I didn't agree with my tax-payer money going to the war in Iraq. However, it still went towards that war.

YOU don't get the choice! You HAVE to pay your taxes, so that other people can CHOOSE to sit at home and not work. You HAVE to pay your taxes, so that "doctors" can get rich by going oversees and cutting babies out of pregnant women.


You don't seem to understand Social Liberalism! Pro-choice really doesn't mean pro-choice at all. It means that people get to do whatever stupid and irresponsible thing they choose, and YOU have to pay for their mistakes.
No, we don't get a choice of where our taxes go.....some of mine (and yours) went into a HUGE Multi-Billion dollar WELFARE check for FAILED CEO bonuses/vacations/parties......and NO repub/neocon/choice-hating person has EVER complained about it.......

Maybe its because they agree with welfare for them and not abortion?! Welfare checks arent killing anybody, unlike abortion money...

VATICAN CITY – Vatican officials said Saturday they were disappointed by President Barack Obama's decision to end a ban on federal funding for international groups that perform abortions or provide information on them.

Monsignor Rino Fisichella, who heads the Vatican's Pontifical Academy for Life, urged Obama to listen to all voices in America without "the arrogance of those who, being in power, believe they can decide of life and death."

Fisichella said in an interview published Saturday in Corriere della Sera that "if this is one of President Obama's first acts, I have to say, in all due respect, that we're heading quickly toward disappointment."

It sounds like Obama has pissed-off the Pope!
Yet the Vatican doesn't criticize itself when preists molest children. And the Pope's opinion matters because.....?

And abortion isn't killing anyone. Not anyone who has rights, anyways.

Colorado had a measure on the ballot in November to basically define a fertilized egg as a person. It failed miserably, thank goodness.

Funny. . . I was just working and listening to NPR, when it occured to me that the Catholic Church is (arrogant / delusional / just plain nuts) as evidenced by the fact that they believe the Pope is the supreme authority for "God" in the world, and they also beleive that god "changes his mind" about many issues, every time a new Pope is elected. Does this make any sense at all to anyone?
