Anti-abortionists are fooling themselves....

If anti-abortionists think that they will ultimately prevail in not allowing federal funding for abortion, then they are not thinking. As the Democrats march forward with the socialization of healthcare in the US, it will be impossible to not allow federal funding for the procedure.

As time goes by, the nation will eventually become a single payer system where all healthcare will be determined, administered and paid for out of government funds. The current 'healthcare' plan passed by Congress is just the first step in nationalization of health care in the country. In that environment, it will be impossible to not allow for abortions since it is not something that is illegal. Also, there will be no effective way to fight against this in future Congresses since it is something that is currently allowed and covered under some health plans. Remember, abortion currently, is not illegal and will ultimately be allowed under the planned single payer system since it will be argued that since the only options for the 'poor' or anyone else is delivering it inside the government system since it is the only system available to people. Abortions will ultimately be provided by and paid for though government paid for healthcare and will be offered to everyone, paid for by everyone.

As far as I am concerned, it is not worth fighting against. The best option for people is to leave. Besides, Americans will eventually be getting their private healthcare outside of the US probably in South America or here in Asia since abortion will be provided but many other things will not. This will all end up being a complete and total disaster and mess.
