On Thursday, January 10, 2002, the White House reported President Bush signed the ominous $15.4 billion foreign appropriations bill, H.R. 2506, for fiscal-year 2002. The bill authorizes $446.5 million U.S. tax dollars to be given to other countries for abortion-family planning activities throughout the world. The abortion-family planning funds approved by Bush represents an increase of $21.5 million over last year for international family planning. Also on Thursday, Bush signed the labor, education and health spending bill, and a defense spending bill that was widely reported by The Associated Press (Bush Signs Defense Spending Bill).
I'm no Bushbot (I'm a Keyester). I just like to check the source before I go believing everything you antiBushbots pull out of your collective arse.
We are going to give money to pimps. Pimps may not use the money for kidnapping girls and turning them into hookers. Pimps may use the money to pay for laundry bills, clothes, and other goodies, and the money pimps would have otherwise spent on those items will now be available to spend on hiring thugs for kidnapping. But we're not really encouraging you to kidnap.
The Clinton administration would have specially targetted the money so it was used for abortions.
The idea that the language contained in this bill is going to prevent the recipient governments, UN agencies and NGO's from funding abortion is laughable."
To parallel the bushbabies comments about "bushbashers" let's try this ----
Nothing you say will change their minds that jr. can do no wrong!
Then argue against that, but don't rely on lies to make a point like this article does.
Why? Because, with the help of the Pubbies, they've got a "veto-proof" majority or what?
We can debate the literal correctness of the article until the cows come home--and divide into "BushBot" and "Anti-Bushbot" camps while were at it. I suspect that someone, somewhere, deep in the bowels of International Planned Parenthood or the UN Population Fund is laughing at us....
Turning back the 6 year old Federal Food Stamp /Welfare reform law ,passed under President Clinton, President Bush has restored food stamps to LEGAL immigrants...is that better? The Hispanics will still spit in his face at election time..some people's vote can not be bought.But the Republicans have not figured that out yet
Only if you define the dispensing of birth control pills or IUDs to be abortion. Most of us do not agree with your religious beliefs.
Use the commonly accepted meaning of "abortion" and show me where this bill sends money to abortionists.
You folks REALLY fear admitting that you've been decieved and lied to, don't you?
It probably won't impact the number of abortions one way or the other. Most of the money will be eaten by bueracrats. So I don't think it is a good use of money, but I don't think it shows Bush is a Clinton-clone/pro-abortion either.
In his new Book, Death of the West, Buchanan notes that the West will soon be far outnumbered by other nationalities. Isn't the only way to continue to maintain control over our own system of government and maintain democratic governments among our firends and allies to encourage abortion among some of these third world nations?
I think this is an issue that is extremely troubling from a moral standpoint. Yes, abortion is wrong. But at the cost of our country?
You seem to be the one who does not realize that for someone to be "given" something has to be taken, and if it taken against your will, it is theft, plain and simple.
a famous man once said the worst tyranny is to make a man pay for something he does not want.
but you don't care and the funny thing is bush is taking us places while we dancing and sining that clinton could not take us kicking and screaming.
and you care not...just tow the party line...
SEC. 518. None of the funds made available to carry out part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be used to pay for the performance of abortions as a method of family planning or to motivate or coerce any person to practice abortions. None of the funds made available to carry out part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be used to pay for the performance of involuntary sterilization as a method of family planning or to coerce or provide any financial incentive to any person to undergo sterilizations. None of the funds made available to carry out part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be used to pay for any biomedical research which relates in whole or in part, to methods of, or the performance of, abortions or involuntary sterilization as a means of family planning. None of the funds made available to carry out part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be obligated or expended for any country or organization if the President certifies that the use of these funds by any such country or organization would violate any of the above provisions related to abortions and involuntary sterilizations.
Does anyone check the sources, or just jump to conclusions? I am still not sure what exactly is true and what isn't, but I would think folks would look up the bill and try to find out.
LOL Yea Black and Hispanic immigrants with voting family memebrs ......LOL
Great question. See my post #178.
