But here\u2019s the thing to remember, especially today, Tax day: taxpayer and state funding should go to abortion services.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking this factually-challenged introduction bodes ill for the rigor of the case to come, give yourself a gold star. Oh, Herold has plenty of statistics, but as you\u2019ll see, she skips one crucial step necessary for audiences to draw her desired conclusion from them\u2026<\/p>\n<p>She claims that the Hyde Amendment, which <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/news\/over-1-million-americans-have-been-saved-from-abortion-due-to-hyde-amendment\/\">bars Medicaid funds from directly financing abortion<\/a>, was created \u201cwith the explicit goal of denying poor people access to abortion,\u201d and has consequently made abortion \u201cinaccessible to all except the most financially privileged people.\u201d In truth, about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/secularprolife\/videos\/\">1 in 9 people born through the Medicaid program are living their lives<\/a> today <em>because of<\/em>\u00a0the Hyde Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear what Herold\u2019s referring to in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reproductiverights.org\/sites\/crr.civicactions.net\/files\/documents\/Hyde_Report_FINAL_nospreads.pdf\">58-page Center for Reproductive Rights report<\/a> she links as a source for the first claim, but the report does quote Rep. Henry Hyde (R-IL) as explicitly expressing the exact opposite: \u201cI would certainly like to prevent, if I could legally, <em>anybody<\/em> having an abortion, <em>a rich woman, a middle class woman, or<\/em> a poor woman. Unfortunately, the only vehicle available is the [Medicaid] bill\u201d (emphasis added).<\/p>\n<p>She then says that not taxing people to fund abortions is, er, \u201ca tax on people struggling to make ends meet. Our government should not be in the business of pushing healthcare further out of reach for anyone, especially people who already face so many barriers to healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first contention is pure gibberish, but I actually agree with the second one\u2014in fact, that\u2019s precisely why Herold and her ilk should stop letting Planned Parenthood hog money that could go much further in the hands of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/news\/5-reasons-americans-will-benefit-if-planned-parenthood-is-defunded\/\">real health providers that offer higher-quality, easier-to-find, and more-comprehensive care<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>She goes on to state that around \u201c75 percent of people seeking abortion services are poor or low-income,\u201d which carries increased likelihood of \u201cunemployment, separation from a partner, falling behind on rent, and being forced to move multiple times\u201d; that costs associated with traveling to get an abortion \u201ccan add up to more than one-third of a woman\u2019s monthly income\u201d; that minorities are more likely to rely on Medicaid; and that being \u201cforced\u201d to \u201ccarry unwanted pregnancies to term\u201d increases one\u2019s odds of a whole litany of personal and economic hardships (as usual, no mention that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/news\/adoption-isnt-about-giving-up-its-about-giving-life\/\">adoption<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/news\/baby-safe-havens-exist-so-every-mother-has-life-affirming-options\/\">safe havens<\/a> can prevent those hardships too, or that nobody except rape victims is ever \u201cforced\u201d into pregnancy in the first place). Secular Pro-Life had a not-so-pleasant reaction to Herold&#8217;s apparent push to make sure low-income, minority women get their abortions for free:<\/p>\n<p>But\u00a0Herold\u00a0skipped the most important step of all. From these facts, \u201ctherefore, taxpayer dollars should fund abortions\u201d only follows <em>if<\/em> one has <em>already accepted<\/em> the premise that anyone <em>should<\/em> be able to access abortions. But if that premise remains unproven, then one must prove it before we can truly know whether to subsidize abortions. And if the premise is <em>disproven<\/em>\u2014if pro-lifers are correct that abortion is the killing of innocent children and ultimately <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/news\/cnn-special-report-features-hundreds-of-women-who-regret-their-abortions\/\">harmful<\/a> to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/news\/nice-try-daily-beast-but-texas-is-not-lying-to-women-about-abortion\/\">women<\/a>\u2014then the difficulty of accessing abortion without government assistance is actually evidence for <em>upholding and expanding<\/em> the restriction, not for ending it.<\/p>\n<p>And of course, while declaring it \u201cun-American\u201d for taxes not to fund abortions, Herold says not a word about the fact that she wants to take this money from the pockets of other people, under penalty of law, with no regard whatsoever for their consciences, their own economic situations, or, y\u2019know, the fact that <em>it\u2019s their money and not hers<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it should come as no surprise that Steph Herold has so little regard for children or taxpayers, when her idolization of George Tiller, despite his nightmarish treatment of his own patients, shows that not even the women she\u2019s claiming to fight for <em>really<\/em> matter to her. In the mind of any fanatic, it\u2019s only a matter of time before abortion ceases to be a means to an end and morphs into the end itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cYes, taxpayer dollars should fund abortions.\u201d Right out of the gate, the title of Steph Herold\u2019s Monday op-ed in The Hill places her squarely in the extreme minority of American public opinion.
