Many women who get abortions use funds, but what are they and where do they come from and who pays for it? Do we as tax payers have to float the bill, or is it swept under the rug? First what are abortion funds; they are a group of people who will help you pay for your abortion when you can't afford it. These groups are almost all volunteers the government has nothing to do with it and they haven't been a part of it since 1977, when the Hyde Amendment was first implemented. There are still loop holes at present, the federal Medicaid program mandates abortion funding in cases of rape or incest, as well as when a pregnant woman's life is endangered by a physical disorder, illness, or injury. Also to add to the mess some states are requiring that women who want an abortion are first required to have a vaginal ultrasound is this a right of the state or is it wrong. I feel this is effecting women's natural right of exercising their fundamental liberties. Because women having abortions are already going through a hard enough time trying to make the best decision possible for them and for a state to require a vaginal ultrasound so the women can see their child is just plan wrong and cruel, as if the future mother doesn't have bad enough feelings about not being able to have her child the choice is hers and only hers. We as people should stand by them and try and do are best to help them through their tough time, but still educate on how to avoid it and prevent it from happening again.
