[quote=Riot;767314]I guess you missed the part where the GOP is trying to tie anti-abortion riders to the budget bill.

Yes, it is exactly that, Dell. The GOP have tied all these ridiculous culture war riders on the budget bill. The government of the United States is going to shut down, with hundreds of thousands on furlough, not getting paid, because the idiot GOP doesn't want to fund mammograms and pap smears for women.

Secondly, as a taxpayer, you have NEVER paid for one abortion. Not. One.[/QUOTE]

i googled that.. there are limitations on federal funding for abortions, but there are instances where it is allowed (rape, incest, life of the mother). in fact, there has been state and federal money spent on abortion over the years. a drop in the bucket budget wise, but it's not true that it's never happened.
