A roll call vote would be useful even though this is only a committee vote with only 33 rubberstamping forcing taxpayers to finance special interest legislation for a very wealthy abortion lobby which could easily afford to pay for their own slaughterhouses.

Many pro-abortionists are against the death penalty. Their confusion is infinite.

There are simply some things public tax dollars should not be used for. Abortion on demand being at the top of the list.

Socialized health care can have you aborted at age 55+.

The left wants to force all normal people to PAY with their tax money for abortions, even if it is against their principles.

They are against the killing of their own criminal kind. They have nothing in common with innocence.

Just for the heck of it, why doesn’t a Conservative propose an amendment that LIBs MUST abort babies by the third trimester?

This just makes me sick. And it makes me quake with anger. NO ONE SHOULDHAVE TO HAVE THEIR MONEY USED TO FUND THE KILLING OF AN INNOCENT HUMAN BEING GROWING IN ITS MOM's WOMB.

If MOM wants to SLAUGHTER HER CHILD....she can DAMN WELL PAY FOR IT HERSELF or TURN TO OTHER LIBERAL SLAUGHTER FOLKS WHO CAN AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE DEATH COSTS.
