The Hyde Amendment means they don't. So once again, you're proving to me here what you said before, how we should know better than to trust what a Conservative tells us.
You are REALLY going to make me spank your ass for lying about Tax Dollars being used for abortions AGAIN?! Dude, you are one twisted sadomasochist..and liar.
"
taxpayers subsidize roughly 24% of all abortion costs in the U.S. with 6.6% borne by federal taxpayers and the remaining 17.4% picked up by state taxpayers. If we apply the 24% figure to the total number of abortions,
this is equivalent to taxpayers paying the full cost of 250,000 abortions a year, with about 70,000 financed by federal taxpayers and 180,000 financed by state taxpayers
A first-trimester abortion costs
$397 vs. $854 for a second-trimester procedure, but the fraction of abortions financed using insurance (public or private) is nearly identical (
25% for second-term versus 22.6% for first-term). Abortions are financed in a variety of ways.
According to a Guttmacher Institute survey in 2011, 69% of abortions are paid for entirely out of pocket. Another
15.6% report using Medicaid
Everyone knows that Medicaid is taxpayer-funded"
