It would be a radioactive cinder by now. Yet we allow for profit insurance to do exactly the same thing.

1. Your post should be made into a giant
   
banner.

It should be the headline on every newspaper and news website in existence, all over the world.

It should be the topic of every homily and sermon in every church and mosque and synagogue and house of worship in the United States.

It should be the first subject discussed in every public and private school, college, university, institution of learning in this country.

It should be written on every menu in every restaurant.

It should be painted on the sides of buses and cabs and trains and planes and ships.

All new cars should have this post painted across the trunk.

Each baby born should be given a card with this on it, for the child to hold onto throughout life.

A reminder that not all the murderers are as easy to spot as Charlie Manson, but the nicely-dressed ones are much more vicious, much more dangerous, much more culpable than Charlie ever was or will be.

Thank you for putting in such stark and simple and indisputable terms.

Outrage.

Beyond outrage.

And they get away with it.

They latch onto a dubious "fact" like it was a maggot-infested bone, and they just can't let go, no matter how badly they know it's gonna end for them....

How many Babies get killed every year in Abortions?

[The Village Idiot]

I guess we must ban cars then

[thundley4]

I thought this was going to be a rant about how the government should just ban tobacco instead of making a "killing" off the taxes from it.

How many Babies get killed every year in Abortions?

In the United States in the year 2000 an estimated 1,312,990 unborn babies were killed.

I wonder how many of those murders were paid for by insurance companies?  I know some insurance companies have been force to provide coverage in some states because of the pro-death lobby.

I don't know. I actually found that statistic a couple of weeks ago while doing some research. Also, an estimated 7% of abortions occur as a result of rape, incest, or potential health problems for the mother or child. If my math is correct that means approximately 1,221,080 unborn babies are killed predominantly for reason of convenience.

And an estimated 47% of abortions are performed on women who have already had at least one previous abortion.

According to this site: linky

48% of all abortion facilities provide services after the 12th week of pregnancy. 9 in 10 managed care plans routinely cover abortion or provide limited coverage. About 14% of all abortions in the United States are paid for with public funds, virtually all of which are state funds. 16 states (CA, CT, HI, ED, IL, MA , MD, MD, MN, MT, NJ, NM, NY, OR, VT, WA and WV) pay for abortions for some poor women.

Women with family incomes less than $15,000 obtain 28.7% of all abortions; Women with family incomes between $15,000 and $29,999 obtain 19.5%; Women with family incomes between $30,000 and $59,999 obtain 38.0%; Women with family incomes over $60,000 obtain 13.8%.

[Mr Mannn]

The problem with this 45,000 people dead every year by insurance companies is simple.

Liberals have not spent the last 10 years demonizing the insurance industry. NO ONE HATES INSURANCE COMPANIES. The brain washed masses hate the oil industry, but until health care even had a chance no one needed to hate insurance.
They wasted their time demonizing a president.

So now its too late, you can't make America hate an industry for no good reason.

That's another thing that's puzzling about DUmmies. They enthusiastically support abortion,
even though demographics make it clear an overwhelming majority of the children who are
killed in abortion mills would have grown up to be democrats.

We oppose it because we believe it's a reprehensible sin to kill an innocent child.
Democrats hate anything that resembles a moral code, so their support can only be because
it's a convenience.

2006 data on the top causes of death:

    * Heart disease: 631,636
    * Cancer: 559,888
    * Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 137,119
    * Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 124,583
    * Accidents (unintentional injuries): 121,599
    * Diabetes: 72,449
    * Alzheimer's disease: 72,432
    * Influenza and Pneumonia: 56,326
    * Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 45,344
    * Septicemia: 34,234

I don't see the DUmp monkeys complaining much about fast food, junk food and smoking.

I wonder how many people die due to drugs each year.

[NHSparky]

I was gonna say, wasn't there a study done that claimed over 100K deaths per year from infections while in the hospital?

So if we kill 45K OUT of the hospital, and 100K INSIDE the hospital...just using DUmmie logic...

  Priceless...absolutely priceless!!

These idiots hate health insurance companies, but they want the government to force everyone to buy health insurance or pay a fine and face jail time.

Drug overdose from addiction is considered accidental.

Yeah, their logic is beyond belief.  Demanding that people get the exact same thing that they claim to hate.  I just assume stupidity.

Cognitive dissonance... definitive trait of the leftist tards.
