Ted, And if only your concern for the oppressed extended to the woman of Africa who has been raped by an aids infected man and wishes to abort the fetus. Its very probable that the organizations that could provide the abortion assistance will be the same ones cut off from US aid by Bush. I think you are stretching it a bit. I am not sure why the money to pay for this abortion would have to go from the US treasury. I am sure these organizations accept private donations. Or the person in question can pay with her own money, borrow money from relatives, or ask their local government or charitable organizations for help. For example, you can devote the entire tax cut that you will receive to these causes, and thus reverse both W's decisions: - to let you keep more of your money - to reduce the US subsidy for abortions Joe

Not providing aid to some one is not oppressing them or screwing them. If the aid is actually a good thing and the need for it is great that reducing or eliminating the aid might amount to showing a lack of compassion but it is not oppression or abuse in any way. For you to say that cutting off such aid is oppression or screwing someone would be like me saying that you have to contribute to a program that will develop the ANWR and send the oil to poor people who need it to heat there houses, and that if the American government stopped forcing you to pay for this thing which you see as horrible (drilling in the ANWR) then it would be guilty of oppressing and screwing the poor people who would have benefited from the oil.
