- Yes, but that is because it is generally not paid for by someone other
- than the patient [Blue Cross, taxpayer] and so it follows the law of
- supply and demand FAR more than other medical expenses. Watch costs
- skyrocket once taxpayers start footing the bill.

- I don't know what world you live in, Adrienne, but I can support my
- three daughters with $900 per month with NO trouble at all. 'course, I do
- have to support my wife and me too, and we have to keep up house
- payments, but that's got damn little to do with our three kids.

- That does it: from now on, until I am corrected, I will call Adrienne
- "pro-abortion", not "pro-choice": she never did encourage the other
- two choices (keep the child, put up for adoption) anyway, but that is
- not sufficient reason to call her pro-abortion. This last statement
- of hers, by itself, would not be enough either, it was just the last straw.
