In #154, you posted: “Why did Mike Huckabee set up a private fund that paid for abortions for Medicaid recipients back in 96?”

In #162, you posted: “The Governor, a Republican, said yesterday that private donations would finance abortions requested by Medicaid-eligible victims of rape or incest until 1998, when Arkansas voters would decide whether to amend the state constitution to bring it into harmony with Federal law.”

So Governor Huckabee set up the fund because of a conflict between the state constitution and federal law. Why did you ask?
