This is the logical fallacy of amphiboly, where you redefine how
the term "choice" is used in the two separate issues. In one,
it is a question of bodily auotonomy; in the other, a question
of tax subsidies. Thus, the two issues are unrelated, but
you attempt to set them up equally by playing on the word
"choice."

We do have such clinics. They are called "churches," and anyone
interested in Christianity can attend one.
Have you forgotten about the First Amendment, that Congress shall
uphold NO religion? That means no funding for religious indoctrination
in tax-supported schools. But neither can it interfere with any
religion, which is why you may worship in any Church you wish.
*** OR NOT WORSHIP ***
There is no such thing as "separation of State and Value." The
issue is "Church," not "Value." Or are you claiming that evolution
is a religion? Can you show that evolution is a religion rather
than a science? Can you define the difference between religion
and science?
