    Yes. I don't like paying my tax money for subsidies for the oil and gas industry and some don't like paying their money for wars, etc. You never pay taxes for abortion. Google the Hyde Amendment. But we are run by a federal government created to represent all the nation which means we don't all get an individual say in where the money goes.

    If that was the policy, then everyone would immediately decide that every single government expenditure was morally wrong, solely for the purpose of escaping taxes.

    It is SUPPOSED to be illegal for tax money to fund abortion.

    Of course, we all know better,

    Unfortunately, you can't just not follow laws because you do not agree with them. You CAN vote in new representatives who will write different laws. And write letters to your representatives to tell them why you disagree with what they are doing.

    that is the way this is supposed to work, but how many people actually DO write to their congressmen? So few that the Lobbyists are the only ones talking to them. That is NOT their fault, it is OURS!
