Whoa! Abortion on demand means that the state should pay for your abortion just for you asking, doesnt it? This, I believe is what LK had in mind. Given this, I was merely pointing out that not having on abortion on demand does not mean that the state does not approve of abortion, far from it. It, again (sigh), only means that they wont do it for you, you have to get it done with your own money. If by abortion on demand LK meant just that the state wont make it illegal for you to get an abortion, then obviously my remarks are inappropriate, but I dont believe thats what he meant. AGAIN, ALL I WAS SHOWING (and effectively i might add) IS THAT THE FACT THAT THE STATE DOESNT PAY FOR ABORTIONS DOESNT MEAN THAT IT THINKS IT IS NOT OKAY FOR POOR PEOPLE TO HAVE THEM, UNDERSTAND?
