Why do abortion opponents think they’re entitled to a special exemption in this regard? I morally object to drone strikes, aid to Israel, mass surveillance, drug prohibition, and numerous other government expenditures, yet my tax dollars fund these things
Which is to say: almost everyone ends up “paying for” government expenditures that they “disagree” with. Why do opponents of abortion deserve special privileges to not fund abortion-related programs? If you want abortion outlawed, use the legislative/legal process
I know there are principled tax resisters who risk criminal penalties out of a sense of moral duty. But I don’t think most abortion opponents fall into that category. Rather, they demand a special exemption be carved out to suit their own particular moral objections
