Few subjects fuel rabid emotional hatred as effectively as the debate over abortion. People commit murder over abortion with alarming frequency. Any time some legislation comes up that involves healthcare there is a huge outpouring of rhetoric and demonstrations on both sides. This always causes huge delays in the legislation and costs taxpayers a large amount of money while the subject is endlessly debated.
In my opinion there is only one subject that is open for debate, and that is, when does a embryo become a human baby? That subject has been legally decided by Roe vs. Wade which legalized abortion. Further debate on the subject is simply a religious issue, and the constitution forbids the government to take sides in a religious issue. Therefore, further debate and any law that specifically forbids use of government money to fund abortions is unconstitutional and therefore illegal. If someone decides to introduce a bill reversing Roe vs. Wade, and it passes, and is approved by the supreme court, then things can change. But until then it is a non-issue. The government should stop wasting time and money debating something that has already been decided.
As for my own views on the subject...Since I am unlikely to ever become pregnant it is totally irrelevant.
