Instead of relying so much on the profit from abortion, Big Abortion now has increased the interventions for each customer and increased or secured the profit from each of these interventions. Instead of $10 a month for the pill until a customer errs and comes in for a $500 abortion, Big Abortion can gain $40 or $50 dollars every month for her regular method plus $20, $30, or $40 dollars every time she thinks she might have erred. If she remains with child after the first week in spite of this hormonal assault, she can fall back on the more traditional chemical abortion, or even surgical abortion as long as she can find one of the dwindling number of providers. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/30/big-abortion%e2%80%99s-evolving-profit-structure-and-the-u-s-health-care-reform-package/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/30/abortion-funding-fight-could-complicate-defense-spending-legislation/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/30/abortion-funding-fight-could-complicate-defense-spending-legislation/#comments Wed, 30 May 2012 17:53:36 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=134885 Washington Times: Democrats have tried in the past to overturn the 16-year-old ban on military funding for abortion except when the mother’s life is at stake, but the latest attempt picked up some bipartisan traction last week in the Armed Services Committee, with GOP Sens.
