Good thing it's your logic and not mine then, heh.

But I digress. Abortion is an elective procedure because, more often than not, it's the consequence of a freely taken lifestyle choice. And I'm not sure anybody should fund anybody else's lifestyle choices - children (or lack thereof) included.

If you insist on universal/socialised healthcare (ugh) then it should at the very least be universal (in addition to being rubbish) but only for non-elective and emergency procedures. Having elective and other unnecessary procedures paid for surely devalues the entire point of affordable healthcare by kicking up its cost p/person, no?
