Add abortion to the list of hot-button social issues that could derail a sweeping budget blueprint for the nation's military.
An amendment from Sen. Roland Burris, D-Ill., to end a longstanding ban on abortions at U.S. military hospitals overseas is attached to the defense authorization bill set to come up for a vote in the Senate.
The move has been widely opposed by social conservatives and only further complicates the debate over the defense spending package. Senate Democrats already have drawn the ire of Republicans by trying to add to the bill measures to repeal the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy banning gays from serving openly in the military and provide young illegal immigrants who attend college or join the military a pathway to citizenship.

Wait... I thought in the Pelosi house we didn’t need to pass budgets anymore...?
yes.
I believe we are counting the days of the Pelosi lead house (at least I hope so!)
You would not believe what they do now. They actually send the females back to the states to have abortions. They get time off for recovery time too. It actually costs a fortune. It is a shame that abortions are even legal. I wish Sarah would say that her number one issue would be to ban ALL abortions. She would get my vote so fast and many other people too.
Yes, the abortions are really terrible BUT its the liberals who set the stage for it. It makes NO sense to have women in such close proximity to male soldiers esp in battle zones, on ships and subs. Its complete foolishness. What did they think would happen? Its a distraction, limits the military’s readiness and is a waste of $. Yet the women’s ‘equality’ types pushed and pushed. Now we’re to this point and its looks like an almost complete bust.
It’s because Obama thinks that the Democratic citizens won’t vote unless Congress tries to push amnesty and homosexual rights. The Democrats have 5 items in their platform and they’ve only voted on two so far, so their voters are disappointed.
Also Harry Reid figures the amnesty vote will help him get reelected.
This idiot isn't smart enough to cash the damned checks for another couple of months and keep his pie hole shut.
this is one of the reasons that many of the females who love the military hate this ban. because all the $#itbag females can dodge deployments because they get knocked up.... and there are a surplus of guys they can find to be semen donors for their rear-det deployment. Most of them have the U.S Post Docs go through with an abortion once they can’t get deployed anyway or just go to the nearest Planned Parenthood and pay out of pocket. I think an end to this ban would be a good short term fix for all the “female” problems we have in the military.
Uh, quite the opposite. I’m not paying for abortions, and I really resent folks saying that it’s a ‘solution’ for anything.
Agreed.
Using the term “Solution” in connection with prenatal infanticide (”Abortion”) sounds a lot like Hitler and Islam’s “Final Solution” for their “Jewish problem”.
I don’t think that’s a coincidence, BTW.
How much of a problem would it be for children of active Service Members, even if they were illegitimate, to be adopted out?
Why are so many American adoptive Parents having to go to China and Africa etc. for their children?
If Sen. Reid’s bloodsucker Amnesty bill stays stuck on to the Defense Budget, foreign females can join up, keep cranking out bastards one after another so they never have to serve one hour in harm’s way, and then upon discharge get their Citizenship complete with free abortions if she chooses, and if she decides to keep the spawn, a nice fat welfare check for life along with Veteran’s benefits.
That’s a very probable Demoncrat vote for life.
How many foreign Muslim women will start signing up if that goes through, I wonder? Never have to shoot at a “Brother”, collect a paycheck, get citizenship, the GI bill, and breed for Jihad all at the same time - at the “Infidel’s” expense.
Such a deal!
Yes, in hopes that they can run ads against their Republican opponents claiming that their opponents don't REALLY support the military, because they voted against the legislation that would fund them. Easily refuted, of course, and that's why this is so stupid.
Actually, the Repubs. running for office should get out in front of this and explain how the Dems are cynically trying to use the troops to pass more of their liberal agenda.
Does anyone have any idea how often pregancy and sex scandals go on in the military? I hope it’s not really hampering our efforts overseas with who knows what goes on out there.
What’s an ein Endloslung?
Hitler and the Nazis literally both encouraged both abortion and infanticide in their version of prejudice against the slavic people. They knew that abortion reduced a woman’s ability to have additional children, much less her life, but encouraged women of Yugoslavia to get abortions as their prescribed version of genocide. Hitler advocated and had orders to get abortions done on some selected groups of people he hated or deemed inferior, this is in no way compared to the outright treatment of the Jews, but Hitler did advocate abortion and presented it to the poles and residents of Yugoslavia, as a means for these peoples to die out from a loss of fertility, if one were to look at Hitler’s statements on the poles, and the statements of Planned Parenthood, the two are incredibly similar.
The time of possession is 100 years for them vs 0 years for us.
The left knows how to use a sacrificial lamb. They have a stack of 100 million corpses to prove it. What's one or two Senators per generation?
If conservatives used the same tactics, we'd use a retiring Senator to put in an amendment to ban women from the military other than medical positions. It would probably lose but it moves the argument towards our side. The left is always moving the argument towards their side. Introduce the radical, settle for the liberal. Over and over and over until what was radical just a generation ago is untouchable now.
We always underestimate the left. They're evil, but not stupid. Stupid doesn't take the country from Leave it to Beaver to homosexual unions in a generation.
It’s a German word ... it’s usually translated as “a final solution” ...
