Hypocrisy

A local politician criticized the catholic church for opposing health care reform because of the issue of abortion. Some loudmouths have been proclaiming that they don't want their tax money spent on abortions (even though that is already prohibited).

As life-affirming catholics, why aren't they protesting that they don't want their tax dollars spent on warfare? I certainly don't want my money spent killing civilians. And since more people are killed in war than in medical procedures, and since unwanted children are often born into dire circumstances bad for child and mother, I would much rather have free, no-questions-asked for anyone abortions, than a decade-long war for nebulous reasons.

If I were cynical, I'd suggest that it is because the church feels it is okay to kill muslims.
