Nah, this won't get ugly. I pose a question to you, as you seem to side with Kerry on most of the issues;

You state that medicare should cover abortion for a "valid reason". Please define "valid reason". How are you going to enforce or determine if the reason is "valid"? Are you going to write a huge bill to state what is valid and what isn't, or leave it to the discretion of the doctors? If you leave it to their discretion, there will be turmoil; if you try to draw the line as to what is a "valid reason" and what isn't, there will be HUGE controversy. Even then, someone could artificially create a "valid reason"... see where I'm going with this? It simply is NOT enforceable; you either outlaw abortion/PBA, or allow it. There simply is no other alternative.

Personally, I think abortion should be legal for the simple fact that if abortion isn't legalized and controlled in a clean and safe environment, people will practice it anyway with much more severe dangers and consequences (see coat hanger).




Bottom line is this; Kerry can NOT keep these three promises;
1. Increase spending on social programs
2. Decrease deficit
3. Maintain low taxes

Kerry is a snake oil salesman... and a very good one at that...
