No.

No objective observer would ever say that either side “advocates for abortion”. That’s the sort of thing a demagogue right-winger would say to try to score cheap political points.

California forces anybody buying health insurance to pay for abortion, and pay have to pay a tax if you don't buy health insurance. If they aren't advocating for it, why are they trying to force me to pay for it?

Interesting.

Can you provide a scan of a health insurance invoice where there’s a line item for an abortion which you didn’t request or receive? It doesn’t have to be your receipt; any insurance invoice from literally anybody in California where they were charged specifically for an abortion that they didn’t request or receive?

I’ll wait.

Or is this a specious argument like the perennial classic, “I had to pay taxes which went in part toward maintaining the roads and I never drove on that particular road over there and so therefore the taxes are unfair”? Because I am very interested in your opinions if that’s the direction you’ve decided to argue, here.

In your road example, they are in fact paying for the roads, and you aren't disputing that, so maybe try finding a better analogy that doesn't undermine your argument.

Or maybe you didn’t understand my argument. All the best.
