I'm 100% pro choice.  Their body, their choice.  To me healthcare and college are apples and oranges.  Everyone needs healthcare, not everyone needs college.  I just think trades are grossly underrated.  I think, just my opinion, we should move away from guilting people into going to college.  

And yeah, 6 years of college and 19 years of work...  yeah, I have that attitude.  I'll accept that.

I still think the larger issue is predatory profit schools that are a giant scam.  

I’m not saying you aren’t pro-choice, I’m saying that your argument against higher education is very reminiscent to other people’s arguments towards abortion or healthcare.

Sure, higher education and healthcare aren’t the same but I think it’s a valid comparison when your argument is about poor choices, a lot of people have health issues as a direct result of poor choices so why are you ok with subsidizing them?

Because not having healthcare can mean death.  If someone doesn't go to Uni they aren't going to die.
