How Liberals Argue About Healthcare

Tuesday at the DNC convention in Charlotte, NARAL, formally known as National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, held a pro-choice rally. Attendees were given fans promoting pro-choice that said, "Politicians make crappy doctors." By this standard, everyone at the rally should hate ObamaCare, because ObamaCare takes the power to make decisions about healthcare for patients away from doctors and gives it to the government.

The woman I talked to argued that ObamaCare doesn't place healthcare decisions into the hands of the government, that a fetus is simply a blasto-cyst and that people from Canada and England come to the United States and only receive major medical procedures when on vacation. She also claimed to be concerned about the infant mortality rate in the United States, yet is a strong supporter of abortion. No need to be concerned about infant mortality rate if a baby never makes it out of the womb.
