My bad policies? How am I responsible for the state not inspecting medical facilities despite the fact that an employee actually reported the unsanitary facilities and unlicensed caregivers to the state licensing board? Want to try and run that one out so it makes sense?
Or are you just going to keep lying?
Again- if you had state paid for abortion in the first trimester, no one would go to Gosnell in the third.
We could also talk about how "Starving the Beast" (cutting taxes so that state agencies never have enough money to do their jobs) probably contributed to the state board not following up on complaints.
Again, that is not the issue.
It is as far as I'm concerned.
Look, guys, there are one of two ways to treat Abortion.
One is to treat it as a medical issue, the other is to treat it as a moral issue.
PA Tries to treat it as a moral issue, and puts as many roadblocks to a woman getting a legal abortion as possible, from not funding them for poor people to blocking them after the 24th week.
Oh, but we won't actually fund the agencies that are supposed to check these clinics. Nope.
This is where abortion laws become kind of like the prostitution laws. Yup, we've shown our moral outrage, but we can still get what we are looking for pretty easily.
Now, if we treated it like a medical issue, poor women would be able to get abortions in the first trimester in a free clinic without having to claim rape.
A mutant like Gosnell would never exist to start with.
