As a result, beginning in 1977 language was added to provide for such circumstances; however, the exact wording has varied from one year to the next, subject to the outcome of Congressional bargaining on the issue."

Why? Simply because you say so? That dog won’t hunt.

> Life, liberty and happiness cannot be pursued when you are ill and being destroyed financially

Of course it can. You can pursue it to your heart’s content, or discontent. Pursuit is no guarantee of a capture.

> Comparing the need for abortion to save the life of the mother is hardly comparable to Lasik surgery.

Even though this wasn’t directed at me, I’ll agree with you. Given that less than 1% occur for this reason, the comparison is valid.

> I mean what do you guys use for blood in your veins?

Personally, I use blood. And asking an ad-homonym question like that is analogous to someone asking you what you use for logic in your brain. Not a real kind question, is it?
