Speaker John A. Boehner will resign from Congress and give up his House seat at the end of October

The Republicans have been trying to strip Planned Parenthood funding for years. Planned Parenthood is an excellent program that helps inner city people like myself. After my high school years I wasn't making much money. Planned Parenthood was very necessary for me to obtain very low cost birth control. Because of this my son was born when I was 30. I got the chance to plan when I became a parent. Stripping federal funding from Planned Parenthood is going to result in more intercity youth and poor people having more unwanted pregnancies. These babies will have to be paid for. Now, the reason why The Lying Republicans want to restrict funding to Planned Parenthood is based upon a goddamn lie. Plain and simple. They know this Brian... They know they are lying... Obama knows they are lying... So when you say that you will not fund the rest of the government based upon something you know is a lie, it is you not funding the government. Not the president that is vetoing the bill that strips funding for poor people. He like I is simply tired of Republicans hammering on the poor. I applaud him for vetoing this bill. Had federal funding not been there for Planned Parenthood who knows if I would have been able to plan when I was a parent. Republicans are simply throwing red meat to their base.

 

We have 300+ million people in America. If everyone is paying their fair share on tax, all should be equally beneficial to the citizens. Uninsured is not all Americans.

 

Say what???? That is 100% fact! Do you even understand what GDP means? Do you understand Debt? What is Gish about it?

 

Tweeeet! Foul!

There's a whole lot of BS in this post, dviss1. First, Planned Parenthood's own numbers say that 3% of the procedures they do each year are abortions. That number, however, is deliberately misleading because patients typically receive more than one service. The fact checkers at the Washington Post said, "If the 327,653 abortion procedures were given to individual patients, patients who received abortions would account for 12 percent of total patients." link

As far as paying their own money goes, there's a lot of wiggle room in that discussion too. Federal dollars are specifically banned from paying for abortions, but one route that skirts that issue is a practice commonly referred to as “fragmentation.” One case in Iowa found that charges for services and products rendered in connection with abortions (office visits, ultrasounds, Rh factor tests, lab work, general counseling, and abortion aftercare) were submitted as separate “fragmented” charges as claims for Title XIX-Medicaid reimbursement..[link] Also, if federal funds help pay for the facility, equipment, and staff that perform the abortions, it's pretty hard to say with a straight face that federal money isn't supporting abortions.

As for the "baby part business" goes, the videos certainly would indicate that there should be some investigation of Planned Parenthood to determine if federal laws have been violated. Sure, the people doing the videos had an agenda and the videos themselves are "highly edited" (favorite Democratic mantra on this subject), but the full videos are there for anyone who cares to wade through them. The charges are likely overblown and limited to only a few individuals, but taxpayers have a right to know if there is corruption there that needs to be cleaned up. The "hear no evil, see no evil" approach of the Democrats on this subject is baloney.

I'm not in favor of pulling the plug on Planned Parenthood unless they refuse to be more open about what they're doing and how they do it. That doesn't seem to me to be too much to ask in return for half a billion dollars.

 

If an organization is doing something illegal, they damn well should be stripped of funding. There are plenty of other groups that can help those in need.

Furthermore, the investigation recommends that PP stop abortions until investigation is finished. It doesn't stop other groups that haven't broke the law to still give free abortions.

 

Have you ever gotten an abortion from Planned Parenthood? I may have been wrong about the 1% number. But when it comes to paying for it the people getting that have to pay. There are no such thing as free abortions.

 

Regardless, PP broke the law if they even sold 1 aborted baby part for profit. Do you support selling baby parts for profit?

 

The fact that the Tea Party took over the house has nothing to do with what the people wanted. Republican governors have gerrymandered the districts and you know this. Look up the Concord project and you will see exactly how the Tea Party took over the house. They were well funded. It was not a grassroots movement. They were well funded by smart people who made sure that they became precinct committee men. Those are the people who vote to choose who's going to be on the ballot. It was not the people speaking, it was a well-funded intelligent plan.

 

Don't ask me stupid ass questions like that. The videos are bullshit you're swallowing tea.

 

The bottom line in all of this is that Bohener had trouble as speaker controlling his house. Peter King was right when he said that the crazies are taking over. Bohener was not a puppet.

 

Use a little common sense. If late term abortions are banned what can be done with 20 week old baby parts? The baby is the size of a shrimp... Use your brain people... Stop swallowing the tea...

 

More like GERRYMANDERED INTO OFFICE!!!

 

We do? I take the common sense approach by saying that I may potentially choose to be a parent if I don't use a condom. What's your idea?

 

I don't need your Pass. Like I said do your homework and look up the Concord project.
