- The problem with your point is that the government already picks up the
- tab for education. Everybody gets, if they choose, an education from K-12
- through the state with federal support. However, not everyone has an
- abortion or can (like men, another form of discrimination :).
-
- The voucher system will not require any extra funds to be used for the
- system. Only the amount spent on the child shall the parents have access
- to. Abortion will require millions in funding not accounted for now.
