"Why, for example, should we pay for medical treatment for people who smoke and get lung cancer?" They pay more for health insurance and life insurance as a smoker for their lifestyle choice.

 "Why should I pay school taxes when I don't have kids?"
For the greater good of society.  My kid goes to a private school but I still pay taxes for the public schools.

 "Why should I pay for roads that I'll never drive on?"  You never know when you will need that road...lol.

"And frankly if you want to continue this then anyone who opts out of paying for abortions should have that same money and more automatically directed at foster homes, adoption agencies, child support payments for low income mothers, and birth control education."  NOW you're talking!!!  Consider it DONE!  Birth control as a form of prevention is a solution and should be free.  But abortions no. I am a child advocate & champion, no problem w my tax $ going there.
