And you'll notice that now that government ahs gotten more involved with them than ever, their on-time record is the worst it's ever been as is customer satisfaction.

What I am saying is that if someone wants an abortion that's their choice. My issue is that I don't feel that my tax-paying $$$ should contribute to someone's irresponsibility because the boyfriend couldn't take a second to puit a rubber on or the girl couldn't get proper birth control together. It's rewarding idiocy and in the real world that just doesn't happen - nor should it.
Sure, in certain ways I would say the same thing but the 'cow is out of the barn' when it comes to how many things our gov tax payer money gets spent on. Debating whether abortions are funded or not seems sort of superfluous for me when there are a long list of things that are funded...but we will get in a debate about our funding of an Iraq war that is wrong in many ways that kills people too.
