"It is my conviction that taxpayer funds appropriated pursuant to the Foreign Assistance Act should not be given to foreign nongovernmental organizations that perform abortions or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations…except as otherwise provided below...."

You're such a weasel, davis, that you're going to have to put in the entire context before I'm going to believe that the title of this article is true.

These "....." are commonly used by liberals and libertarians to twist the actual wording because they mean something was left out.

You wouldn't bullshit us now, davis, would you?

So, can I deduce from your response that you DID, intentionally, take this quote out of context?

What about the other quotes?

For instance. The last paragraph starts with this headline:

DUBYA SAYS USAID SUBSIDIES WILL FUND CHILD-SPACING ABORTIONS

NOWHERE in the paragraph is the word abortion or contraception used, referenced, or alluded to. In fact, it's hard to tell what the paragraph means since it's taken out of context.

The entire piece is taken out of context; the cute little headlines are given to it by "BushWatch" which I initially took to be some kind of porn site.

You're being dishonest, davis. Very dishonest.

From the TCC website:

PAT ROBERTSON DENOUNCES "EXTREME" SUPPORT FOR THE RIGHT TO LIFE

Rev. Pat Robertson, President and founder of the Christian Coalition, was interviewed by Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts on ABC's This Week (10/3/99):

BUSH IS "VERY ACCEPTABLE" TO ROBERTSON

SAM DONALDSON: "...[Y]ou like George W. Bush. And yet a lot of people think that he doesn't have the social agenda on abortion or anything else that in the past, has been the redweed of your Coalition."

REV. PAT ROBERTSON: "Well, I think he's a very fine candidate. Because I'm not endorsing anybody yet, but I think he would make a very acceptable candidate."

PAT DOESN'T WANT BUSH TO BE TOO CONSERVATIVE

SAM DONALDSON: "....[H]ere's something that you said recently, unless you want to deny it. (Laughter) Since it's not inflammatory, you probably won't. 'I personally am interested -- not interested in pushing him...' -- meaning George W. Bush -- 'so far to the right that he will not be electable.'"

REV. PAT ROBERTSON: "Yes."

SAM DONALDSON: "So, what is it? Is it principle, or is it who can win?"

REV. PAT ROBERTSON: "Well, it's principle, but at the same time, I quote that great paragon of virtue, Lyndon Johnson, who said to his left-wing supporters, don't push me so far to the left that I can't win. And I was just merely paraphrasing him. ..."

ROBERTSON THINKS IT'S OK TO MURDER CHILDREN SIRED BY THE WRONG PARENTS

COKIE ROBERTS: "[D]o you think in the past that the Coalition and some of its followers have pushed candidates too far to the right to be elected?"

REV. PAT ROBERTSON: "Well, we did that -- I didn't do it, but my former campaign manager in Virginia did it with a man named Marshall Coleman. In the primary, she pushed him way over to what amounted to an extreme position in relation to abortion, I mean, very extreme. ..."

COKIE ROBERTS: "What's an extreme position?"

REV. PAT ROBERTSON: "Well, on this one, I mean, there was no exception for anything. I mean, there was no exception for rape or incest or the life of the mother or anything. I mean, it was an absolute ban, a criminalization of abortion."

Who is 'Howard Philips'?

Isn't Howard Philips the chairman of the Conservative Caucus?

Wasn't he on the ticket for the Constitution Party - which is formerly the US Taxpayers Party ( US Taxpayers Party Changes its Name)?

This 'TCC' orgainization just looks to be a way to smear other conservatives ... and will, in the long run, in no way help you to reach your goals ...

Howard Phillips, the Constitution Party’s presidential nominee for the 2000 elections.

Howard Phillips? Why did it slip my mind that Howard Phillips was the head of the Conservative Caucus?

Howard is a perennial presidential candidate.

The "BushWatch" website has its tin cup out at the very top of the site.

Coincidence?

More like a swollen hemorrhoid.

You try and try and try to smear Bush with crap like this, davis, but it, somehow, just doesn't work.

Ever notice how your threads seem to just run out of gas?

Hell, if _Jim and Poohbah and I weren't here to dance on this thread's grave, it would have died two hours ago.
