The struggle over the budget seems to become more and more surreal. The efforts to "balance the budget" are not only ludicrous, it's ignorant. I hear folks talking about the "entitlement" programs that must be cut: medicare, medicaid and social security. These same people also want to get people off welfare and back to work.

The United States has the highest infant mortality rate of any first world country. That means infants who were not aborted. We desperately need organization who educate and assist with prenatal development. Americans need to do a bettetr job of taking care of its pregnant women. However, Republicans are using the scary word Abortion (not paid for with federal funds) to ruin a very useful service. Why do they do it? Because they can.
