Key Democrats came out against legislation (H.R. 3 and H.R. 358) sponsored by Representatives Chris Smith (R-N.J.) and Joe Pitts (R-Pa.) that would block the use of federal money to pay for abortions and would protect health care providers who are morally opposed to abortion from being forced to provide it.
Speaking at a press conference to announce opposition to the legislation, Representative Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) vowed her “implacable resistance to any attempt to place limits on abortion. Women must not be denied this fundamental right because of their inability to pay for it out of their own pocket.”
DeGette rejected the suggestion that pro-choice proponents establish a fund to cover the costs of those unable to pay, stating that “it is unfair to compel a portion of the population to bear the whole burden of our collective responsibility to assist the less fortunate. A person should not have to rely on charity to secure her rights.”
Representative Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) also attacked the bills. “We are a pro-choice country,” he declared. “Women have a Constitutional right to abortion. Impeding this right in any way is a virtual a declaration of war against women. In this war I stand with women and against those who would subjugate them.”
Weiner adamantly assailed “the idea that health care providers should be permitted to insert their own moral values into the equation. If the law declares that medical practitioners must provide pregnancy termination services as a condition of licensing then no nonconforming scruples can be allowed to interfere.”
In related news, Weiner rejected the suggestion that due to a shortage of a drug used in executions the condemned be dispatched by having a scissors jammed into the back of their necks as “cruel and unusual” and, therefore, “unconstitutional.” While few would dispute that such a procedure is cruel, it is not that unusual. Thousands of unborn humans have been terminated by such means without the due process of a prior finding of guilt by a judge or jury.

The government is going bankrupt, and they are using my tax dollars to pay for abortions. These people should be locked up.

Sucks to be in the minority, eh Rats?
If they want to kill babies, let them pay extra tax for it. The rest of us want no part of it. What’s so difficult about it? Can’t these mini-hitlers let up for one minute?
I see you are jerking people’s chains again, John. Unfortunately this is representative of the majority of those who are part and parcel of the “demonrat party of death.”
Federally funded abortion - the other death tax.
This TRUTH makes me weep and causes my heart to ache intensely.
Thanks for the ping John.
Dear God in Heaven please make this stop!
Of course they oppose blocking abortions.
Their morals of their constituency is such that they need to be able to keep having abortions, since they aren’t smart enough or moral enough to close their legs.
Weiner believes that if a Doctor has scruples against murder he is forced by law to commit murder in the form of abortion.
What an a—hole.
Fundamental right to kill?? We all know there is no such right except in self defense.
It bothers me that these fools think it proper to take money I earned and use it for abortions.
Can’t say how i’ d like to whip em.
Darn it John....You got me...But where’s the satire??
Had I not been on John's ping list, I might not have noticed that this was satire until the last paragraph.
Another on one of the toughest of subjects John, and you hit the mark. I would call it sad-ire rather than satire as it’s so lump-in-throat sad.
Thanks for the ping.
If I didn't know better, I'd guess they were plucked from the Bolshevik revolution and 'time planted' into the U.S. Their rabid socialism knows no bounds, trust me.
Once Hating America (TM) becomes uncool (and it'll be a while with this President) socialist tools such as this will be thrown to the curb. 'Till then, we've only to endure them, unfortunately.
Like most contests there are two choices available. Love America or hate it. Our media cheers on the 'haters' with glee. Our populace must find reasons not obvious at first to support America. If the growth of the State were not obvious enough, if the money spent to support it's mission, even in deficit were not enough, then it's intrusion into everyone's lives should suffice. But, will it?

You spun that one around real hard, and so deserving.
I just don’t get that acceptance of abortive violence against nascent human life. It’s extremely disheartening.
Not just a bunch of nibbles this time...but a bunch of bites to the point where you’ve reeled them in! lol
Good job!
You da’ man...;o)
