Opposing the mandates because they violate the religious liberty of a few, instead of the property rights of all, means implicitly accepting the legitimacy of government mandates as long as special exemptions are granted for certain groups of people from certain groups of mandates.
President Trump has already protected pro-life taxpayers (and unborn children) by reinstating President Reagan’s Mexico City policy. The Mexico City policy forbids US taxpayer money from being used to support any international organization that performs abortions or promotes abortions. Using taxpayer money to perform and promote abortions overseas is not only unconstitutional and immoral, it also increases resentment of the US government. Unfortunately, as shown by the recent Yemen drone strikes, President Trump is unlikely to substantially change our militaristic foreign policy, which is responsible for the deaths of many innocent men, women, and children.
Ending taxpayer support for abortion is an important step toward restoring limited, constitutional government that respects the rights of all. However, those who oppose abortion must recognize that the pro-life cause’s path to victory will not come through politics. Instead, pro-lifers must focus on building a culture of life through continued education and, among other things, support for crisis pregnancy centers. These centers, along with scientific advances like ultrasound, are doing more to end abortion than any politician. Anti-abortion activists must also embrace a consistent ethic of life by opposing foreign policy militarism and the death penalty.
Since it is claimed abortion is a Constitutional right that cannot be interfered with and therefore needs taxpayer financing to guarantee a woman’s access to it if she can’t afford it – Could we force taxpayer financing to provide firearms and ammo to those who can’t afford them it since it a Constitutional right, and a more specifically declared right than is abortion (which is not a stated right, it is a created one by interpretation of others)?
Call your Congressman and let’s see if we can get some action on this, I’d like to feel equal instead of second class for a change.
I know people don’t like hearing this, but paying for an abortion is FAR cheaper than paying for 18 years of welfare and the incarceration following that. Another million fatherless welfare babies is not going to MAGA.
Solving the welfare deadbeat problem by killing the children is different than solving that problem by rounding them up and killing them in death camps how?
Making women afraid to get pregnant just because they are horny because they can’t afford it and thus desiring to avoid letting any low IQ jackass stick his dick in her again is part of Making America Great Again.
I was just going to say… They can stop paying for abortions the minute I can stop paying for all the fundie/ignoramus rug rats’ disposable diapers, HFCS dranks, and “skooling”.
Well said anon.
