The list is a long one. You may not see as much of it up in
Massachusetts, which has far fewer christian crazies than other parts of
the country.


As far as I know getting an abortion is perfectly legal in the USA. The
question, as it also applies to your other cites, is who pays for them?
Is it right to mandate that taxpayers fund every issue and program
regardless of personal views? They are political issues, not
religious issues.



You're not up to speed on the abortion issue. In many red states, the
clinics that provided them have been shut down, typically by red state
governors passing rules aimed solely at shutting them down. Oh, and as
for your other comments, I was addressing the religious pressure that is
bringing about these restrictions, not their financial impact, if any.
