What would have happened if Mother Mary had been covered by Obamacare?
She would have been able to see a doctor rather than having to drop her spawn in filthy and decidedly unclean stable.
What if that young, poor and uninsured teenage woman had been provided the federal funds (via Obamacare) and facilities (via Planned Parenthood, etc.)
You are aware that Planned Parenthood does far, far more than for pregnant women than provide abortions. In fact it doesn't even advocate them, it just provides the knowledge that abortion is indeed an option.
to avoid the ridicule, ostracizing, persecution and possible stoning because of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy?
She was married at the time of Jesus' supposed birth. Moreover, the aforementioned punishments were ordained and mandated by your "god", so if she were to suffer them then who's fault was that?
Imagine all the great souls who could have been erased from history and the influence of mankind if their parents had been as progressive as Washington's wise men and women!
I'm sorry I must have missed the part in the healthcare debate where they proposed making abortions madatory for all women. Oh yeah, BECAUSE IT NEVER FUCKING HAPPENED!, that's why.
Will Obamacare morph into Herodcare for the unborn?
See my comment above. As for the Herod mention, it's fairly well established that King Herod's "Slaughter of the Innocents" is a biblical embelishment with no basis in fact.

I really tire of seeing the word "Obamacare", it's not like he put together radical healthcare reforms and then handed them down from on high, or even handed over a specific plan to congress for that matter. All this healthcare reform (Which is really Health Insurance reform) that you are bitching about came from the House and Senate and is mostly nothing more than a gift to insurance companies to the tune of millions of new customers and billions of dollars with no oversight or protection for the consumers, and a far cry from the right wing shouts of "socialism", especially when a large majority don't even know what socialism is.[/Rant]
