Democrats are now pushing for full taxpayer funded abortions, something that would have been unthinkable a decade ago. The Daily Caller reports:
Democrats in the House want to rollback pro-life legislation by repealing the Hyde Amendment and forcing taxpayers to fund abortions.
As the Washington Examiner reports, the Democrats, who now have a majority in the House of Representatives, held a news conference Tuesday to reiterate their demand to repeal the Hyde Amendment and neutralize other pro-life measures.
“I believe that for the first time, maybe in our nation’s history, we actually have a pro-choice majority in the U.S. House of Representatives,” Colorado Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette told reporters.
DeGette was not alone. With her was Planned Parenthood President Dr. Leana Wen and members of the Pro-Choice Caucus, a legislative club for congressmen and senators who support abortion. They announced they would be sponsoring the Each Woman Act, a bill to undo the Hyde Amendment — a seminal piece of pro-life legislation that prevents federal funding for any abortions outside of those followed by rape, incest or the potential harming of the mother.
A majority of Americans are against loosening abortion laws any further, and this could seriously backfire on Democrats.
Anyone who says they are pro-choice and supports Planned Parenthood is an accessory to murder. I know Christians who say they are pro-choice. I say this,” If you believe in killing babies and say you’re a Christian – you’re not a Christian! Abortion kills babies and thou shall not kill!!
Democrats are Killers.
Now the stupid brain dead demoRATS are talking out of their a*s again.
THIS IS THE KIND OF THINGS YOU SEND TO RUN THE GOV.WE NEED TO SEND EVERY ONE THAT VOTED FOR THIS TRASH THAT WANTS OUR BABY S KILLED OFF. SEND THEM TO TAKE THE PLACE OF THESE S BABY S ,PACK THERE ASS IN BOX S BARROW S AND HAVE THE TRUCKS HAUL THEM OFF,THAT S THE DEMO S YOU PUT IN THE GOV,THIS IS ONLY ONE OF THERE SMARTS, BUT THEY ARE LOADED WITH THIS GOOD STUFF. MILTON. SEND THEM.
The D’s in office think they can be God but they don’t understand,this isn’t about what a woman does with her body. This action is murder and they don’t want to be the only killers so they want each of us to pay for murdering babies. I am against killing because God has said not to murder,it is His place to make or take life not we here in our country. They are trying to see just how demented they can get,we don’t want to pay for any murders. Nancy should just not care about any others at all to push this on top of no wall.
If a pregnant woman is murdered, and the baby also dies, the killer is charged with two murders. So why wouldn’t someone who aborted a baby be charged with murder?
Another attempt to destroy religious liberty. Those of us who view this as against our religious views should not have to pay for someone to murder their baby.
Abortion is a form of birth control. Why should I have to pay for some else’s birth control when no one else paid for mine?
Why are they so determined to kill babies? They want free sex? They want to do the opposite of what Trump wants? They have no boundaries/real love/are full of hate/want baths in baby blood so they can live longer? They only care about themselves in reality?
I wouldn’t be *too* upset if the taxpayer funded abortion came with a mandatory *free* tubal ligation as the price for the participant, excaept in the hyde amendement circumstances.
I bet there are no reliable statistics (other than mortuary) on repeat aborters – these are the folks that need the above treatment. The rest of us shouldn’t be burdened by your “choice” particularly since you made two choices: one to hav e unprotected sex & to to terminate the pregnancy.
Actually option a should be a requirement for people on public assistance who get pregnant while on public assistance, or it’s the reason they’re going on public assistance. It’s FAR more economical and less future destroying than the current alternative.
This would be the only bill that if Nancy Pelosi added the complete funding for the “Border Wall” to it, President Trump would still veto it. Thank GOD for a religiously devout President who cares more for life than he does for his political goals, unlike Democrats who care for nothing that is not evil and/or deviant to the souls of mankind. GOD is watching and taking names, and it is now too late for Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and most Democrats, who oppose GOD’s teachings, precepts, and mandates through their actions, and words to corrupt others to sin as they have.
Yes. Thank God.
Yeah…
Most of the above comments come from persons without a uterus.
Comments, pro or con, on the subject of abortion, should only come from individuals who are directly affected by the life changes, pain, suffering, euphoria, happiness, mental stability, and life-long responsibilities that accompany the conditions of pregnancy and child raising. Please ignore this comment, because in my own view, I am unqualified to express one.
You are indeed qualified. You have in fact been directly affected by (possibly long past) decisions — those made by your mother.
There is no telling how many geniuses in medicine, engineering, law, etc have been lost because abortion was chosen over life.
The best answer is to tell the libs to Go To Hell and cancel the $500 million we pay Planned Parenthood to murder our most vulnerable citizens.
Yeah…what do you think we’ve been trying to do for the last 2 years?
The Democrats are the first ones to stay that they are the protectors of
the people, unfortunately those “people” do not include unborn babies,
they only include the people that are killing those unborn babies.
Now this provision will go a long way in getting girls pregnant because
their boyfriends or whoever they are sleeping with can tell them “you don’t
have to worry about getting pregnant and paying for an abortion” the
government will pay for it so we can get you knocked up as many times without
ever having to worry about paying for an abortion
Thanks to the Democrats we will not be killing 50,000 unborn babies a year
WE WILL BE KILLING 100,000 OR MORE, maybe a few hundred girls as well
but who cares, THE DEMOCRATS DONT CARE,
It won’t backfire on the demoncRATS. They will cry racism or bigotry or sexism or some other ism and then people will be afraid to be called an Ism.
I’m so tired of the term “pro-choice.” It’s “pro-abortion,” pure and simple. What other choices are they talking about? Decaf or regular?
Actually, instead of “pro-choice”, it is pro-death.
Yah, and a wall is immoral, yet paying for abortions with tax payer money is not?
Very well put. DT should use that in the state of the union address
Excellent point.
Well, if this is true and they wish to push forth a piece of legislation that the House gets behind, does not that still require a Senate vote as well as the President too! If this is the case, how is it that they are getting all excited about this, especially when they know full well the Senate and the President will ‘NOT” sign such legislation,. or unless I am not understanding this process correctly? PERIOD!
This is a prep for the 2020 elections. Pandering to part of their base.
Fat lot of good it will do them once President Trump appoints the next Supreme Court Justice to rescind the right to abortion back to the States…about 28 states have Republican State Senate’s and House majorities, who oppose abortion on demand…The Liberal Judges of the Supreme Court that first decided on Roe v Wade are being replaced with Constitutional Conservatives and with the hopefully painful agonizingly horrid death of one of the staunchest supporters of abortion Ruth Bader Ginsburg who is at deaths cold freezing door the Court will have a solid 6-3 Conservative majority…
Looking at the financial aspect, mentioned above, using public funds, aka taxpayers funds, to pay for abortions is a lot more conomical than paying welfare.
However, it certainly does nothing to promote PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!
For Warrior-who-rides-into-battle-strangely:
You have hit the nail on the head on that one.
Yeah, that may be true for single parent homes. What ever happened to the dad’s who are “supposed” to support their family??? Are we supposed to let them “off the hook” by MURDERING their children?? You know, we could REALLY reduce prison expenses if we just EXECUTED all FELONS (as was done when ‘felonies’ were first defined — Burglary, Arson, Rape, Robbery and Mayhem).
Larry…in Iowa a few years ago, was a dad? that was 25, and had 23 kids by different women, and bragged about it…So, let’s put the ‘monkey’ on the man’s? back….we’ll give you two, and if you’re not going to support them, then…fix him…
Think about the basis/premise behind what you’ve stated.
Why not euthanize all the elderly and all the ill?
Do you realize this is close to what is going on in China? This is a totalitarian notion you have expressed.
I don’t know if it is right or wrong, according to different peoples beliefs. My belief goes along with the bible though. It is the oldest document in print to date. It says that the killing of an unborn child, is the same as murder. I have to believe that is true, I have a problem with anyone killing anyone. The bible says do not kill, it is plain and simple. Do not lie, honor your mother and father, I wonder how many Democrats, can say they aren’t breaking that one. This is about abortion though, it was never made legal, the justices just said that congress, should determine when life begins. It never said that abortion should be legal.
While I agree with most of your comment, the Bible says to not MURDER, not the generic kill. There is nothing immoral or anti-Biblical to kill to protect human life. In fact, we are required to defend the “weak” and ourselves.
I’m not so sure. That is the English translation you’re reading. It would be noteworthy to see the original Aramaic or whatever.
The original Hebrew (not Aramaic) is properly translated as Do not murder. Kill is a different term.
Allan, you are correct.
It is not only the Decalogue one must consider. There are numerous passages where penalties are spelled out for murder and cases where an action is distinctively labeled as murder vs killing. (David didn’t murder Goliath. He killed him to remove a threat to life.)
The justices were wrong on Dredd Scott and they are wrong if they tossed the decision to Congress.
Killing the helpless and vulnerable would lead to a most evil society, quite apart from the Bible. Factions would seek to eliminate their opposition. Such a perspective can easily make ethnicm cleansing look restrained.
Roe v Wade wasn’t about abortions per se…it had to do with the States right to oppose the abortion…The Supreme Court, by a slim majority 5 to 4 decided that each individual state DID NOT have the right to decide, and thus abortion on demand was implemented and established National Law…when the old bitch RBG dies The SC will undoubtedly repeal (not sure that’s correct legal term)Roe V Wade…
I do not as a taxpayer want the Dems or any politicians to finance murdering unborn babies with my tax money. All Americans need a voice in this , not just Dems making this very important procedure. I do not know how Pelosi can support this being she is a catholic. Well one day she will meet her maker and she will have to make amends.
She claims to be a Catholic but she is fallen away, if she pushes this forward she will be guilty of apostasy.
She’s NOT a Catholic…sh3s a turnkey robot who will do say and act anyway that will give her power…You have to have a conscious and a soul and she sold the latter to Satan a long long time ago…!!!
Don’t blame the demonic democrats for this. Blame the gutless and gullible who play “lovie dovie” and “huggy kissy” with evil all in a pampering process of “loving one’s enemies” when the duty of the good is to make evil fear good. Christianity and Cowardice have become one in the same except when conflagrations erupt and the same “walk over” Christians are forced to fight in WARS. Gutless and Gullible Christianity is a primary cause for the expansion of evil. Christians may as well wear signs on their backs and carry placards in public saying: “I’m a Christian. Please I beseech you to persecute me so I can prove how much I love you. And please don’t forget my family members until there are no more Christians to persecute.”
this is when a Presidential veto demonstrates the wisdom of the Founding Fathers for making it a cornerstone of our Constitution (separation of powers).
