Very interesting, E...both the post and the non-reponses... ...from the blind Bush faithful. Are you as mystified as me as to why the corrupt zealots at the top of the Republican party want global anti-abortion as well as anti-birth control measures ... i.e. MORE PEOPLE ... born? What's 'the bottom line?' I'm really interested in your views on this matter. bia

Let me know when you and Bonnie establish your non-profit orginization and begin your fund raising efforts. I'm sure your concern extends beyond the seat at your computer. BTW, what the piece fails to mention is exactly why it is the responibility of US taxpayers to foot the bill. Perhaps you can address that.

I thought some Bush fan would explain why this is a good thing, but no one did. Any comments here? " In a sincere, well-meant and tragic political maneuver, President Bush is blocking $34 million meant for the United Nations Population Fund. " I'm less of a Bush fan than I used to be but I guess you could still consider me to be one. On this issue I am. I consider it a good thing because 1 - I am against abortion and the UN Population Fund supports abortion. Perhaps the money could be given to some organization that does not support abortion if a suitable one can be found. 2 - If we are going to send money for third world contraception I'm not sure that a UN group is the best place to send the money. The US could run its own aid program or better yet the money could be funneled through some non-government group. 3 - Some of the money goes not only to support abortion but to China which coerces abortion. Supposedly none of the money goes directly to the forced abortion program, but even if this is true it doesn't make much difference in my opinion. Would it be ok for me to give money to Al-Qaida if I could be sure that none of my money would be directly used for terrorism? Tim
