Thread Name: Abortion: Here we Go...
Subject: RE: Abortion: Here we Go...
Jenny, Kat, I agree that it should be a womans choice and her business and that society should keep out of it.
Now here comes the 'but'. If my tax money is used to fund these abortions, then I, through my duly elected representatives, should have the right to give my input.
I do not feel that abortion should be illegal but neither do I feel that it should be federally funded. I am aware that poor women cannot afford an abortion without financial aid but just what is the percentage who NEED that federal aid? It has been my experience that when the Fed gets involved, the cost goes up. Maybe there is another way. I surely don't know. My problem with the abortion laws as they now stand is the use of federal funds, but I'm sure that those who are anti-war feel that way about their taxes building bombers.
And the beat goes on.
