Why would anyone care whether a woman has an abortion or not?

255. Maybe its everyone's business

Are we all in this together? Do we want to reduce harm and trauma in a society at large? Do we want to reduce costly procedures if possible so we can spend such resources more effectively to promote the best aggregate health outcomes?

Or do we just not give a fuck what the nation pays for health care and how the money is tossed around and if any of it could be prevented by the state educating people, providing free services & preventative measure, and promoting wellness.

Seriously....what does a liberal believe? That there is a place for the state to attempt to promote the general welfare of the people? Or that everyone can do whatever the fuck they want whenever without anyone caring at all, no matter what it costs, if it could be reduced and what harm it causes? Liberals or libertarians?

Bottom line: If a state can cost-effectively run programs and provide services that prevent costly, risky or traumatic procedures and make them rare, thereby reducing harm and freeing up resources for other critical health expenditures, then it should absolutely seeks to do so on everyone's behalf.

If the state can, while making a procedure safe, legal and accessible, also promote its rarity with prevention programs, then we should all support this as liberals.
