On one hand, the abortion lobby says that abortion is a private decision in which the government has no right to be involved.  Then, they demand that the government pay for abortions and force even pro-life taxpayers to buy abortions for other people.  They defend this obvious hypocrisy by pointing out that government often requires taxpayers to pay for things with which they disagree.  For example, people opposed to war have to pay taxes which fund the military. 

However, the abortion lobby’s position is that government has no right to even be involved in the abortion issue.  So why should government pay for something which the recipients of those funds say is none of the government’s business?  After all, if we concluded that national defense was none of the government’s business, we would not use tax money to buy jet fighters.

Also, just because someone has a right to do something doesn’t mean the government has to pay for it.  Americans have the right to own guns, but the government doesn’t provide free pistols to poor people.  We have a right to free speech, but the government doesn’t buy public address systems for poor people.  We are also guaranteed freedom of religion, but the government has no obligation to purchase Bibles for poor churches.
