I have to disagree somewhat with Mike when he suggests
that the poor are left out of the abortion programs.
Here in the New York area, just recently, it was found that
the poor were more inclined to carry a pregnancy to birth
than to accept abortion, even if it were paid for.  The
cost of births is much greater than those for abortion,
so that argument does not seem vital, re. the poor can't
afford abortions, since both are paid through public
welfare.  

I found it interesting, to change the subject, that the
killing of a fetus by bringing bodily harm to a
pregnant woman is considered murder in California.  If
this is so, how can abortion not be murder?
