But I'd be happy to see how he will not fund abortions with federal money, either through medicaid or foreign aid. I can't find that on his issues page on his web site, maybe it's an oversight?

I would like to see them as well. Those I gave you above are all I have been able to find so far.

The statistics about abortions dropping during his term in New York City are unpersuasive, as there is no evidence that he did anything to actually effect them, other than the obvious side effects of him driving down the welfare roles would have also reduced the number of medicaid abortions.

Do you distinguish between a welfare embryo and an independently wealthy embryo? Do you think a woman seeking an abortion is too ethical to use medicaid to fund it?

Your specific comment was regarding medicaid-funded abortion - you say he advocates funding abortion through medicaid, but the numbers don't back you up on that.

If people got off welfare and got real jobs, they would get off medicaid, which is offered to poor people with little or no income.

As to "distinguishing", no, it's offensive to kill any unborn child. However, while I find murder offensive, it's worse when someone makes me pay for it.

A true limited-government conservative wouldn't pay for ANYBODY'S medical care. But even a big-government conservative shouldn't make me pay for things I think are immoral and against the laws of God and man.
