Yep, and that would be a huge improvement, and a place to start the argument. It is incredible that we are still fighting over partial- birth abortion.....

I wonder what fraction of the population would agree with the proposition that abortion is such a public good that it should be subsidized?

Of course the problem enters when folk attempt to define the words "absolutely necessary." Some say they refer to circumstances where pregnant women are poor and scared. Others say they refer to circumstances where pregnant women simply want to abort their children. Still others claim they refer to circumstances where women get pregnant from rape and/or incest, and yet others claim they refer to circumstances where pregnant women's lives are threatened. Of course here the word "threatened" then must then be defined, as some claim a woman's life is threatened merely when she suffers the stress of an "unwanted" pregnancy. I say let the folk kill their children however they please, even after they are born (I cannot see how we have a moral obligation to stop them here and yet have none when they kill their children only seconds away from birth), but they must do it at their own expense.
