The "A" Word


Abortion.
Like, "No Abortion" in the health reform bill.
Like, it's not really a baby anyhow.
The Senate, first.......the Democrats in the Senate (minus a few dems) rejected an amendment by Senators Nelson (D-Nebraska) and Hatch (R-Utah) to ban abortion funding with tax-supported dollars.
I guess the senators bought Senator Barbara Boxer's (D-California) declaration that Viagra is equivalent to abortion--and that the senators wouldn't want to prevent men from getting this drug that "involves his (men's) reproductive health care."
Huh?
Besides, it's the morally right thing to do, according to Senator Dianne Feinsteing (D-California). When asked this question, she replied, “Is it morally correct? Yes, I believe it is. Abortion is legal, and there (are) certain very tragic circumstances that a woman finds herself in. Married, with an unborn baby that’s unable to survive outside of the womb, her doctor tells her it’s a threat to her health. I think she ought to have a policy available to her.”
Asked again, supposedly for a straighter answer, she replied affirmatively, stating taxpayers pay for all sorts of things that they don't agree with.
Except---the Hyde amendment (which covers Medicare) and the Nelson proposal do not force a women to bear a baby that results from rape or incest, or would threaten the mother's life. So there goes that argument.
And perhaps her second statement shows the need for a more truly representational government and a more limited government.
(I say this because over half the country opposes abortion on demand--so, if we had a Congress that listened to the people, ABORTION funded by taxpayers wouldn't even be a debate!)
Oh, and in case you're wondering...it's not a baby anyway. At least according to Planned Parenthood.
Live Action is visiting Planned Parenthood clinic to expose the pressure and manipulation that occurs when talking to women about abortion.
It's "a fetus....That is not a baby.”
And, it's not "heart beats", it's heart "tones".
Three of a kind??
