This isn't about defining abortion as murder. This is about forcing a person who believes that abortion is morally wrong (legal or not) to support abortion through taxes.

My argument isn't about the religious right imposing their faith-based beliefs on pro-choice people (other than as a foil for the discussion), it is about the pro-choice people imposing their beliefs on them. I am talking very specifically about government supported abortions. The government is funded by you and me and those pro-lifers and pro-choicers. This means that the pro-lifer's money is being used on something that they find abhorrent.

Why is it ok for the pro-choicers to impose their views pro-lifers (through forced support via taxes) and not ok for the pro-lifers to impose their views on pro-choicers?

I have made it clear that I am passionately pro-choice. But it goes both ways, you can't just apply the principles when it supports your views. The pro-lifers have made the CHOICE to not support abortion. Why would you violate that?
