Good show. It took Wilberforce many tries over many years to end slavery in the UK; we just need to hold the moral high ground and keep hammering away like this until the opposition breaks. God willing it will sooner than later.

The House should pass bills that conservatives have been seeking for years.

That way, democrats in conservative districts would be very vulnerable in the next election cycle when they vote against them.

These include English as the nation’s official language.

A photo identification required in order to vote in elections.

Pulling all taxpayer funding of abortions.

That businesses can build factories in any state they choose without any interference from the federal government.

That health insurance could be purchased across state lines thereby fostering competition and driving prices down.

Eliminating the death tax.

Simplifying the tax code by adopting the fair tax.

Eliminating the Department of education and reverting that power to the individual states.

Cutting the corporate and payroll taxes.

Allowing states to determine if they wish to drill for oil, natural gas, etc. and taking that power away from the federal government (also eliminating the Department of Energy and the EPA).

A balanced budget amendment.

These should all be clean bills with no add ons.

Let the democrats vote against them.

If it dies in the Senate, or Zero vetoes it ... so be it.

They will be on record, in no uncertain terms, as being PRO-DEATH.

How many pro-life Democrats voted for this legislation, too?

Obama’s “punished with a child” should be repeated and repeated. It should be a bumper sticker.

Trouble is, we have to get it past the abortion-happy Senate. Ain’t gonna happen!

Of course! Otherwise, GOP would not have passed it. GOP had control of both houses of Congress and the Presidency, but they did not outlaw abortion or even pass a bill banning federal funding of abortion.

I wouldn’t want to be punished with the Obamas as grandparents.

Symbolic.

They could have included it in the continuing resolution.

Pro-lifers are being played by the Republicans.

Good news but the communists will reverse it and all abortion will be funded with your taxes. America is finished.
