Nothing in the article said that taxpayers were going to have to foot the bill. Taxpayers should provide the woman access to the clinic though, including transportation, since it is taxpayers who placed the woman where abortion is now inaccessible.

Those were the important parts. The comparison to boob jobs was related to whether taxpayers should pay, not a comparison to an abortion. But of course, I'm sure you knew that.

If a woman has the means for the abortion though, she should be allowed to have one. But all costs should be paid by the prisoner.
If the woman doesn't surrender her child for adoption, taxpayers will be forced to support the child until adulthood. If the woman is eligible for medicaid, she would eligible to have her abortion paid for if it is a result of rape, incest, or threatening her life. Is an imprisoned woman not entitled to the same medical care as a non-imprisoned woman?
