He will sign the bill.
I wouldn't be so sure. When he was asked a couple of years ago if he would reinstate the Mexico City Policy, the executive order barring federal funding of any abortion-related medical care overseas, he said, "I don't know."
We’ll see if Daniels signs it.
Glad to see SOME politicians on our side with the guts to fight against the evil that’s consuming our country and our culture.
The taxpayer funded mass murder of babies in the womb is an annoying "social issue"?
Beam me the f*** up.
Daniels is right that social issues are secondary to financial issues and the defeat of obami. After that, then take up the social issues.
If nothing else, couch it as a budgetary measure - why should the taxpayer have to pay for what is purely an elective medical procedure?
He will sign it.
Daniels is a ninny, the financial is being spent on the social... every dime spent except for the military can be directly linked to 'social' issues.
I hope you’re right.
Let me get this straight, the state gets 4 mil a yr from the fed for “family planning” and 3/4 of that goes to PP?
So, the state will not contract with PP and this will leave a 1 mil hole in the “family planning” budget?
If I have that right it’s a no-brainer bargain and if Daniels wants to have an iota of a chance to be the pubbie nominee he signs this bill. Or, at least does not veto it, but I think a pocket non-veto does nothing for him politically unless he just wants to harp on that “truce” thing.
To the left a “truce” is like the muslim “hudna” a time to rest and gear up for more battles with your enemies, which in the left’s case is us.
“Family Planning” money is something that needs to fall completely by the wayside. Refer couples to the corner drug store for a box of condoms.
Well your thoughts are shallow and you are un-informed, but that is no surprise.
Where is the money being spent? Social liberalism is NOT fiscally conservative no matter how deep in the sand moderate high minded Republicans bury their heads. The high minded GOP will NOT help this nation IF they practice socialism lite.
So unless 75% of the federal money is spent on Planned Parenthood you don't get any of it?
There's no alternative.
Why are social issues secondary to financial issues? Can’t these politicians walk and chew gum at the same time?
It’s like a family saying, “We don’t have time to deal with family safety or having children. We only have time to buy groceries and pay the bills.”
If Daniels vetoes this it shows he is a major wimp.
Exactly right. Scratch a social liberal, find a fiscal liberal underneath.... every time.
Where do you put W in that theory?
