WASHINGTON -- Democratic leaders in the House are nearly certain to drop federal funding for new contraceptive services and on-going programs to stop sexually transmitted diseases from the $825 billion economic stimulus bill due to hit the floor Tuesday, a senior official told FOX News. (snip)
The contraceptive funding is an effort to expand federal efforts to prevent unwanted births. Currently, Medicaid provides family planning services after women become pregnant. This move would focus all federal funds on contraceptives to prevent unwanted pregnancies, not the other family planning services Medicaid provides.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended the policy initiative Sunday on ABC's "This Week." (snip)
Despite Pelosi's argument, Democrats and the Obama White House appear eager to deprive Republicans of what's become a key attack line against the stimulus bill.
After Friday's White House meeting with the president, House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio asked, "How can you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on contraceptives? How does that stimulate the economy?"

With the current makeup of Congress, there is almost a certainty that there will be federally funded abortions available to all before this session of congress is over.
Don’t get too happy, they will just reinsert it somewhere else down the line with a less controversial issue.
We won’t know about it until it is done.
“unwanted births”
Yeah, you mean unwanted AMERICANS.
We are a bunch of suckers...
You’re right, they certainly will. But at least this opens the door of picking this out of future bills too under the precedent of it already being axed once. They’re big on ‘settled law’, right? We must stay vigilent.
Fear not, a page or 2 will be slipped in before 0 signs the final version to allow taxpayer funded infanticide.
I didn’t mean to rain on the parade, but I don’t trust these people.
Ever wonder why some bills are never published on The Net until after the first of either house votes on it?
Comrade Pelosi will be visiting the mother who gave birth to
eight babies in CA. to say.......
“It was placed intentionally and they full expected to shed this portion to deflect attention from the crown jewel of the bail out...”
************************
You may well be right. They are a devious, amoral bunch.
Ms. Pelosi is not taking into consideration how much people spend on their kids.
And how those kids also spend their own allowance money when they’re older.
And how many people are employed at daycare centers and schools.
And how many nurses and doctors are employed taking care of pregnant women and children.
And how we need more kids to help us with social security.
One sick b&*ch.
And well you shouldn’t!....they are not trustworthy.
A pitance, we Oppose the Bailout on Principle..Keept it up freepers WE MUST ATTEMPT to STOP this C R A P!
Cockroaches always scatter when the light is turned on.....
I was getting ready to post the same thing.
It was too obvious. Now the RATs have given the pubbies some sense of a victory for their constituents...and the rest of the garbage will go through.
Nancy gets a Blue Dog bite.
Also any Bishop who allows Pelosi to receive Communion in his area should be met with protest. Pelosi just by introducing the BC stuff should be perpetually met with resistance from the Church.
