There is a big gap between doing nothing to stop abortion and forcing taxpayers, many of whom believe the practice to be nothing short of murder, to pay for it.
If abortion is a "choice", why should taxpayers have to pay for it?
I agree with you.
I do not support public funding - no way.
Rudy does - I don’t.
I will still vote for him.
This issue will never come to his desk. NEVER
Amen! It is ridiculous to assert that the president has no power over the abortion issue. Who will nominate Ginsberg’s replacement? Who has the power to veto public funding for abortions? Here, I thought it was the President.
As you say, they may not be able to stop it, but they can sure as heck help by not encouraging it and making me pay for it.
I have always argued to my socially conservative Democrat friends and family (being from Pittsburgh, I know quite a few of those strange creatures) that a vote for a pro-aborion candidate at the federal level is a vote for abortion. I have no intention of being a hypocrite by voting for a pro-abortion Republican. They can call me a traitor and they can call me naive. I don’t care, I believe that this is a matter of life and death. You've got to draw a line somewhere folks, otherwise I am just voting for a walking pig.
