Pelosi: GOP using Planned Parenthood as 'whipping boy' in health debate
The Hill ^ | Feb. 18, 2011 | Mike Lillis

Posted on 02/18/2011 5:28:43 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

A GOP proposal to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood will threaten women's health and increase the frequency of abortion in America, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi warned Friday.

The California Democrat accused Republicans of using Planned Parenthood "as a whipping boy to disguise their opposition to family planning" services in general.

"This is a very dangerous situation for the health – the reproductive health – of women across our country," Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol. "It's degrading to women; it's disrespectful; it doesn't make any sense; and if you want to reduce the number of abortions in our country, you must commit to supporting contraception and family planning.

"Perhaps we have to have a lesson in the birds and the bees around here for [Republicans] to understand that," she quipped.

Go into hiding Nancy. Your votes are meaningless these days anyway.

Sorry Nazi. Nobody cares what you think anymore. Real Americans think it’s time you went the hell home and spent more time with the family. We’ve had about all of you we can take.

No correlation.

Whipping boys didn’t dismember babies or cover up the crimes of pedophiles.

We all know the outcry from the RATS when someone goes after their main tenant of LIBERALISM. (post here an audio clip of squealing pig)

"Whipping Boy". How perverse when you think about it.

Somehow I don't see the link between natural pregnancy, murdering unborn children and reproductive health.

Like that abortion doctor in Philadelphia who is accused of murdering live babies outside the womb. Called a house of horrors by some (yes, I know they all are).

The point is that in the case of serial killers, for every one caught, their are a hundred out there doing the same. They are serial killers. Some mask themselves as politicians. Right Nancy?

Last I checked, regular checks and keeping your legs closed until marriage worked.

I want a printout of the ‘reproductions’ that have occured due to Planned Parenthood’s interventions (add to that referral proof to obstetricians).

OK Nancy. Since you are such a good fund raiser, how about financing Planed Parenthood via the private sector instead of stealing it from the public sector?
