- The thing that I'm curious about is how you reconcile the position
- of favoring vouchers for private schools while opposing funding of abortion.
- It seems to me that your position is just as flimsy as that of the people
- who favor funding for abortion but oppose vouchers. I'm obviously biased on
- the subject, but I would have thought that the only thoroughly consistent
- positions are to either oppose government funding of both (which, for the
- record, is where I stand), or to favor funding for both (the ultimate "Big
- Government" position).
