More thoughts about taxpayers rights...

While I still stand by my last post about both sides (pro-choice and pro-life) needing to compromise more on the health care reform debate, it makes me question where our rights as taxpayers begin and end.  I mean, there are many anti-war people who don't want their taxes funding wars, and yet most of them don't stage huge rallies and demand a bill be passed to not allow their tax money to go to our military.  Where do you draw the line? Just because some pro-lifers don't want their tax money to go to funding health care, which could possibly cover abortions, doesn't mean that the government has to acquiesce to their desires.  I sure as hell did not want my tax money going to abstinence only sex ed for the past 8 years, but it did (and look at the growth in teen pregnancy numbers - that sure was effective).   All I am saying is that you can't let one group's moral dilemma hold up something that can bring good to a majority of the people.
