The past week has put on full display one of the big lies told by Democrats, Planned Parenthood and others who are defenders of abortion. They call themselves “pro-choice” and say they simply want the government to keep out of women’s healthcare.

While about half the country believes abortion should be legal in many cases, a huge majority of Americans agree that tax dollars shouldn’t fund abortions. The underlying principle here is that abortion is an issue in which the moral faculties, and perhaps religious faith, are intensely engaged, and that no citizen should be forced to fund someone else’s decision to kill her gestating baby.
