Quick tangent re: abortion. I saw a headline on one of my various right-wing blogs about a Clinton Conspiracy to fund abortions for Medicaid recipients, and the argument seemed to be that it was a poor use of taxpayer money (rather than the "it's morally wrong" argument). But it seems like the bill to taxpayers for an abortion and related medical expenses would be much less than at least 18 years of Medicaid bills for a newborn and mother.
Can one think that abortion is wrong, but still support it for Medicaid recipients on the argument that if it's going to be legal, we should at least make it as inexpensive as possible?
