The 20 weeks thing is neither here nor there. What it affects is in these onerous requirements shutting down clinics that a lot of women use for a broad array of health services.

It so often seems like prenatal life is the only life the pro-lifers give a damn about, given their opposition to funding for any health services for the living.

Is it right for us to be taxed to pay for others' health services?  I would say it is not. 

I wouldn't even be opposed to states running these so-called health clinics.  Although we know that they are by and large abortion clinics.  I just don't think the federal government has any business getting involved and taking care of people in this way.

If we as a society decide that we want state-run health clinics, then so be it (even though I personally don't see why I should be taxed to pay for it if I or my family doesn't use it), but it should be done on a state level, not on a federal level.  Let the states deal with their health services as they choose, and let the pro-life states limit abortion services, and the free-wheeling liberal states have as many abortions as they want. 

Living in a country with a collective health system i really can't understand how people can look at it this way. Without a collective system you get a situation were people with more money can afford basic health and people with little or none can't. Also more expensive medical conditions can happen to anyone, but for a lot of people this healthcare is unaffordable on their own.

That is the way it has always been.  There are always people with money and people without money.  You cannot take care of everyone, nor can you ever legislate poor people into prosperity by legislating the working class into poverty.  The most humane (yet still imperfect) system is to have an economy where the most amount of people as possible can keep as much of their money as possible, and be allowed to be successful.  Then you have more prosperity, and thus more people with more money to give to those less fortunate.  Increasing taxes in order to pay for ever-increasing medical costs is simply going to bankrupt everyone, and instead of some people going without, we'll simply all be left with nothing.
