And who gives a rats rear end? I don't, why don't you Christians practice the bible verse stop paying attention to the straw in your brothers eye and pay attention to the rafter in your own eye. LOL

Why should pro-lifers be coddled? What makes their sensibilities more important than mine or anyone elses?
I don't like paying for wars and think we have a bloated military budget. I don't like seeing my tax dollars going to fund pet projects from Lobbyists.

I brought it up to make a note of it - but I know how race dominates around here. And I started the thread - didn't want it to be a major issue. So I am exercising self-control in not getting started in that direction.
Nobody is killed during an abortion either.

So your statement is not 100% accurate anymore.
For some people YES, their tax dollars are paying for abortions.
True. I specified federal funds in my post, but some states have now decided to cover abortions. I do not know what qualifiers people need to get a state-funded abortion.

I found this a good link with lots of info on the 15 states.
Some eye opener requirements or lack of requirements there like you do not need to provide proof of citizenship.

Don't worry - that's the goal. This whole healthcare configuration now is set up to fail and funnel everyone into a single payer system.

Beware what you ask for - single payer is single control for whomever is paying, and the "whomever" is government.
