Sorry but they (Janesville WI PP) obviously don't advertise their free abortion services on the web and as I stated before once a pregnant woman decides she's going through with a pregnancy she is 'discharged' from PP and referred to BadgerCare. I remember reading of a woman Dr. from Madison coming down twice a week to provide abortion services out of PP's Janesville clinic (for what patients could afford) after GM closed their plant a few years back but not sure if that continues.

BTW I think the platform of the GOP being fiscally conservative is nothing more than words, a paper tiger. Similar to libs platform of being for the average Joe while sneaking in a million average Jose's.

Well, understandable they wouldn't advertise, seeing as how it's just begging for crazy people to show up to threaten and harass women and shoot doctors. But BadgerCare clearly doesn't cover abortions, as you said they're sending women there for prenatal care (I assume because it would be cheaper than continuing with PP. PP is pretty good about trying to keep costs as low for their clientele as they can).

I think the immigration situation is a lot more complicated than "keep 'em out" as our economy takes advantage of immigrant labor for a lot of things. Speaking of the GOP, it's a bit ironic, but Ayn Rand, one of the beloveds of the Right, was ardently in favor of an open door policy on immigration, having been an immigrant herself. She didn't get her citizenship until she married an American.

If only the mother had shown some individual responsibility 16 years ago, you know considering her and her chauvinist mate's inability to financially provide for even the basics including insurance and chosen to abort the daughter, the mother wouldn't be in jail today.

Or just maybe, at the time, she lived 70 miles from the nearest abortion clinic and rather than experience any 'undue' burdens at the time she chose the burden of a child.

I'm also presuming she has more than one child, since time away from family was among the list of burdens cited, compounding the situation times the number of children these two idiots have conceived.
