I guess you don't read so good. The complaint is about the federal government paying for abortion, not making abortion illegal. If the woman wants an abortion she is perfectly free to have one on her own dime, not mine.
Interesting how you think that the first amendment trumps the second amendment. I guess you really do have problems with reading comprehension. I don't see how you think religious folk are the problem. What I see is the non-religious, which I have to assume you are, trying to tell me I cannot have a cross to adorn the memorial that has been in place for over 75 years or that the town can put up a menorah for Hanukkah but not a creche for Christmas. You are telling my kids that they cannot get together and pray over their school lunch in the cafeteria. You let gay and lesbian groups meet in the schools but not the Christian groups. We cannot allow Jews to have meetings in college campuses but you set up a special chapel in the Student Union for Muslim students. You think it is fine and dandy to set fire to the flag of the country that represents and protects you but you canot print a cartoon about Muslims. I think from what you wrote that you have a very perverted sense of entitlement and if anyone questions you on it you respond that they are religious nuts or right wing idiots. Meanwhile you do all you can to take away the rights of those who want to keep their HSA's or live their lives doing what they always have, hunting, fishing, etc. That you consider a no-no. Very warped indeed.
