Senator Ben Sasse Slams Nancy Pelosi for Trying to Sneak Abortion Funding in Bill to Combat Coronavirus

Senate Ben Sasse is not happy after learning that Speaker Nancy Pelosi tried to sneak abortion funding into the bill to combat the Coronavirus. The pro-life Nebraska Republican criticized the House Speaker for exploiting the situation to advance her pro-abortion agenda.

As LifeNews reported, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is so dedicated to promoting abortion and forcing Americans to fund killing babies in abortion that she has been caught trying to add taxpayer financing of abortions to the bill to combat the Coronavirus and provide economic stimulus to the nation as it deals with the COVD-19 outbreak.

Pelosi came under heavy criticism from pro-life advocates — including from President Trump’s son Donald trump Jr, who tweeted: “This pretty much sums everything up: @realDonaldTrump is moving quickly to protect Americans from coronavirus and its economic impact… Democrats are spending their time trying to create an abortion slush fund.”

Now, Senator Sasse is criticizing her as well, according to a National Review report:

“While schools are closing and hospitals are gearing up, Speaker Pelosi is waging unnecessary culture wars. Speaker Pelosi should be fighting the coronavirus pandemic, not politicizing emergency funding by fighting against the bipartisan Hyde Amendment,” Sasse told National Review in a statement. “We need to be ramping up our diagnostic testing, not waging culture wars at the behest of Planned Parenthood. Good grief.”

According to the report, it appears Pelosi and the White House have resolved the issue, with Pelosi backing down from her abortion crusade:

Pelosi went back and forth with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin Thursday, ultimately coming close to a deal, with the House set to vote on the package Friday after the Speaker reportedly dropped the matter.

“We’ve resolved most of our differences, and [for] those we haven’t we’ll continue the conversation, because there will obviously be other bills,” Pelosi told reporters on Thursday.

Pelosi has a long history of promoting abortion and her first act after becoming Speaker in 2019 was pushing legislation to use tax money for abortions. So it’s no surprise she is trying to exploit the Coronavirus pandemic to push abortion funding again.

Americans should insist to their members of Congress that we need a clean bill that provides aggressive action to help patients and spur the economy. Killing babies with our tax dollars is not the answer to the coronavirus and the situation should not be exploited for political gain.

“All this fuss over 2 pounds of Earthling Brain.” — Frankie Mouse

But seriously, when the sexual revolution successfully reduced the pursuit of happiness to who screws what without constraint (because to people who’ve never fought fascism suxpggesting they be moral is fascistic), so that sex is utterly exempt from any common sense regulation, it naturally set the stage to likewise put anything that helps there be more sex without consequences (like abortion tries to do) would be similarly untouchable.

Trump needs to tweet ...

NO NANCY, WE ARE NOT KILLING THE UNBORN as we fight the coronavirus. Abortion is a women’s choice not a mandate for taxpayers to pay for.

“Speaker Nancy Pelosi tried to sneak abortion funding into the bill to combat the Coronavirus”

Sort of. But not really. The truth is worse. It’s not that she tried to kill off a few babies on the way to rescuing the rest of the country.

She was inserting this language as a (almost literal) poison pill, to get the Republicans to vote gainst it and make sure it fails in the Senate or even better, to get Trump to veto it.

Objective being to prolong the misery and prevent Trump from fixing the problem so they can win back the White House.

She did the same with her bizarre speech against Republicans during the financial rescue bill in 2008. Goal then was tank the economy to make Bush look bad.

She puts the D in TDS.

Who stated that at the most basic level, the liberal is an adolescent forever in search of a world without moral consequence? Whomever it was, if still extant, must have laughed his/her assets off when Nanzi tore up the SOTU document.

There is a special place in Hell waiting on that woman. I think there are a few more reservations there that should be filling up soon.
