66. maybe the fact that women have rights

If Obama can stipulate birth control be in every plan what stops Romney etal from doing the opposite?

Why Abortion Won't Be Defunded in Canada
By Joyce Arthur
Pro-Choice Press, Autumn/Winter 2003

The Canadian anti-choice movement has been trying for over a decade to have abortion defunded in Canada. Currently, all abortions in Canada are funded as a "medically required" service under the Canada Health Act, whether they are performed in hospitals or clinics (although four provinces are still flouting the law by refusing to fully fund abortions in clinics).

The anti-choice movement uses five main arguments against the funding of abortion.[1] Let's examine each of them in turn.

People who actually believe that women have rights might find some of that article instructive. Women (and people generally) do have more extensive and better protected rights in Canada than in the US overall, but there are arguments there that are certainly worth considering for local use.

This is International Women's Day, after all. A good day for learning about how things are done in other places.
