Van Susteren asks Sen. Hatch: "You think that they're trying to slip" federal funding for abortion into the health care bill?

bintx,
That's all they have left, so I guess they figure they'll use what they have. It grieves and angers me at the same time that so many members of Congress call themselves Christians and lie as much as they do. They are ignoring the fact that according to Scripture, they'll be held accountable for these lies they tell so glibly.

Orrin Hatch..You should be ashamed of yourself. You are not a true LDS member. You are a liar. READ THIS:

(3) PROHIBITION OF USE OF PUBLIC FUNDS FOR ABORTIO

Um, thumbs downer, please refer to the Hyde Amendment. They aren't trying to put federal funding for abortion in the bill because they can't. It's illegal. Fox is lying.

Van Susteren.....another protitute for Ailes.

I know. If you didnt know any better, you would think that senators get something out of promoting abortions. Its not about increasing the number of abortions. Its about having access to it if it is absolutely necessary to have one.

That's as misleading as "pro-life". They're not pro-life, they're pro-birth. All they care about is telling a woman what she can or cannor do with her body and trying to deny a legal medical procedure. After they force a woman to give birth, they could care less about the child. Ever notice anytime cuts in spending have to be made, especially when a republican is control, the first things they cut are programs designed to help the poor and less fortunate improve their lives? Their towering hypocrisy about calling themselves "pro-life" is only matched by their towering callousness towards life after birth.

I like tacos!To make so much noise and say so little is is beyond ken(or Barbie).
