    Nice sound byte stuff, though.

    Notice you didn't have any statistics to show that abortions performed in abortion mills that once but no longer received US funding increased after funding was cut-off.

    Money, my friend, is fungible.  You know that.  I know that.  We all know that.

    If funding contraceptives and "family planning" were as effective in reducing the number of abortions as you'd have us believe it is then the "planning" organizations in other countries would better serve their own clients if they stopped performing abortions altogether and instead used the money spent on those procedures to provide condoms and counseling.

    Alas, that's not what they do.  Because their purpose isn't to prevent abortion... its to prevent children.  One way or the other.

    On the broader point, lets be honest with ourselves.  There is ZERO way to legitimately argue that spending US tax dollars to fund abortions is in any way a pro-life approach.  To even make the argument robs you of credibility.

    ...if condoms and "planning" could so dramatically reduce the number of abortions then each of the "planning" services that will now receive money from the US taxpayer would be better served if they abandoned abortions altogether, applying EVERY dollar to buying condoms and contraception.

    But they won't.  Again... because that's not the reason these organizations exist.
