Then maybe some of you should start your own organisation and compete instead of trying to shut down funding to the service that does exist.

> What? As soon as you compare abortion with “murder”, you accept an artificially fabricated premise as fact and now you’re firmly in the anti-abortion camp. That no such equivalence exists is the whole crux of the argument.

What exactly is the difference between abortion and murder? Is it murder at 20 weeks? 30 weeks? 40? post-birth? Why does breathing air suddenly make a fetus into a person?  
There are many, like Barack Obama in the Illinois legislature and segments of planed parenthood, who would say that the survivor of a botched abortion should still legally be killable.

I do support such organizations. I don’t support my money being stolen from me to pay for abortion clinics.

Maybe you need to stop having your wallet stolen. That’s the only way anybody’s taking your money “to pay for abortion clinics.” :dubious:
