Dobbs Decision

Very interesting responses. The question has nothing to do with taxpayer funding, but rather government restrictions. The comment that abortion is illegal on a federal level is blatantly false. The Dobbs decision allowed states to set their own laws and caused many women to flee their own states to escape the authorities. Many medical providers fled the states with the abortion bans. The anti-abortionists assume their morals are superior to their opponents and want the government to ban a common medical procedure they consider murder. Making blatantly false statements such as 'No women have died because they couldn't get abortions' (Kristan Hawkins of Students For Life) and fabricating statistics about how many women are pregnant as the result of rape (Missyann on Similar Worlds) leads one to doubt their credibility. Unreported rape is common and tragic and is not included in these presumed statistics. President Jimmy Carter was opposed to taxpayer funded abortions out of regard for people who are morally opposed to the procedure, but thought women should have a choice. Women are capable of making their own moral decisions without the threat of imprisonment.
