Your claim does not put my mind at ease. Their budget is $1.3 billion. Of that $528 million is federal taxpayer money. Mathematically, if 49% of their business is abortions, it is hard to prove that none of the money to support that function comes from the taxpayer funding!

The point is, the girls are not paying for it themselves, as you claimed!

I haven't given it much thought. However, I feel the people who can't afford children should abstain from having them.

One controversial suggestion is that if you have to have government pay for your baby, you should be required to be sterilized! Private organizations can donate their money and services if they think you should make like a rabbit! But self-responsibility should be a major requirement when it is the result of an optional behavior!

Do you have evidence of a poll tax being charged since that became law?

And that state's law says "If you have questions, need more information or have difficulty getting a free Voter Identification Card, you can contact your county registrar’s office or the Secretary of State’s Elections Division" (Emphasis added). It costs you nothing to get a required ID!

What are you seeing that isn't there?

You are the one who made public transportation part of this voting discussion.

Then what is your complaint? You do not need driving credentials to have an ID. You can get necessary ID for free. So there is NO VIOLATION of your voting rights nor the 24th Amendment by ID being required to vote!
