...took President Bush less than two months to break his campaign pledge to restrict carbon-dioxide emissions from coal-fired electric-utility plants, despite widespread scientific agreement that such emissions contribute to global warming [NATION, March 26].

They don't care about restrictions on what they can raise because they don't raise. They have all the money they need. Result? The current epidemic...

In 1977, Congress passed the Hyde amendment, banning the use of federal Medicaid dollars for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest or if the mother's life is at risk. Since then, states have enjoyed a certain degree of freedom when they move to restrict state Medicare funding of abortions...
