Earlier this month, Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) filed H.R. 4169, the "Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund Act." The bill would allow taxpayers "who are conscientiously opposed to participation in war" to send their tax dollars to a separate fund that would spend the revenue on non-military purposes. Yet the same Democrat also opposes the Hyde Amendment, which prevents taxpayers from being forced to fund abortion.In other words, he wants religious freedom for taxpayers if they disagree with funding the U.S. military, but not if they disagree with funding the killing of an unborn baby in the womb. How does that compute? H.R. 4169

The fact that black democrats are so blinded mentally and cannot see the genocide going on in their own community breaks my heart. It also guarantees I have no respect for them as human beings as well. To so wholeheartedly support and defend the destruction of your own people is just beyond comprehension for most decent people.

Margaret Sanger wanted to eliminate the black race in America as "undesirables" that's why most Planned Parenthood clinics are located in--or near--minority neighborhoods.
More black children are aborted than go to school...how can anyone say 'black lives matter' when so many are killed in the womb?

Could have unintended consequences. I conscientiously object to funding illegal aliens, welfare cheats, urban 'relief agencies', Congressional salaries, and most government bureaucracies. When can I opt out?

And why would one expect anything else. As usual, a Democrat id advocating trashing the Constitution. The Constitution gies the Federal goobernment very few responsiblities but one is the national defense. Leave it to a Democrat to say the Federal goobernment should ignore its responsiblites but in true fascist form demand citizens to pay hommage to something irrelevant to the Constitution.

The primary obligation of Government is to uphold the Constitution and the Laws, the protection of the Nation, defense, the borders and to provide for conditions for the free flow of commerce. This is how you get "general welfare" (not the "welfare state" as ignorant lefties think).

Defense is an actual constitutionally enumerated power of the federal government. Providing taxpayer funded abortions is not.

Oh sure, don't fund the military which protects this country but do fund the murder of babies. That way demonrats can import even more illegals to replace all those murdered babies so those very same illegals will vote for demonrats for life.

I want to be able to opt out of funding a lot of things. Do you want to give Trump the line item veto, Mr. Lewis? Opting out should apply to all of us.
