creation, women have lived very healthy lives both during their pregnancies and following the birth of their children. 

 Killing an unborn baby is not health care, any way you put it.
