Back to the article:

Quote:
Yet Obamacare's most pernicious aspect is its federal funding of abortion. Pro-lifers are now compelled to have their tax dollars used to subsidize insurance plans that allow for the murder of unborn children. This is more than state-sanctioned infanticide. It violates the conscience rights of religious citizens. Traditionalists - evangelicals, Catholics, Baptists, Muslims, Orthodox Jews - have been made complicit in an abomination that goes against their deepest religious values. As the law is implemented (as in Pennsylvania) the consequences of the abortion provisions will become increasingly apparent. The result will be a cultural civil war. Pro-lifers will become deeply alienated from society; among many, a secession of the heart is taking place.
Well, isn't this a point which one could use as an argument everytime someone has a reason of conscience to disagree with the politics of the country? Pacifists could argue they get alienated by spending money for the military, enviromentalists by spending money for highways, smokers by spending money for the ATF
So everyone who is unhappy with the distribution of taxes could start a "cultural civil war" - I just love this word creation...

I would be glad to decide what my taxes are used for, at least if I had some options, however I don't think it is feasible.

Is there any space left in Canada? I feel like moving after that, just to get away from idiots who would publish such garbage in a major newspaper...

They also fail to mention that abortion is a completely legal medical procedure in this country.

Strange women lying in ponds, distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power must be wielded by a mandate from the masses! Not some farcical aquatic ceremony!

Well you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

I mean, if I went around sayin' I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd put me away!
