There is not a dime in this bill that will go for an abortion. But we have heard from the other side that money is fungible and so that the money that otherwise might be freed up could be seen for abortion. The United States allocates more or close to $1 billion every year in economic aid to Israel. Abortion is legal in Israel, and, in some cases, the government of Israel will fund poor women abortions. How can the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Smith) support money for economic aid to Israel if he really believes the fungibility argument?
