109. It's still apples and oranges.
I was talking about interference from religiously backed, right wing male legislators in a woman's decision to end a pregnancy as contrary to you wondering about who is going to pay for that freedom from interference. If you think men shouldn't pay taxes for this then I have to guess your problem is paying for poor women on welfare to have an abortion. Most women do pay for their own.

In that case, do feel free to have your tax dollars raise that child for eighteen years instead. And, if you don't like to pay taxes then you'd better join the billionaire's club. I really do see your problem with not getting some benefit back from your tax money like affordable health care. I feel the same way.

But you seem to be saying that you back the legislation, or you want a vote in it, to end a woman's reproductive rights because you don't want to pay for it with your tax money. Maybe your right, Maybe those taxes that pay for reproductive procedures on women should be collected only from women, then men really wouldn't have a gripe, nor should they have a say.
