I am very much against tax dollars being used to pay for someone else to once again avoid responsibility for their actions. Or put another way, I don't want my money to go to someone who is going to commit murder.
Trump cuts federal funding for Planned Parenthood

There are a ton of Americans who are solidly against abortion, and they shouldn't be forced to pay for it.
I'd be glad to pay for it if on the second round the mother and father go with the fetus.

PP should be privately funded. They can take up donations. Hold a bake sale. A car wash. The fed should only kick in for things that benefit all of us. Everything else should be up to the states or privately funded.
So no school funding since some people don't have kids?
No funding for roads since some people use the subway?
No funding for the FAA since some people don't fly?
How about national parks?
Sounds great.

Look around at your next family dinner, 4 in 10 have had at least one abortion... Your only fooling yourself.
That's not the point. The point is: who pays for it?

I'd say to most who are against are actually against the fact that abortion exists.
That's fine, they're entitled to their beliefs. I just don't want to pay ghouls to part out human fetuses and fully formed babies. And honestly, the loudest abortion proponents are so obnoxious and provocative that I reflexively am against them.

Who pays for many things that to most are poor choices being made by the taxpayer?
Food cards, wic, snap and so on
Drug overdoses
People with no healthcare
Illegals
Poor eating habits and the end results with decades of that ending up with obesity, heart disease and diabetes
Alcoholism
Mental health
The millions beating the system
Abortion isn't sh!t compared to a few of those, we dont tell other folks on what health choices to make.
Taxpayers subsidize roughly 24% of all abortion costs in the US with 6.6% borne by federal taxpayers and the remaining 17.4% picked up by state taxpayers.
Most people don't want to pay for that sht either.
I don't mind paying for birth control for low income people. I honestly don't mind paying for abortions, except PP goes way beyond that into the dystopian Mengele nightmare crap. That's the stuff I don't want to pay for and they should have been defunded the second they started selling aborted fetuses. Also they turn around and donate to Democrat politicians and I absolutely don't want to pay for that.
That's the problem with the Left: they don't know how to take "yes" for an answer. Americans finally said "yes" to abortion, but that wasn't good enough. They had to keep pushing the envelope because they like to piss people off and flex for control.
That's all this trans/pronoun crap is - flexing and trying to piss people off. Being offensive just for the sake of it is always a nonstarter with me.
The former wanted their child. The latter did not, or they wouldn't seek abortion.
True. I was just spitballing.
Oddly enough, I was supposed to be a twin. Medicine in the 60's isn't what it is now. Twins run in both sides of my parents families.
The thought of two of you.... :shivers:
My cousin was also supposed to be a twin. Kinda messed her up mentally.
Yeah I don't like the murder of unborn children, that genie ain't going back in the bottle, we live in a fallen world,
DON'T ROB ME AT GUN POINT, to pay for someone elses sins
I know right!?!
Seriously though, if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have my BFF sister.

I believe they have to not think of it as a baby. I'm sure some do though and just chose abortion because they didn't know what else to do.
