via 3 Reasons Why It’s Nearly Impossible to Defund Planned Parenthood – The Gospel Coalition.

A troubling thought. $500 million of tax payer monies are given to fund Planned Parenthood. While technically it is illegal to use federal funds for abortion, money is fungible. The money planned parenthood gets from the government frees up other monies to fund abortions. At best this is indirect taxpayer funding of abortion.

Imagine I ask you for $10,000 to purchase a car. If you knew that giving me that money would mean I could spend my own $10,000 on, say, drugs, would you do it? Would it soothe your conscience to know you’d given me money for a car, not drugs? I think it wouldn’t. In fact, I think you’d likely tell me to buy the care with my drug money.

As a Christian tax funding of Planned Parenthood greatly troubles me. I cannot tell the fed to stop using my tax money to fund Planned Parenthood. I also cannot (legally) stop paying my taxes. But it makes me wonder, is it time for Christians to practice civil disobedience and declare they will not pay their taxes until the government stops funding Planned Parenthood? I’m not sure, but we seem to be getting there.
