"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better." ~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006 (it was so nice of him to give us this great quote for posterity!)
here you go the original bill
Planned Parenthood is America’s largest abortion provider – performing 392 abortions for every individual adoption referral it makes – and does not provide comprehensive, whole woman’s health care, including mammograms. They are in the business of Abortion so everything they do points in that direction.
Answer: the truth is that your uncomfortable with a black president. He's just a jive shucker anyway!
This is from Planned Parenthood's site: "Abortions are available at many Planned Parenthood health centers, clinics, and the offices of private health care providers". So, apparently they DO perform abortions. But they DO NOT perform mammograms. So, maybe you should check your facts before letting those names fly.
If you can get through the actual truth about abortion and see that it's a choice your heart is hard dude.
yes we do. Go Pro-Life Bill.
if there were such a law then there would be far fewer Democrats for me to worry about. And those who were left would be "partless". Or more "partless" than they admit to being now.
I think you are confused on what breast screenings are that Planned Parenthood offers. They perform exams. Then they may refer or assist in referrals to other places for mammograms, which are x-rays, to be performed. Check their website and ask your relative. Doing an exam, a screening, is not the same as a mammogram.
Now, since you seem to want to steer this into a pro-choice debate, Dan, I'm telling you, no sane pro-choice person after watching a real abortion, on abort73.com for example, can keep their stance. It takes that kind of effort to find and see the truth to make a good decision on the subject. The dismemberment and slow death of an infant inside the womb, that happens 350,000+ times a year at planned parenthood. Again, in this age you can watch exactly what happens, you cannot argue it after you watch it. Great, I'm glad PP assists with women's health, outside the scope of abortion. Look, I will own up to the fact that I'm Christian but I'm not Catholic. Did any of us bring up God at all...? My holy beliefs are from my heart and mind, they wouldn't serve much of a purpose up my A ;) Get angry with what you have been told and led to believe, not us for simply correcting the information you have with the truth.
remember what mitt romney said in the first debate when i mentioned teenagers who kept telling lies hoping that if they would repeat the lie often enough then people would buy it?
