"Republicans are against abortion until their daughters need one. Democrats are for abortion until their daughter wants one. (Grace McGarvie) The above quote illustrates the ambivalence that most/everybody, regardless of their political leanings, feels when it comes to abortion and as noted by Critchlow, the degree of ambivalence escalates as people consider the subject of government funding of abortion. This paper examines supporting and opposing views of the government funding of abortion. Once these views are delineated, this writer's..."

Abstract
This paper examines how politics have long served as an impetus for artistic creation. The paper explains that artwork commonly reflects not only a personal vision, but a communal one, touching on themes that are recognizable to a large body of people. The paper further explains that while often seen as polar opposites, the political world and the art world are in fact not separate entities, but frequently intermingle. The paper looks at how, throughout the past several centuries, political establishments around the world have provided creative fuel for a wide array of art and how in recent years governments from various countries have begun extensively funding new museums and exhibitions, enabling art to reach the attention of the masses. The paper also suggests that while governments around the world have worked hard to censor art they deem politically dangerous or obscene, they have also worked towards funding projects by artists past and present. In conclusion, the paper shows that whether for good or evil, politics and art are parts of a whole, bouncing and reflecting off of each other.

From the Paper
"Politics, being the shared link between a mass of people, have naturally entered into the artistic repertoire of important and frequent themes. From Diego Rivera's "Man at the Crossroads," depicting Trotsky and Lenin in Rockefeller's commissioned all-American mural, to Dana Shutz's "Men's Retreat," showing Bush's cabinet walking blindfolded through the forest, artwork has often been about political subversion. Politically motivated artwork is not restricted to paintings either, there are literally millions of films, photos, plays, sculptures, drawings, music, and other forms of art that all deal with a need for political change.
With such radical work, however, comes censorship. The political world has innate control over the art world because of its power."

From the Paper
"The issue of abortion is one of the most divisive social and political issue in America today. There are two opposing armies of dedicated true-believers, one opposing abortion under any circumstances because they view it as the murder of an unborn child, and the other upholding the idea of choice as an absolute allowing the woman to secure an abortion without hindrance at any point in her pregnancy. "

"Abortion and the Public Interest

Introduction:
The intention of the following pages is to explore the way in which arguments are constructed for the pro and con positions regarding government funding for abortions. Although both positions will be summarized, the pro position will be examined in more detail.

The Abortion Polarities:
The essential abortion "debate" consists of two diametrically opposed positions. Those who favor abortion as an available option for women under a number of conditions, generally labeled the "pro-choice" position. Those of this mind-set contend that the fetus is essentially not yet human life, but tissue that is ..."

Abstract
This paper argues that the U.S. government has been woefully remiss in addressing the deepening crisis in the public schools. The paper argues that the government's answer is always to throw more money at the educational system in a manner that only tends to deepen the crisis. The paper maintains that the problems with the public school system lay not in the lack of money being provided by the government, but in how the funds are allotted toward public education and the criteria for eligibility of those funds.

From the Paper
"There is a lot of talk today about education, specifically the problems with our Public schools. It seems no matter what the problem, the solution is always to tax the people. The message from Congress to this regard is loud and clear: We like the public school system so much that we'll tax you billions of dollars to pay for it; we'll pass laws to mandate standardized national testing and curriculums; and we'll increase the Department of Education's budget every year. However, they don't like public schools enough to send their children there. Congress thinks Public schools are a great idea for our kids, but not for theirs. The three R's of education are not reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic -- they're retreating, requiring, and rejecting. If Congresspersons aren't willing to risk their own children's futures on a failing public education system why are we?"

Abstract
This paper supports the argument that educating students to use the Internet is one of the best and most effective ways of insuring their success once they graduate. The author argues that without the ability to use the knowledge that is available on the Internet, or World Wide Web, it is impossible to succeed in today's world. The Internet also serves as a window to the world for today's students and allows them to learn about other societies and promotes global awareness. The author argues that without more government funding these skills will only be available to the wealthy who attend private schools, when these skills could open up the world to all students, rich or poor.

From the Paper
"The Internet allows children to learn more about themselves and the world around them. The federal government currently allocates only about six percent of the funding for public schools with state and local governments picking up the remainder of the tab. he federal government deeply affects education through its policy making, regulatory, research and development activities. The government must further support and urge local and state governments to provide Internet access to children and to foster and support initiatives and activities that will enhance the learning process utilizing the Internet. What we put in our students today, they will give back ten times tomorrow."

Abstract

From the Paper
"Should governments control public funding in order to shape the arts world addressing diverse audiences and determining not only what art events are offered but also who should attend. Opinion on this issue is divided ..."

Abstract
The paper asserts that in encouraging the federal government to implement new housing initiatives, certain demographics should certainly be targeted. To date, much of the housing in Canada accommodates only those who can afford to live in adequate housing for fairly ludicrous prices. The paper relates that Vancouver in particular is an extremely expensive place to live in, and is Canada's premier city for homelessness. The paper discusses how lack of federal government funding towards public housing has led to many citizens - particularly those who earn lower incomes, whether they be single, families, senior or immigrants - living on the streets. The paper contends that it is for this reason that lower income bracket families and individuals should be targeted in new funding initiatives, as they are the members of a community that currently face problems with housing expenses.

Abstract
This paper examines and evaluates the ongoing debate across Canada over government funding of organizations to challenge violations by the federal government of rights protected under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms requires examining the issues involved and judging the relative merits of the arguments for and against government funding. In many cases, the paper adds, the relative merits of these respective arguments depend upon the specific violation involved, but in general terms, advocates of government funding for challenges offer the most convincing arguments.
