But hey, thats just my opinion.

Ok, so you're for litmus tests then to determine how someone got pregnant?
People who wind up having abortions are not always running around "being reckless and having unprotected sex," even though that's a convenient way to pretend things are to make that point.
The whole thing is that whether it's you, Honu, or whoever else, you guys want to increase the difficulty and cost of getting an abortion, an entirely legal medical procedure, because you see every elective abortion as the result of some tramp choosing to be reckless.
I say you cutting off your finger is reckless, but you don't see me trying to write your sawed off finger out of healthcare and making you buy a separate rider in case you f*ck up sometime down the road. I also think having 18, or 20 or however many kids clown car Duggar has is reckless too, but then again, I'm not trying to outlaw it or make it so that the majority of healthcare plans are legally not even able to cover her care in their general plan.
Hate abortion and don't want it done? Outlaw it.
Until then, it's a legal medical procedure, and this amendment (which thank God, doesn't look like it is going to stay in if today's news is any indication) goes much further than the current laws on the books, and to offer that one elective medical procedure that's the result of sex shouldn't be covered while everything elective should be covered if the people meant to or want to have a baby is total BS.
