Yea. Him wanting to ban abortion sucks. But at least he follows it up with, "it is our responsibility to take alternatives to abortion seriously for unwanted kids."

He needs to put his money where his mouth is, then, but we all know that’s hard for a Cosplay Christian to do. When they come to a fork in the road, they prefer to go to the cruel side.

PS I can’t understand why more than half of our national budget goes to the military. Just way too much.

Majority of our budget (~73%) is locked up in "mandatory spending", which is majority Social Security and Medicare. Almost half of our discretionary spending is defense. Overall it's ~14% of our overall budget. That said, it's still obscene, and still ~6x what the feds pay for education.
