Well how about this for hubris....naming a program KidCare and then using state money to pay for abortions.....Kid Care or Kid Kill. Well there is another kid taken care of!.....

The AK Dept. of Health and Social Services said today that 664 abortions were funded last year through Denali KidCare.
Gov. Sean Parnell (pictured below left) recently vetoed money to expand Denali KidCare, the health care program for low income kids and pregnant women, because some of the money funds abortions. Parnell said at the time that the program funded "hundreds" of abortions. Anchorage Democratic Sen. Bettye Davis had disputed that, saying a "very small number" of abortions are funded.
Women on Denali KidCare can have an abortion funded if a physician decides it's "medically necessary." The state doesn't define what is "medically necessary," leaving that to be determined by the treating physician....There were 1,875 abortions performed in AK in 2009. It's quite obvious that AK abortionists are using their own definition "medically necessary" when around 8% of the pregnant women enrolled in Denali KidCare get "medically necessary" abortions and "medically necessary" abortions make up more than a third of the state's abortions.Alaskans have their Supreme Court to thank for this ridiculous scenario where a fund designed to help children and give prenatal care to pregnant women turns into an abortion fund which funds a third of the state's abortions.
There were 55,754 Alaskans enrolled in Denali KidCare last year, including 7,947 pregnant women.
