Boxer: Abortion = Viagra
December 10, 2009
Barbara Boxer claims an erection improving pill is just like abortion.
As abortion took center stage in the Senate’s historic debate over health care reform, Sen. Barbara Boxer was right in the middle of the fight, comparing an effort to limit women’s access to abortion to restricting men’s access to Viagra.
Her combative stance on the issue was a familiar one for the third-term Democrat, whose support of abortion rights has been central to her political career.
“Why are women being singled out here? It’s so unfair,” Boxer said on the Senate floor Tuesday. “We don’t tell men that if they want to … buy insurance coverage through their pharmaceutical plan for Viagra that they can’t do it.”
I have to agree with her in one way: the government should never, every pay for either Viagra or abortions.
