Explain to me how public funded abortions are any worse than... |
|
...public funded wars? Especially elective wars like the Iraq war?
I understand the sentiment behind being against public funded abortions - people who are opposed don't want their money going to it. I can respect that point of view, but what I don't understand is why that line of logic isn't extended to other things?
What happens if you're a pacifist? You're still a tax payer. You're funding war. It's against your morality. Why isn't that considered?
After all, what's worse morally? Aborting a fetus, or blowing up a pregnant woman; killing both her AND the fetus along with her other living children?
It would seem to me that either we're going to have to move to a voluntary tax system, where we only pay taxes on things we morally agree with, or we're just going to have to suck it up and pay taxes on things we hate. There is no reason abortion should be treated any different.

2. Because the fetuses aren't Muslim, and don't deserve to die? |
|
That's about all I can figure. Can't really ask for a lot of logic from the right.

3. The MIC doesn't get rich from abortions? |
|
If Wal-Mart was making profits from abortion, there would be a constitutional amendment permanently guaranteeing our right to choose by now.

Their demands are usually ignored.
