Why is it that in Ontario, a mother of a child feels the need, to fund raise for a new cardiopulmonary bypass machine for CHEO? The cost for the new machine is about a half million dollars.
Don't get me wrong. I think it's awesome that this woman is doing this for people like her own daughter Adeline, and for other children just like her. What I have a problem with, is why can't Kathleen Wynne's government pay for this machine? Why is it left up to mothers like Sandra to raise the money? I thought we had public health care in Ontario?
Kathleen Wynne's government does fund abortions every year in Ontario though, to the tune of at least 44 million dollars.
(With 44,091 abortions done in 2010, which is the only reliable number we have for abortions, and at a cost of $1000/abortion. The cost could be even higher since Kathleen Wynne's government continues to hide all information about abortion, so we will never know what we are spending on abortion. It's a secret.)
The pro-abortions tell us that abortions are medically necessary. Which they are not. I would argue though, that these cardiopulmonary bypass machines might actually be medically necessary.
That 44 million could buy 88 of those machines. In one year alone. If we stopped funding abortion in Ontario.
Being a math expert, you do realize that if those 44K abortions were all births -- even uncomplicated births -- the cost to the system would be a fair bit higher than $44 million, yes? Plus, of course, health care for all those new Ontarians, school, etc.
ReplyDeleteSpecious thinking like this does your side no favours.
Fern, I thank goodness you were a live birth and that you had the opportunity to be a daughter, to believe in Santa, the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny, to attend school, to laugh, to be someones friend, in other words that you experience all that life has to offer, even if that sometimes includes suffering, pain and yes even loss. Maybe, just maybe, one of those 44K abortions that Pat talks about would have been someone who would have discovered a cure for a devastating illness or someone who would have made a big contribution to my life and to yours. I trust that you see killing a human is never an answer to anything.
DeleteOnly a warped sense of reality would put abortion forward as a reason to save money on health care and schooling etc. And nothing false about the savings here. The savings are real, and could be applied to actual life saving devices, as I have already pointed out, instead of applying the money to life killing procedures. That is the whole point of a public health care system--to spend money on healing people not on killing them.
ReplyDeleteYour twisted logic does your side no favours.
I am not suggesting abortion as a cost-saving method. I'm simply countering your silly assertion that 44,000 births would be costless on the health system and society in general. Or do you expect families to pay their own obstetric and pediatric care? Because that's the only way there would be cost savings from forced births.
ReplyDeleteFern, I like dogs a lot, friendly ones that is. Your canine friend looks like my kind of dog. Is he/she a shepherd, maybe some husky in there too?
DeleteFern, what you seem to be forgetting is that the money spent on births is an investment in our future. Unborn babies, if allowed to be born, will one day be contributing members of our society and paying taxes to look after yours and my health care costs when we grow old. Thus the costs related to birth are paid back to society many times over. With abortion, the money is wasted. So is the human life that is ended, along with that child’s potential to pay for our future health care costs. Already, we see how our health care system is crumbling under the weight of all the demands on it especially with our aging population. And the “solution” now being proposed for that? Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide of the elderly and the disabled. So we come full circle. If we get used to using killing as a “solution” at the beginning of life, it leads us to using it as a “solution” again at the end of life. Is that the kind of society you want to live in, fern, where we “solve” our problems by killing people? Is that what you want for your own children/grandchildren or the ones of people you love?
DeleteNo forced births. If they want an abortion they can pay for it themselves. That's a cost savings.
