Because we elect representatives to enact policies and those policies are funded by tax revenue. It would be chaotic to poll everyone to see what they are willing to fund and what they are not willing to fund. Don't you think?
Half of America feels that abortion is murder and we don't want our taxpayer funds going towards murder. If these dems and Neo Progs in general are so pro abortion, let them pay for it through their donations; win/win.
Absolutely no government money is used for abortions. None. Zero. Zilch.

Anyone who says other wise is a complete liar.

What Planned Parenthood does is double dip the taxpayers dollar
1) They get money from the federal government for providing services
2) Then they bill insurance companies for providing abortions
Does anyone know why Planned Parenthood was funded by taxes in the first place? You know, if you started an organization that performs the same activities they do would you get federal funding, too?
Abortion services are about 2-3% of what Planned Parenthood offers and those funds are separate from the government funds as per title X funding rules.
Those against it goes way beyond the 41, and also includes Republicans.
Murkowski, Collins, Snowe, Brown and hell even Thad Cochran are on record opposing the Planned Parenthood cuts
All I know is that PP makes about $300 million a year in profit. They do a boatload of abortions. If you take away the money the government gives them, perhaps they will have to spend their money on those other services instead (if they really think they're that important in comparison to killing babies).
A. Prove it
B. If it is true, that's still 2-3% more than we should pay for
C. Prove that the monies are separated
D. If you love abortion send them a check, don't use my money to fund murder
Federal funds only pay for abortions in cases of rape, incest and imminent danger to the mother. Do you mean to tell me that Conservatives think it is okay to force a woman to relive her rape everyday for 9 months? Of course they do, they have for some reason decided they need to be the voice of God for people.

And do you mean to tell me that abortion will prevent a woman from reliving her rape everyday for 9 months? Now, on anniversaries of her due date or the abortion she'll remember what might have been. 5 years later she'll think about how the kid would be ready for kindegarten. There will be other milestones as well.
