What James said. Also it's very difficult to get the funds from Medicaid. That's why the National Network of Abortion Funds exists. ( http://nnaf.org/ )
Please support your local abortion fund organization.

National Women's Law Center URGENT: CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES NOW! The House is voting today on the health care reform bill, and there's an amendment on the table that will cause women to lose coverage for abortion care.This is coverage that women currently have — and now it's at risk, due to the amendment introduced by Representative Bart Stupak. The only way we can succeed is by flooding Congress with calls.

I don't think anyone has a right to tell a woman what she can do with her own body. Most of all not those Religious fanatics!

I remember Bush the Father ording me to spend 20000 in one day on anything or we would get no more money till next year. instead of paying 2000 for a drill in a dental clinic that I did not need amoung other things I would rather they sent the money to my parents to pay for their meds or set us up on good health care. America wake up the world knows we do not care about our under served pop in healthcare. its sad and a shame.
