Your assertions about abortion and Obamacare are pretty laughable. First, legislating against abortion isn't legislating against personal responsibility. If there was personal responsibility involved it would have happened before the child was conceived. The legislation is about protecting a defenseless human being. By your logic if a mother kills her 7-year-old that shouldn't be a crime either. She took the personal responsibility of terminating a life that she could not care for.

UnAffordable Healthcare Act making people responsible for their own healthcare? R u serious? It makes people purchase healthcare at ever-increasing costs under the threat of massive fines and prison. It takes away free market competition and adds new taxes on medical devices while increasing overall costs. Many insurers are now leaving states where there are exchanges because they can't survive without making any profit. Doctors are quitting in numbers higher than ever before. Worst of all, employers are taking full-time employees and making them part-timers at 29 1/2 hours a week, making Americans poorer. For those who are still full-time the employee contribution is increasing.

Obamacare isn't responsibility, it's European-style socialism, and bad one at that. It increases waiting times before appointments and turns the IRS into the enforcing agency. You really want the IRS knowing all your healthcare information and making life and death decisions? I don't.


I don't remember that congress ever shutting down Bush administration. If they did any damage, it was by standing aside and let the Bush administration start two wars without paying for them.

Now as for abortion, a 7 year old can live on his own. His or her needs can be met by anyone. You cannot be saddled with a 7 year old against your will. Otherwise, that would pretty much be slavery.

As for ACA, and how affordable it is, the price of buying healthcare in California is dropping, since the companies have to compete now to lower their prices. It doesn't take away free market at all, on the contrary. I suppose it depends if governors want to implement it as they should or not. And it's your personal responsibility not to be a burden when you get sick.
