Email of the Week: Public Funding of Abortion
Over the weekend, I shared in this blog three of the moral problems the House health care bill as it stands now creates for America. On the show on Sunday night, I shared a fourth.
One of those areas in which the end does not justify the immoral means of getting there is the fact that this bill still allows for federal funds to be used to pay for abortions through the Capps Amendment.
In response, I received a number of emails. One in particular stood out for its utilitarian reasoning. I have posted my response to the author beneath it.
