Some argue that if U.S. taxation SHOULD NOT be allowed to fund abortion, it SHOULD NOT be allowed to Constitutionally fund the U.S. military since it kills innocent civilians...Is this a valid, rational comparison and/or argument?

Do you have the proof sources to show the SPECIFIC stipulations that would have to be met to get a partial birth abortion in the way that it has been politically supported?
The tired old "medical necessity" crap is and has been for some time used to get legislation for otherwise undesirable things.
And no- "general welfare" in the 1770's did not mean HUD housing and food stamps- it meant "Do no Harm"

Not Valid nor Not Rational. Which means it is a Liberal aberration.
Terrorists want to kill us and obama wants to stop funding our military.... why? What is his gain?
If anything they should be STATE programs, not FEDERAL. Each state has under the 10th Ameendment the right to set up these programs
It's an interesting read, especially the part about health care!
We are not China, so we should not promote and pay for abortions.
How do you think France's election for a socialist will affect America? BHO has a "brother" there now!
However, I do not see it as a valid argument or comparison whatsoever.
Sadly, a particular left-leaning liberal on this site does.
Should America boycott the IRS?
Too bad it's after April 17(2 day extension this year) - most everyone has already paid their taxes.
