And.. just because I voted for the person in office, does not give him or her the right to force me to pay for something that goes against my religious beliefs.
If a poor girl doesnt want to be pregnant, she oughta learn some restraint, rather than expect everyone else to pay for her own problems.
lol...you do live in a democracy. Thats what all the voting stuff is. Republic in your case just means you don't have a hereditary monarchy.
Yes, when you vote for someone to represent you that is exactly the right you give them. Thats what the 'representative' part of democracy is about.
So we come back to your opinion that sex is a sin.
Oh for goodness sakes, pick up some literature, and quit bickering. Here- from the CIA-
Constitution-based federal republic; strong democratic tradition

| This really doesnt even belong here, much like several other active topics we have going, but really- if I dont believe in paying for abortions, based on my religion, then nobody, NOBODY has the right to infringe on my religious right. If the government wanted, they could easily encourage corporations and private citizens to donate to a charity for abortions, but not by taking our tax money. Sorry to bust your bubble. |

| Once again let religion rest a little. I am talking about universe of obligation not any holier than thou attitude. The other topics frame this as a religious issue. I am framing it as a I don't care enough about that girl to pay for her abortion. Comprende? |
