Abortion isn't simply the case of another medical procedure for government to subsidize. A sizeable minority in the country think of it as murder on a massive scale. Its an issue more similar to slavery then heart surgery in that it is an extremly controversial issue where both sides think the other is ignoreing or abuseing basic human rights. Generally the government should stay out of funding such highly controversial things. Yes most Americans support the right to an abortion but I don't think most Americans support tax dollars going to fund abortions. Bush is by fiat reversing a policy change that Clinton imposed by similar fiat. The opposition to blocking aid to other activities is obviously important if the ban on such aid is to be meaningful. Any money saved in other areas by the fact that government is paying for them, can be used for abortion. A similar arguement can be used against aid to totalitarian opressive dictatorships even for other things besides the military, the secret police and torture devices. Any money saved on transportation or food or medical supplies can be spent on murder, imprisonment and torture. Tim
