No it is not, keep trying to spin it any way you want, you are still wrong. I could say the government gave me a check to buy a car and then I bought a fridge with my own money, that still doesn't mean the government bought me a fridge.

You are just digging yourself a hole on this topic.

When you get that tax break, other taxpayers have to pay more to make up for what you didn't pay, so, indirectly, the taxpayers helped buy the refrigerator by freeing up your money.

If pro-lifers want to use this convoluted reasoning to defund PP, then the same reasoning should be used to take away the tax exempt status of churches and religious institutions, since they do not fall under the greater good like schools, welfare, etc. No one needs a fancy, ornate building to practice their faith. After all, God is everywhere so you can worship at home.

No one knows everything about everything.

It's actually ok.

No one does and no one ever will.
Well now you can say you know more about abortions thank to me.

Responsibility and Accountability is lost within liberals. Suck it up, laughable...Child..
Having an abortion if my birth control fails IS taking responsibility. Suck that up..... Child, my business, not yours.

Done with this discussion.
Why can't one pay for birth control pills or condoms on their own? If the claim is that one can't afford them then why isn't abstinence an option? Besides, this discussion is about abortion being used as a form of birth control of which I am opposed to.

I hope so, people have been saying Texas will secede for so long now that I stopped believing it will ever happen. So my question to you is what do you mean by very soon? Within the year? Within 5 years? In a decade or two? Within our lifetime?

women sometimes get pregnant on birth control. no one is perfect, people forget to take their blood pressure medication at times. should married people abstain if the woman forgot her bc two days in a row or doubled up to make up for it?

abortion is legal why a woman has one is not anyone's business but hers. if she wants to use it as BC that's her choice.
