No tax dollars for abortion!

In the coming days we can expect pro-abortion forces to argue that the U.S. government (i.e. "We the People") must subsidize abortions for women to truly have a "right" at all, that without tax-payer funding this so-called "right to choose" is empty.

They will call for the end of the Hyde Amendment which prevents the use of tax-payer dollars for abortion and the promotion of abortion.

Keep in mind, however, these words from the 1991 Supreme Court decision in Rust v. Sullivan:

"The Government has no constitutional duty to subsidize an activity merely because it is constitutionally protected, and may validly choose to allocate public funds for medical services relating to childbirth but not to abortion."

This is only reasonable, of course. The Bill of Rights provides a right to bear arms, but who would seriously argue that it means the Treasury of the U.S. must provide a Kimber 1911 for those who want to exercise that right.
