Why or why not? Furthermore, where do you draw the line on what your tax dollars are used for in terms of public good v. religious/ethical beliefs?

No. People should not fund activities that are morally repugnant to them and not for purposes of National security.

The government was not established to redistribute income for purposes of killing unborn babies. Funding used for assistance, education, medical assistance and housing for the pregnant woman and the baby is morally consistent, therefore, the use of tax dollars in support of life would be hard to argue against...for me at least.

I'd rather pay the $300-$800 now than pay for 18 years to support a child that the person on assistance can't pay for.

Gosh yes, it saves us a ton of money long term, and helps the person be a productive member of society, having children later in life.

Some of us don't put a price tag on life. There is no way I'm down with funding someone's murder of a child.

You down with funding school bonds and lunch programs? Because this country is full of kids in sub-standard schools who go to bed hungry. And I'm really tired of knowing how many 'pro-life' people refuse to vote for better school lunch programs and libraries.

If I get to be the abortion tsar, yes.

I want to run the Federal Bureau of Abortions and use federal funds to do abortions just like my hero, eugenicist Margaret Sanger intended; to abort all babies of the feeble minded, underclass, underaged and other undesirables. That would include everyone on government assistance and anyone under legal age. Like my hero eugenicist Margaret Sanger, I will open our first FBA office in Harlem and then branches in Detroit, South LA, Jackson MS, Miami Gardens FL, Birmingham AL and so on until we complete the task at hand and make the world a better place.

Sure, if a woman feels she isn't ready for a child, why should society be burdened with funding social programs for an unwanted child? An abortion makes much more sense.

Oh they're all for the child living in poverty with a poor diet, and poorly educated. But no way do they want to allow abortions. By golly.

Come on folks, its not like we are waiting til the child is fully formed, and deciding to vote for a Democrat before putting a round in them. Murder begins at sentience. Otherwise as a teenager I was a mass murderer.
