Means of birth control are *already* available to everyone
withOUT government funding.  I fail to see why it is the
govt's responsibility to fund birth control.  If a person
is too poor to avoid bc, then I am sure he/she can obtain
it free from a myriad of sources.  Let us keep the govt
out of this.

As for abortions during the first trimester, but not during
the latter two, that compromise is unlikely to go over well
with the anti-abortionists.  You are still allowing murder,
and on that there is little room for convenient compromise.

(Why does the govt enter here, but not in birth control?
Because murder is a capital crime, pregnancy is not.)
