Whatever happened to logic?

The Missouri House of Representatives today voted 96-59 to delete the funding for contraception and infertility treatments after Rep. Susan Phillips told lawmakers that anti-abortion groups such as Missouri Right to Life were opposed to the spending.

The clinics that receive the most funding from this bill are those in poor, urban neighborhoods that help women in those areas learn valuable family planning skills.

Now...It's been a while, but let's see if i remember my logic class in college:

If the majority of unwanted pregnancies occur in the poorest neighborhoods in the country, and women in unwanted pregnancies are more likely than other women to have abortions. Then it's safe to say that most abortions occur in the poorest neighborhoods in the country, right?

and...

If most abortions occur in the poorest neighborhoods in the country, and the only way to stop people from having abortions is to stop people from getting pregnant, and aside from abstinence, the only way to stop people from getting pregnant is contraception...then it seems fair to say that providing family planning and contraception to women in these poor neighborhoods is a crucial strategy towards lowering the abortion rate there.

So explain this to me:

WHY IS EVERYONE GOING COMPLETELY INSANE?

well...everyone but this guy.

it's becoming repetitive, but...

fix your jones for justice for all by donating @ naral.org, plannedparenthood.org, moveon.org, aclu.org, or all four.
