I agree. If abortion is another woman's choice, that's fine except I don't want my hard earned tax $'s to fund someone else's bad decision.

When things become about money...which is always. That money of yours and mine will get spent on daycare and other services for that child, but that may be preferable even though it will be more money, in the end. So we end all gov support for low income, I would support that, I guess. But your logic about saving your money does not quite pan out as I see it.

If your choice is to kill another human, sorry, don't agree it's not appropriate "to push that on others"...murder is not an choice in any society. Claiming it's not murder until birth is to ignore the obvious...no abortion will result in a human baby.

I didn't say anything about "saving" money. In fact, if you read my earlier comment, I donate quite a bit of money to organizations that financially assist women in need. For me, and I suspect many others, this doesn't have anything to do with money. I'm all for helping women & children but I don't want my money to pay for murdering children. Why is that hard for you to understand? Stop using "low income" as a crutch. People don't need money to be morally responsible.

I get that. For me, I don't want my money to pay for murdering anyone! Life is sacred. Yet our wars continue on and on...

That makes sense, sorry if I missed that. I was just trying to acknowledge that income disparities are important to consider; some have fewer options as others esp wrt this topic of abortion. As for morally responsible, what someone else chooses I think they have a right to choose without moral condemnation. I can have hopes/prayers they will do one or the other thing, but can't speak to judging them morally one way or another as having made a bad choice.

Judging is God's job, not mine. He instructs us to love one another but He also wants us to call out evil.

God’s Word says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart” (Jer. 1:5). Psalm 139:16 says, “Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.”

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are commanded to call out sin. This isn't "judging". Tearing apart a baby in the womb is murder, which is a sin, plain and simple.
