I never realized how powerful the abortion lobby in Washington, D.C. until this day...

“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.

It would be nice to hear some ranting from Harry Reid about the women who are forced or at least cohersed into prostitution in the State he represents. So, they don’t have to “hook” but how many come from homes where they were abused, from childhoods where they were raped, mentally and physically beaten. I’m seeing a lot of contradiction here.

This issue really has me shaking my head.

1. If you accept the premise that the federal government should be providing health care to the neediest among us, then are not cancer screenings and the like available to patients through doctors and clinics reimbursed through Medicaid?

2. Did not the President sign some sort of executive order banning federal funds from paying for abortions and are not abortions the primary business of Planned Parenthood? If Planned Parenthood is indeed providing essential services beyond abortion, have they offered to cease performing abortions in order to continue to receive federal funding and provide the cancer screening and counseling apparently so vital to the health of the American woman?

3. Abortion remains legal, regardless of the funding of Planned Parenthood.

4. If one is committed to the existence of Planned Parenthood, the federal government funds 33% of its budget. While removing those funds may force PP to restructure, it doesn't necessarily mean the end of PP. And, certainly, the highly motivated could run a successful fund raising campaign.

So much posturing and fuss over a very small budget cut, and actually an insignificant cut when compared to what must be done to put things right. Where on earth are the grownups?
