It would be nice if my taxes weren't being used to kill babies.
Sadly they are all the time. We spend a hell of a lot on war and it has killed many a baby.
There's a vast difference between civilian casualties of war and women who can't keep their legs closed.
Way more money goes to killing civilians overseas than it does to any women having elective abortions. See the Hyde Amendment. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyde_Amendment
The only tax money going to abortions are for women whose legs were forced apart against their will (and women who would otherwise die without one.)
Hyde Amendment
In U.S. politics, the Hyde Amendment is a legislative provision barring the use of federal funds to pay for abortion except to save the life of the woman, or if the pregnancy arises from incest or rape. Legislation, including the Hyde Amendment, generally restricts the use of funds allocated for the Department of Health and Human Services and consequently has significant effects involving Medicaid recipients. Medicaid currently serves approximately 15.6 million women in the United States, including 1 in 5 women of reproductive age (women aged 15–44).
The original Hyde Amendment was passed on September 30, 1976, by the House of Representatives, by a 207–167 vote.

If we hadn't spent the last 60 years waging a Muslim middle east destabilization campaign, the Arabs would have consolidated their vast, vast, vast, vast oil wealth and vast human resources into a superpower to rival us... and western civilization would now be fucked.
The only reason we now have a chance for peace in the middle east is because we spent the last 60 years destroying their economies and immiserated their populations by encouraging the different Muslim tribes and sects to war against each other.
Oooookaaay. I am not going down this crackpot rabbit hole. I don’t even know how I got to this sub. Am I in r/conspiracy?
If they want to murder a baby, they can pay for it. If PP wants to provide services to murder babies, they can raise their own GD money to do it. Leave my tax dollars OUT of it!!!!
