Americans get a pretty bum deal anyway you look at it for having to choose between only two parties and it's usually nothing more than having to be satisfied with the lesser of two evils. That's my opinion at least.
In any case, cutting funding for Planned Parenthood means much more than just paying for abortions or not, it is basically an infringement on people's right to choose. Sure, there will always be careless people that see this as an easy way out of a (recurring) problem, but for so many women it's the difference between a life they are not ready for or do not want, for whatever reason, and you cannot, as the government, make that decision for anyone, especiall because most of the politicians that vote on this are male and will never, ever have to face a decision like this themselves. It is appaling that people only willing to look as far as their own misery and have a complete disregard for anyone else's. And then there is the fact that, indeed, as Cyndrix said, it will more than likely cost taxpayers a lot more to help support unwanted babies than have their mother go through with an abortion.
And no, a fetus is NOT person yet so do not try and argue that that could in any way, shape or form be a valid reason as well. I'm more than willing to discuss anyone about it who doesn't agree with this view, but I warn you, I won't hold back.
Also, not having a government for a while doesn't really affect anyone at all. Belgium's been withouth a government for almost a year now and life goes on as usual. Well, except that prices there seem to be going up... But yeah, it's not going to be the start of a zombie- or any other apocalypse so don't worry.
