What is worse: Being liberal in a red state or conservative in a blue state?
I’m a Ted Kennedy level liberal. I’d explain that, but that’s not the point of this answer. The point is. . .In 1992 I moved from Ohio into a lovely suburb of Detroit, MI. The community into which I moved was built around small lakes in the early ‘70s. The conditions for purchasing a house (which I wasn’t even told existed, nor was my wife, who is a real estate agent) included, amongst other unenforceable provisions, a prohibition against selling a house to a black, Jewish or non-Christian buyer. At my first Homeowners’ Association meeting two things happened: a) I was elected Association President (why is irrelevant) and 2) the man I replaced said to me that my name didn’t “sound all that kikey,” and that I should watch out because they were moving into the surrounding subdivisions.I told him I didn’t appreciate his assumption that I would agree with or even accept his prejudices, and that I, in fact, did not. His response was to announce loudly that he hoped they were happy because they’d elected a damned lib’rul. Nearly every homeowner in the room was a union member or married to one. There was an unofficial debate among several folks as to whether I should be voted out of office, but in the end, despite my best efforts to get myself out of the job, I remained Association President for about five years.Twenty-some years later, after Michigan had elected yet another Republican governor in the face of Republicans having roadblocked all efforts at highway, bridge and infrastructure funding, I asked why they would vote so clearly against their own interests, at a neighborhood corn roast. I was told, “Because you guys put a n****r in the White House.” That was obviously nonsense, since they had elected Republican lawmakers to redistrict the state. I told them so, and then I went home.I have no idea what it’s like to be Conservative and live in a blue community, but I can tell you it’s pretty tough to be a liberal and live in a red one.
How much will an abortion cost in PA with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance?
The first thing you'll need to do is to call the customer service number that is listed on the back of your ID card. It is highly likely that the NJ plan will not cover anything in PA. If it does, you'll need to ask if the PP is in network or out of network. If it is out of network it is possible that your plan will not cover because some plans do not cover out of network. Then, you'll need to call PP, give them your insurance info, and then ask them how much it will cost. This is because Horizon BCBS has dozens of different plans in NJ and the co-pays can be different with each plan. PP will run the info through their computer and will then be able to give you an estimate. If, since you are out of state, they cannot give you a price they can give you the billing code. Then, you can call your insurance company with that code and find out how much they'll pay.
People From the Philippines: Is it possible to get an abortion in your country?
This is all regarding the Tim Tebow/Pam Tebow controversy. She says her doctors in the Philippines advised her to get an abortion out of medical necessity, but apparently all forms of abortion have been illegal in the Philippines since 1930 and the penalties for breaking the law are quite harsh. Is this law enforced in the Philippines? Would a doctor there ever advise a woman to get an abortion? Perhaps in another country nearby? How does it work?
Why are the pro-life so illiterate about abortions?
Pro "lifers" should really be called pro LIARS as they always claim that Abortion is Murder when Murder has an actual legal meaning.
Does Insurance cover the abortion pill?
Yes it does. It will also cover a surgical abortion, if you are to far along for a medical abortion (pill) which they won't give you after 6 weeks.
What reasons can you be refused a abortion?
I mean is there any medical or physical reasons that a doctor can refuse to give an abortion. Like say you have anemia, or something like that. Also I know some people say it’s wrong, and some people say it’s a choice, but I’m just interested in facts…
How does abortion work if you are 19 weeks pregnant?
I miscarried a baby at 20 weeks and when I got to the hospital he was moving around, I could feel him kicking, but I was in labour, which took a couple of hours, and finally I delivered a dead baby boy. What you go through would be the same, except they burn the unborn baby with a saline solution for around 18 hours before they deliver it, so there will be skin missing, and it will look terrible. Its too bad, I wanted mine, but he died, and you have a live baby, but you don't want it.
