For Dems, Abortion Trumps All
Townhall.com ^ | February 2, 2012 | Carol Platt Liebau

How charming. Democrats are attacking the Susan G. Komen breast cancer foundation because it has declined to give yet another grant to Planned Parenthood.


Note that Planned Parenthood itself doesn't even do breast screenings . . . by its own admission, it only "connects" women to entities that do provide cancer screenings and mammograms.  How can one argue that Komen has done something wrong by concluding that its money wasn't best spent handing grants to the nation's best-known abortion provider -- one that provides no direct services pertaining to breast health?

And that isn't even the stated basis for the foundation's decision.  It's because of the organization's policy of refusing to give funds to entities that are under federal investigation -- as Planned Parenthood is.

But now, Democrat Jackie Spier is misusing her power as a lawmaker by implicitly threatening Komen's tax-exempt status, hinting (ridiculously) that Komen may somehow have violated the law governing the treatment of non-profits. And predictably, Barbara Boxer is attacking it as a "political decision."

Even as a Catholic backlash against President Obama grows, it's becoming clear that the Democrats' rabid support for abortion -- and all who provide it -- far outweigh their concern both for freedom of conscience and for the right of private charitable organizations to be able to spend their money the way they deem fit, in keeping with their mission.

Ironically, if you’re pro-choice in the Republican party, you’re a pariah also...just like being pro-life in the Democratic party.

I am really surprised I haven’t seen more media on this.

The Susan Komen Facebook page is being deluged by pouty demons who are assailing Komen over everything.

There’s a report that Bonzana Oil owner Lee Fikes (Soros buddy) has donated $2-400,000 to planned parenthood in protest. Don’t know if that’s true.

Abortion, money treasure, communist dreams of burning money etc... avoiding to pay and be found a criminal... no money, no kids, no criminals, this is the new formula for the socialist Democrat western suicide.

Komen needs to know it is not only good to be pro-life, but long term in the best interest of anything falling trap to this hooker evil product that the abortion industry is.

And no, we cannot force doctors to perform it, and if we are catholics, it is none of the government’s inquisitive’s business. This is murder of a profession behind scapegoating christian. If one is hypocratic or antihypocratic, one must live with the consequences and subsequent investigation.

Truth of the matter is this parabolla of fruitfulness:

If a woman is a treasure island and the man has the key, then a deal is possible.

Premarital sex has rendered the whole slippery slope to make it that it is all paranoiac from when it starts, ie. before a deal was made, a treasure was found and open and the parties are fighting for it.

Burn the treasure says the culprits, and then die, and then we are all happy... murder suicide, that is.

The Democrats are morphing from the party of death into the cult of death. Barbie Boxer is their high priestess in the Senate, Pelosi the high priestess in the House, and the Messiah and his bride occupy the White House (Joe BiteMe is the court jester). It will indeed by a Brave New World if they achieve and retain ascendency in this nation.

So, for all you “progressive” voters, be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.

I just went to the SGK facebook page and liked all the pro life comments. Added a couple myself. Running about 2:1 against their decision.

You’d think that they would want more live babies to have more live voters....guess they just enjoy voter fraud and killing babies a lot more.

A gun owner is trashed for being able to defend herself from someone set on killing her.....possibly even arrested and jailed etc.
But that same woman is given a choice and a paid for oppurtunity to kill an innocent person, no problem...simply because that person is living inside of her and is unwanted or too much trouble.

At 10+months it ‘s a definite crime, at 4 months or less it ‘s a choice and a “right”....then there’s the gray area of how many weeks is it not ok to kill a baby anymore.....

Sorry I’m babbling...abortion makes me sick!

For Democrats, restricting abortion creates as much passion as restricting guns does for Republicans.

if you’re pro-choice in the Republican party, you’re a pariah also ...

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Of course. Truth is truth. Even the Declaration of Independence states it emphatically ... you MUST put Life first. The Creator transcends politics or party.

On the question of whether this is a life, endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable rights .... ?

Absolutely no room for anything other than the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth ... so help us God.

"Big tent" is code for queers, abortionists and other perverted liberals. They aren't welcome at F.R. either.
