“If they want to make a choice, that’s up to them and it’s with the advice of a doctor and loving parents and a loving family.”
(CNSNews.com) - In expressing opposition to the House Republicans' "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act," Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) said politicians should not interfere with his family’s health and well-being. He also had a message for the GOP, saying, “I won’t attempt to voice my views on your family and let my family alone. Don’t go near my daughters.”
“I’m experienced. I’m the proud father of three daughters, two more that my wife brought to our marriage, six granddaughters. My wife brought two more to the marriage. So we got a full house of healthy and well-being young women. I don’t want politicians making decisions for them when it comes to their health and well being,” said Lautenberg on Capitol Hill.
He was joined by other Democratic senators at a press conference held to "express their opposition to legislation being pushed by House Republicans this week that would endanger women's health by severely limiting their access to affordable health care and reproductive health services."
Lautenberg continued, “I call on my colleagues in the House. Do as you wish with your family. Tell your daughters, tell your wife, you do that. That’s the wonderful part about America. It’s choice. It’s choice and there should be no force used here but don’t interfere with my family’s well being.”
“I won’t attempt to voice my views on your family and let my family alone," he said. "Don’t go near my daughters. If they want to make a choice, that’s up to them and it’s with the advice of a doctor and loving parents and a loving family. So we’ve got to strike down this outrageous assault on women's rights."
The focus of the Democrats’ criticism is the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act,” sponsored by Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.). The legislation would prohibit “the expenditure of funds authorized or appropriated by federal law or funds in any trust fund to which funds are authorized or appropriated by federal law (federal funds) for any abortion. Prohibits federal funds from being used for any health benefits coverage that includes coverage of abortion.” It would also re-install a ban on D.C. abortion funding.
Lautenberg, who appeared with Sens. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Al Franken (D-Minn.) at the press conference, also said the GOP’s efforts to limit access to abortion services reminds him of a Third World country.
“If they had their way, the reproductive rights of American women would be tossed away and it sounds to me like a Third World country that’s requiring women to wear head shawls to cover their faces even if they don’t want to do it," said Lautenberg. "This is America. It’s not one of the third world countries that we see these tragic decisions hoisted upon the women."
The Inca culture sacrificed children in a ritual called capacocha.
Scientists have found that ancient Mexican and Mayan civilisations sacrificed children.
Sen. Lautenberg, Sens. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Al Franken (D-Minn.). -- Great Philosophers.
All of these distinguished thinkers are well aware that the 'great civilizations' of the world practiced the sacrificial offering of children to the great spirit or to evil spirits, or to the ju ju bird or whatever was de rigueur to the current zeitgeist of the time.
If we want our economy to improve we must sacrifice too! Congress could make doctors wear the traditional Aztec Jawillabilla while they dismember the fetus and scatter its parts.
“If they want to shred their unborn babies, Im ok with that. It’s loving.”——why not just say that-—oh, you pretty much did.
“Pro choice” - phooey! Only choice is for the mother. The baby simply gets killed. The baby has no choice.
Lautenberg is in his mid-eighties. Does he have any doaughters under 50?
Senator Lautenberg, don’t go near my daughters and force them to pay for somebody’s abortion. Don’t go near my women folk and steal more of their money to fund your pet projects. Give them and me the choice.
I will be happy to let Mr Lautenberg’s loving family support his daughters’ aborting his grandchidren
If he will keep his hands out of my wallet to pay for it
From a Pro-Life Republican to Lautenberg: “Don’t expect to use my tax dollars to pay for your daughter’s abortions.”

what a hypocritical ba$stard. you'll shove ObiCare down our throats and then pull this holier than thou BS? F
“I don’t want politicians making decisions for them when it comes to their health and well being,”
I love the hypocrisy! This dipshiite doesn’t want the government telling his daughters how they should care for their health, yet he votes to FORCE medical coverage on the rest of us AND make us pay for procedures for others that we oppose.
Do we need any more examples of D.C. elites imposing laws on the minions while exempting themselves?
Is that so? What was/is his position on ObamaCare? What has the good Senator said about other FedGov overreaches?
Or is it, like the rest of his ilk, that abortion, homosexuality, and blasphemy trumps everything else.
The term “reproductive rights” is so misleading.
It really should be stated otherwise, i.e. “option to abort”
And another thing, it is not a “right”
From my understanding of the leftist mindset,
if “the government” doesn’t pay for it,
you’re “restricting the freedom” of those who can’t afford it.
I know, it’s totally upside down and inside out,
but what do you expect from people whose worldview is premised on Luciferian lies?
While I am totally pro life, I could make an exception when it comes to Lautenberg and his clan. Abort away; thin the gene pool.
Frank Lautenberg cheated to get on the ballot, so who cares what he thinks. He is a cheater.
Lautenberg actually has daughters under 50. I looked it up yesterday and if I recall correctly the daughters are now aged 47, 52, and 56.
Lautenberg is 87 years old.
“I have learned of the total disconnect of their thought process. “
If you think about it is part of the hate diseae that has infected the World.
The pro-aborts are not unlike the Islamofascist.
They hate the unborn just as much as the Muslims hate “infiedels”.
Frank, your daughters are way to old to cut the mustard and are irrelevant
Does anybody care what Senator Al Z. Heimer (D-NJ) thinks or says?
