Thanks, I made a stupid error, and didn’t notice until reading your question.

No Republicans voted for ObmaCare.

What NRTL did do was this:

National Right to Life favored the Stupak Amendment, and insisted that Republicans vote for it. Further, they threatened any Republican who didn’t vote for it with their active opposition to that Republican during the 2010 fall election.

The Republicans caved, even those who could see the eventual outcome, right down to the last man. One hundred percent voted for the Stupak Amendment, along with a bunch of Dems who were opposed to abortions. Stupak handily passed.

Nobody believed the Amendment would stick; eventually it would/will be overridden in some fashion and that Government funded abortion would become part of ObamaCare.

With a green light, the ’Pro-Life’ Dems could vote for ObamaCare, and although many hard-line Leftists were angry, enough of them also could see the end game, and agreed to vote pass ObamaCare.

A couple days later ObamaCare passed the House.

“We don’t want to finally solve the problem because then we would no longer have a reason to exist as a money sucking organization...”

They still want to keep sending out those mailers to to the old dumb baby boomers begging for money. And they sure as hell can;t keep doing that if they succeed in their goals.

Much like the unions, racial shakedown groups and the GOP.

[ It would do exactly what we want.
Put the Obama in the position of shutting government down absent funding a murderous organization selling human body parts without consent of the deceased or guardians. It’s HIS decision to shut down.

Any government insisting on funding this atrocity DESERVES shutdown. ]

Instead the spineless wonders in the GOP will continue to fund the government over the dissected bodies of dead parted out babies.

[ Fund everything except PP with the stipulation that once the Congressional investigation is done it can be funded again if needed......If Obama wants to shut down the government over .000001% of the budget before the investigation is completed....GO FOR IT BIG BOY!!! ]

The Republicans wouldn’t be shutting down the government if Obama was VETOing the budget, OBAMA would be SHUTTING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT!

My gawd, mithc the bitch and bohner the bawler are freeking stuipid.

The National Right To Life Committee’s only agenda is capturing as much funding as is humanly possible.

If Planned Parenthood was shut down and abortion-on-demand was outlawed, their reason for being would cease to exist.

What bureaucracy ever worked toward their own demise?

Well, if Planned Parenthood got de-funded, NRL will lose a key wedge issue to include in their fundraising letters and raise lots of money.

I would imagine they have a symbiotic relationship with PP and the corrupt politicians in DC. Cronies all.

Virtually all so called altruistic “awareness” organizations started out as altruistic until somebody ran the numbers on a national or even world scale and then the skimming starts.

Look at Komen http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/08/us-usa-healthcare-komen-research-idUSTRE8171KW20120208

(snip) The organization’s 2011 financial statement reports that 43 percent of donations were spent on education, 18 percent on fund-raising and administration, 15 percent on research awards and grants, 12 percent on screening and 5 percent on treatment. (snip)

And then this again . . http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/22/komen-still-sends-big-bucks-to-planned-parenthood-abortion-business/

Then some others https://www.charitywatch.org/articles-and-media/american-cancer-society/111

Like the GOP, they probably want the issue more than they want to end abortion.

It's what I've been saying all along, Pro-Life, Inc. DOES NOT want to end abortion. They want to keep it "safe and legal and rare" so they can keep raising money.

You are exactly right, and right to be incensed by my mistake.

Please see post #21.
