I'm trying to keep the issue/thread tied to Minneapolis, ala' Mr.
Moderator's request.
The short answer is that the availability of birth control and the
prevention of unwanted pregnancies - particularly in high risk/incident
populations IS an issue of federal funding that passes to local governments.
Prevention of unwanted pregnancies is a part of the abortion debate and IS
considered a pro-choice position.
