That statement is a strawman and is not worth the dignity of a response 😒

There are many examples of fire departments billing insurance companies and non-residents for services rendered. As a former fire-fighter, I know of this first hand.

Public safety is established by state and local municipalities to serve all people within it's service area. It does not distinguish based on race, gender, financial status, or behavior. All residents within that area contribute to a service that everyone needs at some point, and few decline.

Abortion serves a select few and the and contraceptives are easily attainable. Aside from public health clinics, no need for me to financially contribute to your sexual activities.



I act no such way. Condoms. Cheap and easily accessible. If your man refuses to wear one, say no, or engage in acts that will not impregnate you. Otherwise, I am certain that men also benefit from the convenience of having taxpayers fund the termination of unwanted lives needlessly created when contraceptives are so easily accessible.




I though I was clear that I have no issue with health insurance providing contraceptives.



No true. http://www.gao.gov/assets/670/665800.pdf

Additionally, taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood facilitates abortions, as it is essentially an abortion chain.



The fastest way to become a third-world country is to punish the responsible while incentivising irresponsibility with unaccountability. Doing so for the last 40 years has destroyed the black family, it is destroying the middle-class and created a financial crisis where 50 million Americans collect some form of government assistance each month. And that number continues to grow no matter which party is in charge.

If safety forces are paid for exclusively by those who use them, why am I taxed for them? Guess they pay for some of their expenses with my taxes, just like PP.


Safety services are not always used by everyone. The majority of people never call the fire department or search and rescue, yet we pay for them.


Again, tax payers do not pay for abortions, the woman pays a fee that includes the overhead it takes to maintain the building, along with the service she uses.


There is a law about that and accountants make sure it is followed whether you like to acknowledge it or not. So, your argument it moot.


If this country rids itself of social safety nets, we will become a third world country.....but hey, it sure would be a good way cull the heard, wouldn't it?
