Kick their Fundie A$$e$ to the Curb!
If I see you beating your child in a supermarket and make you stop, that means I must now raise your child for you? I think not.
This isn't a good analogy. If you, personally, prevent someone from beating a child, that is not a mandate from the state. The state has no responsibility. However, were it a mandate from the state, the parent could be brought before a judge in family court and their parental rights terminated. At which point the child may become a ward of the state, with tax payer dollars going to the child's care.
So, yes, it's entirely logical to expect tax dollars to go to the care of indigent children, in the case where all or most abortions are illegal.
The time has come for the fiscal conservatives to recognize the Religous Right for what it is: a liability to the Republican Party. Kick their fundie a$$e$ to the curb!
