produces poor engineers and doctors...that's not good for the country. This is a major reason why it makes sense to keep our "Golden Door" open...if we need more engineers and doctors, there are many elsewhere in the world who would love to pursue such careers in a country that values true freedom for them to live the lives they've always wanted. Heck, even Russia and China value the Arts of Music and Dance, and provide "taxpayer" funding ;-)

While I have your attention, please answer my very clear question regarding the rights of innocent women who have been forced or coerced into pregnancies they never wanted...should they be able to choose the option of abortion... without interference from government intrusion...or must they endure the potential physical, mental and emotional harm for the rest of their lives?...Another question...in your mind, is this part of God's plan?
