These are state employees. These are not average citizens who are paying for their insurance and receiving this service (an abortion). We are directly worried about state employees receiving the service with taxpayer dollars. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Accorrding to this woman, she thinks that if you're a state employee...you're not an average citizen. I don't think this woman understands completely how a state employee gets their health care.
Depending on what type of state employee you are (hourly, part time, or full time)...you can get health insurance through your job. However, it's not funded by tax payers. I'm not sure where the hell she's getting that from. It's funded by the insurance company that the state uses to give their employee's healthcare.
And even if you're a state employee, you may not get health care if you're not a full time employee. I was a state employee in the state of Maryland. However, I was an hourly employee. Healthcare was not a benefit I got because of this. I had to get my own healthcare coverage on my own. So, as a former state employee of Maryland, I say "fuck you" to this woman for saying that state employees are not average citizens.
I would ask are these women only going to go to female doctors to receive services? Will they avoid going to a male doctor who obviously went to school for this and understands their anatomy and what is going on with them? She totally missed the point of what the interviewer was asking. The point is that pro-choicers, especially pro-choice women, do not want any lawmaker...whether if they are a man or not...to decide what woman can and can't do when it comes to their own reproductive health. It's just that the majority of lawmakers who make these abortion restrictions and are anti-abortion (as well as anti-choice if they are anti-birth control) happen to be men. Men will never go through a pregnancy (unless nature decides to play a prank on them one day), so they should be the last ones to decide what a woman can or cannot do with their pregnancy. That is the main point.
Women aren't not going to avoid male doctors because of that, especially if the male doctor is pro-choice himself (you know...since women aren't the only ones that can be pro-choice).
Yes, if they’ll take a meeting. I will say this … that because we have such a large majority, it’s hard to get through the people that support our issues. We work well with those that agree with us. We just happen to be lucky at this time that the Legislature is the way that it is. Translation: I will only listen and work with those that agree with my opinions.
