Washington (CNN)Mark it down as a rare win for House GOP moderates. After scrambling into the evening on Wednesday, House Republican leaders decided to scrap a vote on a controversial anti-abortion measure scheduled to coincide with an annual gathering of anti-abortion advocates on Thursday because they couldn't round up enough support.

“Mark it down as a rare win for House GOP moderates”

What’s rare about the GOP establishment getting their way?

This is just the first of many victories by the moderate/RINO faction that rules the GOP.

What’s rare is conservatives getting a win.

No more abortion means no more Republicans. Remember how Blacks have been voting for Democrats all these years based on promises that their lives would be better? No more racism, no more Democrats. It’s the same thing. The emperor has no clothes.

And, frankly, people who think we can work with the Republican party need to wake the flip up!

I no longer buy into the illusion that our nation will recover from this downward spiral. Elections won’t fix this.

I agree whole heartedly, it has been mentioned that America is not mentioned in end time prophecy, and in my opinion it is because America will not exist as it does presently!

If the blacks aren’t getting behind the fact that 80% of abortions are minorities, I’m having a hard time getting motivated myself. As much as I like to stock my thumb in liberals’ eyes.

It really does not matter to me what percentage of the babies aborted or black, white or brown. God does not see skin color, only the innocence of the baby that is not given a chance to live. Minorities are never going to support conservative ideas, it is up to conservatives to fight for what is right.

This bill allows for abortions up to 20 weeks, why is there need for any Rape Exemption? A woman that has been raped has 20 weeks to solve the problem, right?

Why is there any need to put anything about Rape and Incest in this legislation?

What am I missing?

Shocker! NOT! Come on folks, do you really think that these elected folks are going to stand up against public opinion? Especially when public opinion is wrong!

These folks are far and few and not sure that we have elected any this cycle.

And once again, the name Renee Ellmers pops up in a bad way.

Shes for amnesty and against limiting abortion.

She’s a) a Republican and b) an effective representative of North Carolina just how?

“If the blacks aren’t getting behind the fact that 80% of abortions are minorities, I’m having a hard time getting motivated myself. As much as I like to stock my thumb in liberals’ eyes.”

Agree...the Dems seem PERFECTLY HAPPY to be wiping out generation after generation of their voters. It is tempting not to get in their way. By some estimates there would be 50% more blacks today if they hadn’t been aborted. Political races in the South would be much closer if they let those kids live (possibly even Baby Fat could have been re-elected)...and the Republicans would probably be either totally shot as a party, or at least neutered.

No, they need to get 218 CONSERVATIVES in office. We’re getting very close, but we’re not quite there...even with 247 Republicans.

1000 ping.

Right again. It’s a supernatural ability we have SJB. Has to be. no one can be this correct this often without divine intervention.

Or we just understand the GOP and the Democrats are the same people and most hate us for it. One or the other is correct. I wonder which...

Right you are friend.

America is as evil as many pagan nations were in the Old Testament, i.e. sacrificing babies, worshipping false idols (movie, music and sports stars), sexual perversions celebrated, moral and decent people who devote themselves to worshipping the One True God ridiculed, ostracized and punished and soon to be jailed for refusing to bow down to sexual perversion.

What more can we ask for - we get the leaders we deserve.

God chooses and permits evil leaders to rule over those who refuse to worship Him until they grow weary of the punishment and cry out to Him.

Come soon Lord Jesus!

Between 2007 and 2010, nearly 36 percent of all abortions in the U.S. were performed on blacks. Another 21 percent of abortions were performed on Hispanics, and an additional seven percent on other minority races.

Where do you get 80% from?
