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.

Republicans, DO NOT BACK DOWN ON THIS. This is the absolute bottom line. Anyone who backs down on this is cooked, finished, kaput.

>>but that she was eligible for doctor assisted suicide.<<

So they can cut her up in pieces to salvage the organs that are suitable for transplanting.

IIRC, somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but seems to me this is about the Left controlling the black population in America. This goes back to whatsername the ranting Leftist Supremacist witch from Hell. Can’t remember her name right this minute.

I think that story needs to be told, and retold especially to the Black population of America so they understand the Left is NOT their friend. The Left is using them. The Left is screwing them.

Granted all races are effected by abortion laws, but primarily the blacks in America, and that’s by design.

I saw that, Why do Democrats think this is a winner for them?

If I was a GOP Senator or Representative I would be out there telling everyone that ever freaking dime/nickel/penny cut from planned parenthood was transfered to woman’s health.

SO WHAT IS THIS MAN TALKING ABOUT, ABORTION, YES GOV FUNDED ABORTIONS!!!

What an evil man, he just can’t admit it.

Not sure if its the abortion lobby or the left seeing all its work or the past half century coming undone. Unions,ACORN,now PPP and soon NPR. There’s plenty more work to be done although i think the one area that will take generations to overcome is all the liberal teachers infesting our system. The second most difficult would be judges of the same idiotic persuasion.
They’re at the point where they have to circle the wagons on everything.

I completely agree. I can only surmise that it is the stranglehold of the feminazis over the Dems to do this.

If I was a GOP Senator or Representative I would be out there telling everyone ...

I pray God that the abortion mills of Planned Parenthood will be defunded and shut down forever!

Go, Tea Party members! Don’t back down.

You’d think that if the libs were really serious about saving Social Security, they’d do whatever they could to discourage Planned Parenthood and abortion.

Great point. A similar comparison was noted on this thread (Who Are The Real Baby Killers?) by FReeper jenk at their blog. Baby-killers indeed!

“Liberals in the Senate are ready to shut down the federal government rather than end the practice of borrowing money from China to fund abortion providers here at home.”
- Representative Mike Pence (R-IN)

Very aptly said.

There is no issue with a woman’s health if she keeps her legs together.

I certainly did not encourage any woman to have sex & not be married.
I certainly did not encourage any woman to have sex without birth control or a condom.
I certainly did not get the woman pregnant.
Nor did I at any time encourage any man to impregnate any woman.

WHY should my tax money be used by this irreaponsible person for the consequences of HER actions???

Forcing taxpayers to pay for such items is just exactly why the Democrats have driven the budget of this country over a cliff.

Donald Trump is looking better & better each day.

Abortion is an act of violence perpetrated by medical personnel. It is no more a health service than is embezzlement by a bank executive a financial transaction.
