FUROR ON ABORTION ENDING IN SILENCE
NY Times - Oct 28, 1992
After a furious debate in its waning hours, Congress earlier this month approved a bill to allow military personnel and their dependents to have abortions at military hospitals overseas.
President Bush opposes the bill, as he has for the past three years, and is trying to let the measure die a quiet death. Strangely enough, the bill’s most fervent supporters have barely protested, even though the legislation has never before advanced this far.

At issue is whether thousands of American military personnel and their dependents stationed abroad, where good medical care is not always available, should be given access to safe and affordable abortions. The proposal would not include public financing for the abortions.

Opponents said the measure was tantamount to military-approved abortions on demand.
Representative Duncan Hunter, Republican of California, argued, “The unborn children who are going to be subjected to this very, very radical act through this particular provision are those children who are going to be aborted in military hospitals around the world, and I think it is a tragedy that this Department of Defense is going to be used as a Department of Aggression against unborn children.”

Who says he’s out potential next CiC? The same six people who did last year?
Gee, and to think the millions that thought a RINO like Mccain could beat the boy marxist, eh?
Make that 7 people.
Duncan Hunter is a true conservative and his record shows it. Who are you behind?

BUMP
What's your point?
"Who are you behind?"
Nobody, because it's 2009 and we have a midterm election we should be focusing on.
Here is a simple tip for that. Find the conservatives in the races, support them with time and money, and get your friends fired up to vote
Thanks for that, never would have figured it out otherwise. Hopefully all my friends won’t be too busy slitting each other’s throats over their preferred 2012 messiah to make it to the polls.
I would ask you “what’s your point”? If you aren’t behind DH, then why make a smartass post on a thread that shouldn’t interest you in the least.
I’m focused on the midterms as well. But it’s never too early to start getting the word out about DH.
I for one welcome the thread and feel it’s about damn time that we throw our support behind a candidate who can energize the base with a common cause, conservatism.

You never know. but if you scroll through this, you might see some people can multi-task.

what do you think the chances are?
I’d love to see a Hunter/Bachman or Hunter/DeMint ticket!
Yeah, DH has got a great track record on that front.
We won’t know if he’s going to run for quite some time. The only thing he’s said is that he hasn’t ruled anything out. But even if he doesn’t run, he needs to influence the debate again. Notice how all the china appeasers and open borders hacks were sounding Churchillian on China and Hunter-esque on the border towards the end of the last campaign? LOL.
Of course they didn’t really mean it.
No worries, mate, there will be plenty of milquetoasts for you to choose from running again.
Along with the few token laughable no-hopers.
Mom wasn't very happy there and my sister and I regretted that we didn't live nearby so that the re-cooperation could take place in their own home. I'll never forget Duncan Hunter's questions about my mother and step-father and his genuine concern that I felt so helpless. I was so impressed with our conversation that I asked him what he did for a living. He cracked a slight smile and told me that he was a US Rep from California. I could tell that he wold have preferred to be anonymous. He was the most down to earth ‘politician’ I've ever met and I really do feel that he is one of God's angels.
As our plane was descending upon Houston, Rep Hunter asked me the names of my mother and step-father and if I mined that he say a prayer for ‘Mary and Eric’. Of course I accepted his truly genuine offer and he proceeded to say the most beautiful prayer for perfect strangers.
I've been in the sales profession for years and can spot a phony from a mile away. Duncan Hunter is ONE OF THE MOST GENUINE CHRISTIAN CARING PATRIOTS THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER KNOWN. PLEASE SUPPORT HIM.
“The only thing he’s said is that he hasn’t ruled anything out.”
Really? I’m so please to know that. I had no clue he was even interested anymore.
Great story...thanks for sharing it!
Duncan Hunter got my vote in 2008 and he’ll get it again!
