Why are we talking about funding abortions? I keep reading the OP, and she asked why you don't want to fund child care for, you know, the living children.
Oh, wait ... I know.
Because you don't have an answer to rank hypocrisy and you need to change the subject.
Conservatives. Every child is a gift from God, until the moment the head crowns ...
Why does the hard left insist on spending more on social programs but refuse to include greater accountability for violators? Why do they turn a blind eye or make excuses when those within their own fold break laws or misuse tax dollars? They are so quick to complain about a Romney using tax loopholes but lack outrage when Charlie Rangel gets caught cheating on his taxes and he helped write the tax codes. They don't care when the IRS gets caught wasting huge dollars on private parties. Why does the hard left wage war on the right but ignore the sins of their own?

I don't' want to fund any of it and I shouldn't have to.

Yep. Another (fact free) deflection. Completely and totally off topic.
Still no answer to the actual question ... Hey, maybe if you shout "LOOK! Over there!" we'll not notice your utter lack of shame.

The OP rails against anything from center to right but is blind by intent when the sins are from the left. How does one even give credibility to such a poster?
This Ind. Conservative leaning poster is not anti abortion, but I am anti- abuse of our social systems. An abortions isn't the most expensive procedure and in fact is cheaper than the average popular cell phone. Birth control is cheap as well and only a moron would claim that a 16 yearold in this day and age doesn't know where babies come from.
How many abortions should the tax payer fund for the same person?
At some point we should just tie the tubes and be done with idiots that can't connect the dots.
I understand that unwanted pregnancies happen. It does and not by intent, but at some point these individuals need to be held accountable. Issue the morning after pill and be done with it.
The answer to both is simple, those cost of aborting children and the cost of having children should be 100% covered by the people/person who chose to create that child. This isn't rocket science, we know where babies come from and why they come.
Ok. That still doesn't answer the question. Why are they SHUTTING DOWN abortion clinics by regulating them out of existence, mandating unnecessary transvaginal ultrasounds and other medical procedures before you can have one, and doing their best to outlaw abortion all together (like both Texas and South Dakota making it illegal after you can hear a fetal heartbeat--that can be as early as 6 weeks. You'd barely know you were pregnant.) That has nothing to do with federal OR state funding.
You want people to take personal responsibility, but you want to punish them if they make a personal choice you don't like, and you don't want to give them control to make decisions about their own bodies. If that isn't a war against women, I don't know what is.
And FYI--there's a good sized chunk of old school Republican women (not teavangelicals) who are just as upset about this crap as other women.
It's because the children are often brown or black... and the pro-life thing is just religious kookery. When they think the money helps their own, Conservatives love to splash the cash (see the Military, Wall Street, Big Business, churches, etc.).
