Well, I guess they must be fraudulent then.
Not enough American babies are being murdered! Right Barry?! Got to keep the old Planned “Parenthood” Meat Packing Co. doors open!
“We have routinely opposed the inclusion of ideologically driven riders” in budget bills, Earnest added.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to tax and spend for anything like Planned Parenthood. This is evidence by a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices who had clarified that that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue which Congress cannot justify under its constitutional, Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
But since low-information patriots have failed, even after three election cycles, to elect a constitutionally required 2/3 majority in both Houses of Congress to override presidential vetoes (1.7.2), Obama can get away with vetoing the bill to defund Planned Parenthood.
Also also note that such funding is available in the first place because the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate did not do its job to protect the states, as the Founding States had established it to do, by killing the unconstitutional House appropriations bills that provided funding for vote-winning but unconstitutional Planned Parenthood.
What a mess! :^(
The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators along with it.
The legality is not really the main issue here. Regardless whether there is a law in place (apparently there are no actual laws against selling baby parts), there is still right and wrong. The actors are morally reprehensible. There used to be a notion in this country of what is wrong. It's sick.
If Congress fails to defund Planned Parenthood for killing aborted babies and selling their body parts, there’s no reason Planned Parenthood wouldn’t feel emboldened to take the next step and begin killing actual babies, and on and on.
They would have nothing to fear from Congress.
Where will this end? Someone should ask Obama: ‘’Is there any heinous, bloody atrocity that Planned Parenthood could commit that would cause you to withhold funds from it?’’
This is, I think, agenda 21 undercover. Less humans and more predators are the hot topic for liberals this week.
Both of which they desire and both fit agenda 21 fairly well.
GOOD, veto it, shut the accursed government down. It does nothing but harm when it’s in session.
