Stupid things religious people say

Absolutely; pre-natal care is an act that is going to require the government to take by force resources from one group of citizens and redistribute it to another group of citizens... that is to say, you are actively harming someone else without their consent to help others. 

ALL government actions require the redistribution of resources, you numbwit. It’s called ‘taxation’ and has been around for a minute.

If you want to object to your taxes helping to fund pre- and post-natal care, go right ahead and object to it. But bear in mind that your objection gives the lie to your claimed pro-child stance. You’re supporting an increase in miscarriage, sickly infants, infant death, and the death of women during childbirth.

Try thinking things through, you ignorant wretch.

Interesting you ignored the word "consent" given the topic; I'll let that slide, but can't help but notice the comedy in it. 

Yes, taxation has existed for a long time - and for a long time, humans have risen up and killed those who unjustly and nonconsensually levied them upon them. If you know your American history and why we exist as an independent nation you're gonna have some clue on just how serious that issue can get.

Non sequitur and  argumentum ad passiones; that conclusion does not remotely follow - the idea that the government is the only solution to the problem is a false dilemma relying on a appeal to emotions to try and carry it. There are systems of support that do not required armed coercion.
