Shutdown showdown: Planned Parenthood hits the floor
The Daily Caller ^ | April 8, 2011 | Caroline May

Posted on 04/08/2011 11:27:19 AM PDT by Rufus2007

Calls to de-fund and efforts to defend Planned Parenthood have reached a fever pitch in light of the potential shutdown on Capitol Hill, with Democrats pointing to Republicans’ unwillingness to drop Planned Parenthood cuts as the reason for an imminent government shutdown.

“Republicans want to shut down our nation’s government because they want to make it harder for women to get the health services they need,” Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on the floor Friday. “This is indefensible and everyone should be outraged — men and women should be outraged.”

Both sides have gone to the mat over the issue, with pro-lifers arguing that Planned Parenthood is an abortion factory and pro-choicers pointing to the health-care aspects of Planned Parenthood’s mission.

The GOP must abort Planned Parenthood from the budget.

Good. Glad the GOP has these losers squirming. Planned Parenthoods name is mud since the scandal and the GOP knows it. Let the Rats wrap themselves in this loser. I think it hurts them far more than the GOP.

WRONG!

Democrats want to shut down our nation’s government because they want to make it harder to protect the lives of unborn children.

So Harry Reid is going to shut down the government because he wants to force Americans who by majority poll strongly against to fund abortion.

This will be absolutely classic if they get him on tape admitting this.

"....health services? Since when did murdering another human being become a health service?"

Obviously, you haven't been keeping up with the medical assisted suicide laws. For example, a elderly woman in Oregon actually got a letter from the State public assistance folks saying that she was not eligible for certain life saving medical procedures her doctor recommended, but that she was eligible for doctor assisted suicide.

So to answer your question....since many years ago murdering another human being became a health service, at least in some states.

Just insert the needle into the heart of the "fetus", or wait a few months, get a bigger needle and suck the brains out.

If all else fails and the little critter gets out, drown it, smash it with a hammer, strangle it, shoot it, whatever, it's not a baby it's a choice.

Just kill it... but don't show the pictures, or talk about it because it's too "icky".

The Feeble attempt by the Whigs to try and save the Republic from the Communists ends up in squabbling over Female Genitalia. Amazing and a sure bet that total collapse is near.

Reid has a hollow argument. The "health services" are available for women with or without federal financial support of abortions. The federal government has no business providing funds for abortion. We do not have the money. We do not support the culture of death. The time to start responsible fiscal policy is now.

Unfortunately, Democrats do not know what that is. They are getting too much money from the abortion industry lobbyists.

“men and women should be outraged”

Enough of the (viable) baby’s head is delivered so it can be cut open and the brain suctioned out. The rest of the body is cut-up with autopsy shears, then the pieces are removed and tossed in the trash.

If you don’t find that outrageous, you’re either psychotic or a Democrat.
