...Kansas state legislature has passed legislation with so many regulations of abortion clinics and no time to comply...

...the new (Republican) Governor...has cut virtually all funding for social services of all kinds, reduced school budgets to the tune of several thousand jobs eliminated...

Meanwhile, kids who don't speak English are getting no education.

All different issues.

Government spending has been on a 20-year binge and we have come to expect social services that cannot be paid for in today's economy.

The abortions issue is like homosexuality and other social issues. It should be the concern of government only after the real jobs are done. A libertarian might suggest that they are not the government's place at all.

Children who do not speak English are almost always the product of illegal aliens. In some parts of Texas and California, they are almsot the only kids in the public school system. Their parents pay nothing but a little bit of sales tax, in most cases. That is one reason for the movement to raise sales tax in many parts of the country.
