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.

(snip)

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.

(snip)

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?

[Kimberly GG]

what do you think the chances are?

I’d love to see a Hunter/Bachman or Hunter/DeMint ticket!

I absolutely LOVE Duncan Hunter and had an extraordinarily personal experience with him back in 2003. I was flying back from Corpus Christi to Houston after my mother's heart bypass and valve surgery when I met him on the plane. He had been invited on a hunting trip in south Texas and was en-route back to California. After days in the hospital, I had to place my heroic mother and invalid step-father in an assisted living facility until my mother got her strength back and could go home.

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.

Bump for a Great American

[familyop]

Yep. Hunter’s against the government health schemes, too, where his enemies, the [anti-]”growth” liberaltarian organizations would like to continue stealth support of certain versions of those same schemes (family-busting, anti-privacy, forced insurance payments,...). They want to use them to keep domestic business competition from starting up, to continue their fantasy about keeping anti-American deals with communist countries going. ...not to mention preferences of their politically correct families.

So the liberaltarians (misnamed “growth” this and that) bar Hunter from Republican politics and only help their liberal/affirmative action/feminist/NEA-supporting candidates to be seen with retarded bandwagon campaigns, name-calling, etc.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Wasn’t one of my top choices but I did get tired of explaning to Republican voters who he was.

[familyop]

...little reminder of the kinds of clans that we’re up against. And remember the bailouts, government giveaways to AIG, lack of regulations against thieving from the top. all.

The following are Fortune 500s that paid lawyers to file briefs in favor of “affirmative action” in the Michigan “Grutter v. Bollinger” (Michigan University) case.
