Mike, one of the easiest ways to get people to line up behind a politician is to say "I am against giving money for XXXXXXX" where XXXXXXX is whatever thing is bad.

The US government doesn't spend very much money on abortions now, most people pay to go to private clinics.

It's no different from the "have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question. There are few answers that can't be construed badly. Or like takign a product and slapping a "contains no arsenic or poisons" in big letters on the box. That makes you THINK all the others have poison in them.

It's okay, it's just another wonderful part of the politics of grey zone deceptions.
