So, USAID cannot legally "support abortion activities". I don't think allowing factual data to be searched is "legally supporting" abortion. It is simply allowing people to search data.
Technically speaking, the United States Government cannot legally pass a law respecting the establishment of religion. Anti abortion sentiment is always related to an absurd belief that human life is somehow 'sacred', which is a religious belief. The fact that congress has passed a law restricting the "support" (finance) of abortions means they have broken their word when they swore to uphold the constitution.
People who disagree would say, "I don't want my tax dollars funding the killing of innocent children". Yet, most of these same people accept the loss of Iraqi children's lives as an unavoidable part of war. That sounds duplicitous at best, extremely racist at worst. They ignore their own bible where it says, "thou shalt not kill".
My moral values say that killing any animal (even humans) is wrong unless your own life (or the life of your family) is in jeopardy. Iraq was not a threat, and everyone knew it. Yet, neocons decided to "rally around" their insane president.
If the neocons can pass an unconstitutional law banning the funding of abortion because of a moral objection, I believe we should pass laws based on more anti-war morals.
Let us stop the war, bring our troops home, pay war reparations to Iraq, impeach the president and arrest him, and institute sweeping reforms to ensure such a miscarriage of justice can never again happen. Now that the president is in custody, let us give him an extraordinary rendition to a secret location outside of U.S. authority, and let them do what they wish. Of course, he would not actually be charged with a crime in the U.S.
Why? Because "I don't want my tax dollars funding the killing of innocent children".
