Wellness Wednesday: Reform, Reform, Reform

So, we finally have health care reform...

*looks around*

*crickets chirp*

Well, the fall of civilization hasn't happened yet.

What secured the final holdouts in the House was Obama's promise that federal funds would not be used to pay for abortions. Instead, they can get coverage separately, but must pay out of pocket.

I imagine it being like when I sign up for health insurance for my job. There's a long list of additional coverages I can elect to pay for, such as Short/Long Term Disability and Accidental Death & Dismemberment.

The problem with that is, just like I have no plans to be accidentally dismembered in the foreseeable future, abortions aren't exactly planned out either.

Although I can see some conservatives painting this picture:

"I forgot to bring a condom, baby..."

"No need. I bought Humana Abortion Plus. We can just kill off any eggs you accidentally fertilize!"

No, women don't just go off and buy a Baby-B-Gon to get rid of any unwanted fetuses (fetii?) in the same way they would buy a Sudafed to shake a cold,

Abortions wouldn't even be an issue if people weren't too dumb/naive to think that they would never get pregnant in the first place.

Here in America, we love the sin and hate the sinner. It's all good to have sex on teen dramas and spray deodrant commercials. But we don't even have a useless tagline like beers do.

I recommend "Please Bone Responsibly"
