The argument for state funding for abortion is not that the states should
do everything anyone wants as watmath!cbostrum claims  (in arguing that it
is equivalent to "money on demand".  Once the state agrees to pay for some
group's (poor, old, or whatever) medical care it should pay for all such care.
It is beyond me why (since abortion is legal) the state should be willing to
pay for the costs of childbirth and not those of abortion.  The only conceivable
reason for this would be to increase the population, and the time when that was
reasonable is long gone.
