Yes, but what if I wanted to say that $0 of my premiums should go to drunk driving accidents, accidents caused by improper use of a roundabout, accidents caused by people stopping in merge lanes, and accidents where the at-fault party is over the age of 75. That would be ridiculous. These are all literally things that would never happen to me (ok, perhaps that last one could happen in 50 years). But I can't do that. Also, while I just made that assertion, the only one I can prove is my age. The only thing that sets my scenario apart from the insurance scenario outlined in this thread, is people who are morally opposed to abortions.
I understand where you may come from, but then when someone posts a picture of a fetus in extremely early development, comparing it to a baby, the "pro-life" camp immediately ignores the difference between the picture of that fetus, and a baby who's minutes away from being born. This is why we, on this side of the argument, view the other side as being ridiculous.

We're in a thread, talking about crazy religious politicians comparing rape to spare tires, and the general issue of health insurance covering abortions, and you're talking about Chewbacca. It doesn't make sense.
....I can play that game too.
