Thought of the day by Thomas Jefferson:

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

--Thomas Jefferson

In my previous post of the letter from Francis Cardinal George to then Citizen Obama (now President Obama), it is interesting to note that the good and holy Cardinal did not ask for prohibitions to embryonic stem-cell research, but that the sizalbe portion of the American population that firmly believes that this research is unethical, not be coerced to subsidize this practice through taxes. This thinking is consisted with the thought of the founding fathers.
