You see, she has asthma and can't work. But she can have wild,
passionate sex and get pregnant, then go through childbirth at least
twice.


Are you saying that asthma sufferers should not be allowed to have wild,
passionate sex or become parents? How about cancer patients or blind people
or
amputees?


I am again forced to agree with Brian.

And not just "asthma" patients, but COPD'ers who smell of cigarette smoke,
"back pain" patients who exacerbated their "disabling" back pain while riding
their motorcycle or out drinking all night, or diabetics who present in DKA who
refuse to comply with their MD's plan-of-care.

People who have bonafide needs should get the care they need. Those who
have needs but refuse to do what is necessary to "get fixed" yet demand that
"we" do "something" to get them better need to be given the boot and a referal
to a funeral home director with pre-paid plans.
