Hi, Cosmic. Where have you been? Missed you.

I think we should explore the rational and logical outcome of such a policy.

I'm with you. But I don't expect to see anything rational or logical about the discussion of eliminating government funding of abortions. You and I can have such a discussion, but that won't change anything because the level of emotion of the zealots has made costs and benefits irrelevant. And zealots vote in large numbers, so their power is heeded. I don't see any way of holding that off. The argument that people shouldn't have their tax money support things that they abhor is superficially compelling and arguing against it makes one seem unreasonable. I think they've got a winner here.
