ST. PAUL, May 15, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - After 15 years of taxpayer-funded abortions, Minnesotans have funded more than 58,000 abortions at a cost of over $18 million, according to a just-released report from the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS). Nearly all of these abortions have been elective.

Since its successful 1995 challenge to Minnesota’s law that prohibited funding of most abortions, the state’s abortion industry has steadily increased its procedure numbers and revenue by marketing taxpayer-funded abortions to low-income women. Taxpayers now pay for 32.7 percent of all abortions performed in the state — the highest percentage ever.

...

Minnesota taxpayers have been required to fund elective abortions since the Minnesota Supreme Court’s 1995 Doe v. Gomez ruling. In that decision, the Court created a state “right” to abortion on demand and obligated all taxpayers to fund abortions.

Need to overturn this nonsense of the courts and let the legislature decide what taxpayers will fund...

Or maybe in the constitution of Minnesota the Minnesota courts decide where tax dollars are spent (?)

58K dead babies in just one state ... and we wonder why this country is going downhill so fast. G-D forgive us.

Maybe some in Minnesota it is more important to fund a stadium for the Vikings than abortion.

The good people of Minnesota need to stop this nonsense, and regain control of their state government...

Very depressing Minnesota ping

The good people of Minnesota need to stop this nonsense, and regain control of their state government...

The good people of Minnesota are greatly outnumbered by the others.

I was going to say, “And some wonder why we have been invaded and at the bottom of the slippery slope while the avalanche we created on the way down gains velocity.”

Amen!

While Democrats crave to regulate every transaction an investment bank makes, so there are only good trades...No regulation to spare the taxpayers from funding ending a healthy, normal pregnancy, in abortion.

A whole city of taxpayers that no longer exist. Amazing.

Kinda makes Hitler look like a kindergardener.

1 of the 58,000 may have cured cancer. Perhaps that person was a white-hispanic.

Look at it this way, 29,500 dead gang bangers. 58,000 democrat voters. 58.000 @ 1k ea X 5 =$290.000.000 of taxpayers money that must be earned before you can get the 58M to pay the murders. That is provided you don't live in California where this would be an oops and they would borrow the money and pay twice the cost.

Not exactly sure what you are trying to say, but ok.

Thanks topher.

It looks like he's trying to say "we're better off without those less-than-humans, whose lives are unworthy of living".

It sounded better in the original German.

I was bored. What I was thinking is it's not so simple as “its my body” a tested fraze that is crafted to be simple and yet has all kinds of consequences. I still can't get over zero and others voting to place a live human into the freezer to murder John or Jane.

I’m having trouble reconciling Post #12 and Post #16 as coming from even remotely the same point of view.
