Glad to hear you oppose Federal funding of this, as it's a personal responsibility.

Having an abortion is taking personal responsibility for your pregnancy.

Should childbirth not be federally funded until a federal healthcare plan? Considering that that is also taking personal responsibility for your pregnancy?

An abortion is a medical procedure just like childbirth is a medical procedure, fund one and you should fund the other.

And Doctor's recommended smoking cigarettes.

There was all kinds of crazy going on back then.

There is no way I'm putting lysol into my lady area.

So you are saying a law that automatically puts everyone's money into supporting abortions is the right thing to do even if we don't agree with the act of abortion? The whole thing here is that there is no choice for pro-lifers here when it comes to funding abortion. We aren't taking away anyone's beliefs or rights as far as abortion goes, but they are taking our money and using it for something that we think / know is morally wrong.....especially if you are a man/woman of God

I do disagree with the current war/wars we are in because they are unjust, but the money from our taxes in that situation goes to the military personnel and the defense of the nation as a "whole"...not to a specific war that we may disagree with. The abortion thing is a personal matter, and you can't make "everyone" help fund it because the fact is that most people consider the act of abortion to be immoral whether u agree or not. Abortion should be paid for only by the one who decides to do it. There should be no plan that we "all" are automatically signed up with to help someone do that to themselves, and their unborn child.

To be honest, I'd rather pay for an abortion via taxes than a lifetime of care and feeding via taxes.
