Michael Bowman, a pro-life Christian from Oregon, won an unprecedented case against the IRS last year.
Bowman, who is adamantly anti-abortion, refused to file tax returns or pay income taxes for over [20] years because taxes fund abortions. He states that the sole reason he has not complied with federal and state laws is that the murder of unborn babies is wrong.
Bowman is self-employed as a computer software developer and owes approximately $800,000 in back taxes to the IRS.
Oregon is one of 16 states in the U.S. that forces residents to pay taxes for “elective abortions.”
Reports show that overall U.S. citizens pay approximately half a billion dollars in taxes to Planned Parenthood, the country’s biggest abortion chain.
Bowman is not alone in his opposition to tax dollars funding abortions. A poll conducted by Marist University reflects that only 39 [percent] of Americans support it, while the majority of taxpayers do not.
