Is my vote not the say? If I am a christian and I don't want my money going towards abortion, then I'm going to vote for candidates who support that. That anyone should argue that I should not have that say is frankly scary.

And yes, because it's money from my pocket (as I explained), if someone asked me directly, I would have opinions on how it ought to be spent.
