re: #168 Vicious Babushka

Was Fluke at any point demanding that govt pay for abortions?

My recollection was she demanded that private insurance cos. offer subsidized birth control pills the same way they subsidize most other forms of medication. So the only govt role was to pass rules requiring employers and their ins. cos. to pay for this (which was subsequently modified so religious organizations wouldn’t have to pay anything at all for contraception coverage). Abortion was never in the mix, and taxpayer dollars weren’t either.

The tweet shows the unbridled fact-free paranoia on the right: “we’re gonna have to pay for those people to have sex and abortions and HD TV’s…America is ruined, God help us!”
