I like to think for myself.

also, abortion should be covered

Obama confirmed that abortions would not be covered in his healthcare plan.  He wanted to give healthcare workers the  opportunity to utilize their conscience.  Can you imagine the President announcing that a medical procedure for men, that was perfectly legal, would not be covered under health care? Can there be anymore proof of the fact that women’s lives are devalued by patriarchy?  This further punishes poor women for being impoverished and having sex.

This so-called moral clause is nothing but patriarchy exercising its control over women’s bodies.  The conservatives may not have been able to overturn Roe vs Wade, however; they have made great strides in reducing access to the point that in some areas women are completely unable to procure an abortion, or they must go through extreme measures. Obama claims to support a woman’s right to choose, however; by not including abortion coverage, he is assuring that some will not have that right.  This is a centrist in action.  You cannot stand for good and for change, when you are pandering to the right wing, which seeks only to maintain the status quo.

    I must admit that I am very disappointed. Abortion should be covered, if not fully at least somewhat.
