Nancy Pelosi has a message for you: Republicans want to kill women. Yes, there it is, another fine example of the Democrat “new tone.”
All one can say to that is, “Nancy, you ignorant slut.” (If you’ll excuse my channeling an SNL era Dan Aykroyd?)
What’s all her hypocritical fury being directed at? The Protect Life Act that passed the House 251-172 on Thursday.
The Protect Life Act won’t likely get past the Senate and even if it did everyone expects our pro-infanticide president to veto it, but it brought the viper out in Pelosi nonetheless.
As LifeNews reports:
H.R. 358, Protect Life Act, makes it clear that no funds authorized or appropriated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), including tax credits and cost-sharing reductions, may be used to pay for abortion or abortion coverage. It specifies that individual people or state or local governments must purchase a separate elective abortion rider or insurance coverage that includes elective abortion but only as long as that is done with private funds and not monies authorized by Obamacare.
The Democrats, you see, want to pay to kill babies and they want to use your tax dollars to do so. In her typically Democrat way, Nancy Pelosi, the Hypocritical, profane, ignorant, woman so full of hate that she is, has given us a perfect example of such.
The fight in DC, though isn’t the only place this abortion struggle going on. The states have increasingly taken to this fight. And we can thank Obamacare for it.
Sarah Kliff has a great piece in the Washington Post that details how many states have come out of a do-nothing attitude about abortion and have risen take on abortions in their states.
Fearing that Obama’s wild desire to kill as many babies as possible and knowing of his desire to get around the truce that has been seen in Congress since the 1970s, quite a few states have, in a myriad of ways, implemented new laws that would officially ban government money from going to abortions.
The truce I mentioned in Congress was, of course, the well-known Hyde Amendment. Up until this most radical of presidents took office, the Hyde Amendment was a bit of language tacked onto every spending bill that would prevent abortion from being paid for by federal money. The truce part comes in where Congress makes no further laws outlawing abortion. As long as no money went to abortion, Republicans were happy, and as long as no further bans on abortion itself occurred the Democrats were happy.
But now we have a president bound and determined to push abortion on the nation and this activist president has upset the truce by allow that his Obamacare law will pay for abortions with government cash.
With this in mind and with the great wave of GOP controlled state governments having risen via the 2010 midterm elections, state after state has taken up the cause against abortion outlawing state money going to pay for them in various ways.
So, if abortion advocates are upset at this new development, they really can thank Barack Obama for finding themselves on the losing end of this tend.
