As I’ve mentioned before (and is stated in Congressman Pence’s interview with Bill O’Reilly), no matter where you stand on abortion, forcing taxpayers to fund it — especially when Planned Parenthood is not only profiting from the killing of the unborn, but aiding and abetting the sex-trafficking of underage girls and young women — is outrageous. $360 million is a staggering sum — and no matter how hard Planned Parenthood tries to spin it, Lila Rose and Live Action’s multitude of sting operation videos clearly demonstrate rampant abuse at all levels of this repugnant organization.
As long as we have to abide by the unconstitutionality of Roe v. Wade, I say let Planned Parenthood and other abortion clinics raise their own money and keep their bloody hands out of taxpayers’ wallets. Kudos to Rep. Pence for promoting this bill.
Abortion is a weird enough issue without it being funded by every American. I am F’ing so sick of moral issues being made amoral when funded by the collective, like it or not. Nobody should be forced to fund something that violates their deepest beliefs. *cringe*
I’ll bypass the moral outrage and just skip to the message. This is the time to confront ALL OF IT. This issue included. And to keep confronting all of it. In the past our side has subconsciously calculated how much push back we can get away with before the opposition’s push back was more effective. Which led to jelly legs and retreat. I am just inspired that we have an opportunity now with the web and the tea party to make our push back permanent, grounded and not just “righteous” but … not violating people…?? I have been thinking about golden rules a lot and they work. Conservatives stick to golden rules.
OK, done.. Keep it up guys!
And Mike Pence is way awesome too. Solid Guy!
Ron, thanks for your comments. I feel exactly the same way — it’s high time conservatives fought hard over this and so many other issues. We’ve been forced not only to abide by an unconstitutional law in Roe v. Wade (judicial activism at its worst), but to actually financially support the murder of innocents. And now to find out PP is aiding and abetting pimps and the sex trafficking of young girls and young women…it’s an outrage!
God bless Mike Pence for his efforts. I do believe this will pass the House…the RINO/Progressive Senate is another story. It will be very interesting to see how the likes of Lisa Murkowski, Scott Brown, Olympia Snowe, etc. vote. I am guessing none of us will be too happy. We shall see.
