First, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to tax and spend to pay for abortions. So this bill is arguably a step towards restoring the constitutional republic.
Except that Im not buying it for the following reasons.
I dont think that RINO-controlled Senate would have enough votes to pass the House anti-abortion bill, corrections welcome. And even if Senate passed the bill, the Sentate probably doesnt have the 2/3 majority majority vote, probably neither the House (corrections welcome) to override an Obama veto of such a bill.
So I think that House RINOs are just politicking less then two years before 2016 election day, hoping that women forget that they passed this anti-abortion bill by that time.
So much for my the glass is half empty perspective. What do die-hard, optimistic DC patriots think, if there are any?
It’s kabuki theater.
