BREAKING: Congress votes against ban on U.S. military funding of ‘sex change’ surgeries
LifeSite ^ | 07/13/2017 | Peter LaBarabera

Update 8:20PM EST: This evening the House of Representatives voted 209 to 214 to defeat the amendment denying the Pentagon funds for "sex change" surgeries.

Sarah McBride, spokesperson for the LGBT lobby group Human Rights Campaign, reported, "If only three Members of Congress had voted yes instead [i.e., FOR the measure denying taxpayer funding to the Pentagon for transsexual "sex reassignment surgeries"], this dangerous and discriminatory anti-transgender amendment would have passed."

More than 20 Republicans joined the Democrats in voting to defeat the measure. Pro-life Catholic Illinois Democrat Rep. Dan Lipinski, who is pro-life, also voted on the side of the LGBT lobby to defeat the amendment.

July 13, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — Missouri Republican Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler’s amendment to deny the Pentagon taxpayer funds for transsexual “sex reassignment surgeries” has advanced for consideration to the full House of Representatives.

Hartzler’s amendment to the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) follows another that she withdrew last week targeting the Obama-imposed policy allowing gender-confused “transgender” individuals to serve openly in the U.S. military.

The new amendment “would make it so ‘funds available to the Department of Defense may not be used to provide medical treatment (other than mental health treatment) related to gender transition to a person entitled to medical care,’” The Hill reported.

It isn’t the GOP - it is the GLOBALIST RINOS who are the stumbling block. We need primaries! Actual Republicans are doing their jobs - we just don’t have enough of them!

If they can pay for this, where does it end? Botox, tummy tucks, electrolysis?

They wouldn’t even cover my dads hearing aids when he was alive.

7)RINO Carlos Curbelo of Florida, shillery seat
8)Jeff Denham, CA, Shillery seat
9)RINO Charlie Dent of PA, Trump seat
10)NY Freshman John Faso. :( Trump seat, I thought we were getting an improvement in this district
11)Brian Fitzpatrick of PA, was a near tie in POTUS voting, closest in nation, in 2012 too.
12)Darrell Issa, CA, for shame

There is a special, more economical, phase-based medical instrument available to be used for any ISIS captives who request that sensitive, transitional surgical procedure (in other words, all of them), and for the 24 Republicans who voted with the democrats against the ban, and for former US Representative Anthony Weiner, and for James Comey, and for Paul Ryan, and for Mitch McConnell, and for Chuck Schumer, and for...

      

(That instrument is called the fractionating filibuster...)

>>.. in the United States, the government is having the military spend our tax money on cutting off the penises of our male soldiers ?<<

It will create more Democrats voters. The dead will rise in protest as this diminishes their influence.

When I get the call from the GOP fundraiser, I read them a list of reasons why I would only donate to an individual, not the GOP. Here’s another one for my list. It takes about 3 long minutes to read the list to them, most hang up before I’m done because I will not be interrupted.

Modern day White Knights not only “rescue” the fair maidens, they rescue the foul/fake ones. Using other people’s money on top of it. No wonder alternatives to conservatism are growing. What exactly has been conserved by those in power that use that name.

Faso and Stefanik! Puke!

The gay lobby is very powerful. Mostly single, with lots of money and time to be politically active and lots of desire to be considered admirable. The constituents of these two are relentless with their pressure.

This is the end for me, with both of these traitors.

Does existing military medical pay for boob jobs for flat-chested females?? This is in the same category...elective and cosmetic. Should not be allowed.

Well! There you go...Republicans acting like Republicans.

Any wonder why they don’t even consider representing the voters who put them there. Graft, corruption and self-enrichment are the “low hanging fruit” for them.

IT’S ALL ABOUT ME is the cry of 75% of them. They call themselves “representatives” but the only one they represent is themselves.

Unless we completely “drain the swamp” all hope is lost.
