State senators in Georgia are to be commended for passing legislation that would ban coverage of abortion under taxpayer-funded health insurance plans provided to state employees.
Abortion is not "health care." It is the deliberate taking of the life of an unborn child, and that is not something that taxpayers should have to subsidize.
It is bad enough that the U.S. Supreme Court unconstitutionally imposed nationwide a so-called "right" to abortion in its horrible 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling. But the idea that abortion should not only be legal but that taxpayers should have to underwrite the grisly procedure -- to which many object -- is deeply offensive.
When exactly did it become anyone's "right" to have an elective procedure -- especially one as appalling as abortion -- funded with tax dollars?
The Georgia Senate made the right decision.
