You obviously have been out of the area when all the items you mentioned were discussed - go back as far as you can and you will see there was heavy discussion on wages, health insurance, etc....the only ones who seem to be doing well are the illegals, and they shouldn't even qualify for any of the above. It might be interesting reading for you if you go back far enough. As for the abortion issue, that is just not a good moral decision for anyone. There are too many ways to prevent things, rape or no rape, and as it was already pointed out by one intelligent soul - adoption can always be initiated so that person doesn't have to "live with the end result" as it was so eloquently put a few strings back....Have a great holiday weekend.
