Democrat Disgraceful Ploy

[dellinger63]

Harry Reed comes out as if this is a budget fight based on his wife's ability to get an abortion or his daughters or his grand-daughters.

Someone poke him and tell him all is still legal, just I (and all taxpayers) will no longer pay for them!

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.

They are not trying to put any anti-abortion law thru. It's all in the funding. And as a taxpayer I guarantee I and everyone else in Cook county IL has paid for an abortion unless the hospitals are hiding babies. Stop the Huffington crap, please.

You are clueless about the numerous riders the GOP have put on the budget bills, what has come and gone, and what is left.

And no, your federal tax dollars have never paid for an abortion. Not. One.

Sorry - no "Huffington crap" here. Just WSJ, USA Today, major news outlets. Try it, rather than reading only RedState. You might learn something.

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.

Federal, State, County whatever. Taxpayers are funding abortions whether it be right or wrong it's happening. Maybe Soros can open a string of clinics as that would be his right!

Well no, we are not talking "federal, state, county, whatever", we are talking specifically about today, about the GOP holding up approving a budget, and shutting down our government, because they want a rider to defund Planned Parenthood to prevent federal dollars going to abortion there.

That is completely bogus, as federal dollars do NOT fund abortion at Planned Parenthood, that is illegal.

Dell, you laughed at Harry Reid, and called it a "disgraceful Democratic ploy", yet he's precisely correct. That is exactly what the budget fight is about tonight, right now. The Republicans are inserting yet another one of their culture war riders into an emergency government funding bill.

Can't Soros and Hollywood hold a fundraiser and cover the shortfall of condoms and BC pills?

BTW the GOP isn't asking for citizens to be armed if they can't afford to do so on their own.

Planned Parenthood now has 800 health centers in the United States. The most controversial services are their in-clinic abortions and emergency contraception services. But the organization also offers breast exams, cervical cancer screening and vaccines for sexually transmitted diseases.

Just sayin

Sorry - I was referring to the Republican budget rider defunding federal dollars for Planned Parenthood in the name of "preventing abortion" - which is a nonsensical falsehood, as no federal funds go to abortion at Planned Parenthood.

Yes, Medicaid can cover some medical abortions, so yes, federal Medicaid dollars can indeed rarely go to some abortions, that is correct, and a good point.

But no, no federal tax dollars go to elective abortions at Planned Parenthood and similar clinics, and no, they do not go to "routine" elective abortions at all. The statement "I'm tired of funding them" doesn't hold up.

Was not talking about state tax dollars, just federal dollars.
