No law could ever cover every medical "what if", but I will state this: if the mother's life was hanging in the balance, any decision that serious would have to be made by the mom, the dad and the physicians.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
My personal /professional life has afforded me the opportunity to interface with the programs offered by the federal government for many years. It is an understatement to say so many talented workers are withering in the great triplicate management of our government. Medicare/Medicaid MUST be revamped to serve those who TRULY need it. The VA MUST be revamped to properly care for our veterans. DOJ - stop the weaponization of our judicial system. The political hunts cost us MILLIONS.

(includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.

We NEED peace in The Mideast. Too much blood has been shed, and for what benefit?
