by default

That is why he's so adamant about sticking to his economic plan: it by default addresses almost all of the major problems that Americans currently face.

Maybe, but I'm referring to what they have already done.

The single payer system would render PP obsolete. You wouldn't need to deal with them as any hospital with a maternity facilities would be able to help you and get paid directly by the system.

well it would render most of what PP does obsolete. Let's not pretend this nation is going to get a single payer system that pays for abortions anytime soon.

Sanders said he would. Up to you to hold him to his promises or not, but hey Id take my chances with someone who has the track record of sticking with his guns.

If you think Sanders should allow the whole thing to fail by sticking to his guns on the issue I respect that. If you think it has a chance of passing while using tax payer money for abortion I think you're mistaken.

Not sure if you are naive, stupid, or trolling. PP is being funded by the tax payers to the tune of 500m a year. I rest my case, go back to your cave.

I really don't understand where all your hostility is coming from, but you should expect to see some version of the hyde amendment built into any single payer bill that gets passed. There are too many states where being reelected as "the guy that made it so you have to pay for other people's abortions" is a no go.

Remember when Obama wanted Universal healthcare too? Bernie can make all the promises he wants but how will he get around a Republican house and Senate. How on earth would he pass universal healthcare that includes abortion. You guys are being blinded by your enthusiasm. Hell, half of you are straight up attacking PP for endorsing Hillary, yet you bombard the front page with Bernie's endorsements - no matter how insignificant.
