Is that the argument that the Pro abortionists make? If they feel that I have no right to tell a woman what to do with her body why do they then not agree with me that they have no right to tell me to pay for her abortion? Why am I not given the same right to do with my tax dollars as I see fit?
The argument that the government doesn't fund abortion, only other aspects of Planned parenthood is a phony argument.
When I commute to my school I pass directly by a casino. This is a recent development in NYC. Now suppose the government subsidized the hotel and restaurant of the casino, providing low cost housing and food to the poor and they used the same argument -- we aren't paying for the casino, only the food and housing. That is a phony argument. It is easy for me to drive by the casino and not gamble. But, if I were living in the casino and eating in the casino the opportunity to at least try a little gambling, especially when I got bored would be much greater. I would be bombarded with advertising for it every day as I come in and out of the hotel and restaurant. What the government has done is to bring the abortion clinic, the doctors, the nurses, the advertising right to my doorstep. How? With my tax dollars. Now if I complain, if I protest they go ballistic, nasty, insulting, accusing teenagers of many lies, etc.
