From the Article:
(2) Also in 1992, McConnell voted to overturn the so-called “Reagan Rule” that prohibited Planned Parenthood from using taxpayer dollars for pro-abortion counseling.
Roll Call Vote #254, 10/1/92
McConnell’s vote in that case was to override President Bush’s veto, but the House sustained it. Then, in 1993, President Clinton overturned the “Reagan Rule” by Executive Order on the first day of his administration.
Because Uniparty Rules.
We could send Carson to cut off his doodads but he would come back empty handed.
We should have, more than ten days before the end of the fiscal year, send funding bills to Obama for everything except HHS. Then Obama could either have vetoed those bills and taken the blame; or signed them, in which case most of FedGov doesn’t get shut down; or done nothing, in which case they would become law after ten days. At that point, once the rest of FedGov is funded, we could have a showdown over Obamacare and Planned Parenthood, and far fewer people would object to shutting down just HHS, not to mention that it would be clear that Obama was shutting down medicare/medicaid.
The problem is that the GOP leadership doesn’t want to win. They want to lose and use their annual defeat to try to motivate voters. We need President Cruz to give us victories, because Boehner and McConnell will not do that for conservatives.
It certainly quacks like a duck...
Or worse yet, he really doesn’t care about the abortion issue, or is pro abortion.
What PP does would make Hitler’s angel of death proud.
Mcconnel was not a conservative on anything. Those who say Mcconnel is a coward don’t understand him at all. He’s quite brave in defending what he truly believes in, which is Left wing ideology
Interesting, but I don’t think it answers the question of why McConnell won’t stand up to the Dems on any other issue, either. Whatever that reason is, probably rules all the issues.
The article above points out that McConnell has consistently voted in favor of abortion over the years.
It is so bad that he once voted to override a veto by GHW Bush of an abortion bill.
That is blatant. No republican from Kentucky would EVER get in trouble with Kentucky voters for voting to end abortions. There is no excuse for trying to override your own party’s president who didn’t want to fund abortions.
That is about as blatant and clear an example of actual support for abortion that one will ever see.
See #11. If you’re a committed supporter of abortion, then at heart you’re a liberal.
Off with his head.
{If you’re a committed supporter of abortion, then at heart you’re a liberal.}
...and a murderer.

Shame on you, KY.
There are only two candidates that have what it takes to be in the White House, Trump= to get rid of the dead wood, make deals to get manufacturing jobs back to America, build a wall and export the illegal immigrants that are draining the money out of America, to build a strong Military, to take care of our Vets, to fix the inter structure of America, to help Americans get a health care program that everyone can afford, to get rid of the trillions of dollar of debt we have...
Cruz: good speaker, knows the Constitution of what we can and cannot do, will support Trump on Making America Great Again, can be the go between from House to Senate....
And after 4 or 8 years, Cruz can go in as POTUS and continue the program that he and Trump have built...
Good all around America First thinking....
Tis a shame they're so gutless, and so powerful at the same time.
If the GOP doesn't get rid of them, and soon, in favor of fighters for what's supposed to be the GOP conservativecauses (on paper), I would not be surprised if they lose the power they so much want to keep.
Shame on these two. Horrible, spineless and cretinous.
McConnell and Boehner DO FIGHT. But their enemy is the conservatives who who blindly listen to their “rules” and their power.
It is all about the Benjamnins and votes.
