Abortion should not be funded through tax payer money

Thanks! 1. It's important to note that the number of abortions in America increased dramatically after the legalization of it in 1973. Before 1973 America had 210,000 abortions a year. By the late 1970s there were over 1 million abortions a year. Today there are 1.6 million abortions a year. I am pro life but the view that abortion should not be tax payer or state funded is a view held by pro choice people as well. For example most libertarians are pro choice but they oppose state funded abortions because forcing someone to pay for what they consider murderer is unfair. 2. My religion doesn't have anything to do with my beliefs on abortion. If I were an atheist I would still be pro life. The group secular pro life is made up of people from all religions who are united in their pro life values. I joined that group because it was the only pro life group I could find that didn't involve Christianity. Most women who get abortions are not going to be religious Christians so pushing Jesus in their faces won't help them. What will help them is better sex ed so there are less unwanted pregnancies. I also believe that if women were aware of what abortion doe to the fetus they wouldn't kill the fetus. If they understood what it was by looking at the ultra sound and having the doctor read a list of what will happen to the baby they would make the decision to keep the child. 2 I'm not conservative. I don't agree with a lot of their positions such as their anti gay rights stance and want for war. 3. If abortion is truly a personal choice that doesn't concern me I shouldn't pay for it. The woman can pay for it her self and plenty of pro choice people will be happy to donate to her if she can't. 4. The rights I'm talking about are those of pro life protestors. Many abortion clinics have buffer zones. I understand the need for them because some pro lifers are very aggressive. But if I am paying for your abortion the least you can do is hear me out. If you don't want to deal with me you Shouldn't be taking my money. If planned parenthood doesn't want to deal with me protesting outside their clinics they shouldn't be taking my money. The day they stop taking half a billion dollars a year from American tax payers is the day they can create buffer zones. 5. If the woman uses her own money for the abortion than that's one thing. If I am paying for it with my tax money than I should be able to say what I want. How would you feel if you were forced to pay for the murderers of children (with the Iraq war we all were forced to pay for that). Imagine someone is forcing you to pay for something you strongly disagree with and on top of that they won't even hear you out. It's my money that welfare queens and planned parenthood stole. I can decide what to do with my money. As long as I'm paying for your abortion ( a long with other things like welfare) I can make you feel how I want. If it's ok to steal my money and use it on things I disagree with I can make you feel guilty. If making you feel guilty is the only way to save a baby than I will do that. An entire life is worth an hour of guilt. Woman who get abortions aren't bad people (with some exceptions) they just made bad choices. If you can't look at pictures of the act don't do the act. Own up to what your doing. Don't hide from it. Many women who get abortions become pro life. Thanks and happy Thanksgiving!.
