Tomorrow morning the president’s health care rationing bill may be facing its own death panel. But for today at least, Democrat leaders claim that they are just days away from enacting this monstrosity. If the Senate bill is about to come for a vote in the House – as some suggest – ‘pro-Life Democrats’ will have to explain their vote for a bill that Barbara Boxer says provides government coverage for abortions:
Boxer, who has received a 100% approval rating from groups like NARAL and Planned Parenthood year after year since her election to the Senate in 1992, had been a featured speaker at an abortion-rights rally in Washington, D.C., just weeks before she became involved in the ‘abortion compromise.” Following her decision to agree to the Nelson language, groups like the National Organization for Women, the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus and the National Institute for Reproductive Health issued blistering criticism of the senator. National Institute for Reproductive Health president Kelli Conlin said the Senate bill “has sold out women” and described its as “”unconscionable.”
But not to worry, Boxer told McClatchy News Service. Boxer, reported McClatchy, “said it’s only an ‘accounting procedure’ that will do nothing to restrict [abortion] coverage.”
Which is more believable: that Ben Nelson sold out his pro-life supporters, or that Barbara Boxer sold out her pro-choice supporters? The answer is obvious. The ‘pro-life’ compromise to which Nelson agreed, and which some Democrats want to muscle through the House of Representatives, is a sham. Democrats Bart Stupak and Steve Driehaus have made clear that they won’t vote for it. Will they be joined by other Democrats who are loathe to lose the pro-life label when they face re-election?

This is the same MO as with coverage for illegal immigrants.
jeffreywturner (Diary) Tuesday, January 19th at 3:07PM EST (link)Same trick, different audience:
President Obama – “The plan does not cover people here illegally”
Wink & nod at La Raza – “Don’t worry, all the illegals will still be covered, we just had to put some toothless language in the bill to trick Middle-America into believing otherwise.”
“Life is too short, can’t we all just eat pork and kill some terrorists?”

10ksnooker (Diary) Tuesday, January 19th at 4:30PM EST (link)The whole argument of the ‘woman’s right to choose’ was nothing more than eugenics with a sly happy face. And the final conclusion of eugenics was the gas chambers in Hitler’s Germany.
Just another tool as Justice Ginzberg once said, to weed out the undesirables.
And I ask, define undesirable … The cheapest trick in the political play book is to ascribe a right to some group, and then say you are protecting that right from attacks.
eugenics with a sly happy face
voxoreason Wednesday, January 20th at 1:08PM EST (link)Margaret Sanger, basically the founder of Planned Parenthood back during the Progressive Era in the early 20th century, was quite clear that she intended for abortions to eliminate or at least reduce “undesirable” demographics, eg, blacks, babies with birth defects, etc. Yeah, Hitler clearly shared some opinions with Sanger.
Last I read, abortion eliminates half of black babies… while 98% of blacks think Obama is doing a swell job.
Democrats facilitate this “thinning of the herd,” while the herd seems to have no objection.
What is one to make of this? Nothing to see here; move along?
Personally, I hope that everyone will be happy and successful as I don’t fear being mugged and robbed by a happy, successful person.
Still crazy after all these years...
phototiger Tuesday, January 19th at 5:42PM EST (link)Barbara Boxer has to be the dimmest bulb in the Senate.
That's a pretty bold statement
Ivan Yurkenov Tuesday, January 19th at 8:41PM EST (link)Tiger, I am no wuss when it comes to going out on a limb with a projection or opinion, but I haven’t cajones large enough to choose the dimmest bulb in the Senate. It is such a tight race among the finalists,

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill – English economist & philosopher (1806 – 1873)

olddog Wednesday, January 20th at 3:09PM EST (link)the Maine twins could qualify? or, is that only pointing out ,that many in Congress just don’t care, that they don’t protect and defend as the oath requires. I believe there are many contenders for the dim bulb award, in that once venerable organization. Their first duty is to protect and defend the constitution, their second is to represent us. They are doing neither, and if some really sharp legal organization could or would, bring them to justice for treasonable acts. but only Congress can decide who is! What can the people do, when most of them appear to be committing acts of treason, or are possibly complicit by participating or remaining silent. Our best hope is, three election cycles to clean them all out. No more Dynasties, in D.C. its bad for the country., and really bad for the people, because we have to live with the consequences for what they do , they exempt themselves from what they impose on us.

MICHAELNLA (Diary) Wednesday, January 20th at 9:19AM EST (link)Boxer has to be one of the most despicable people in the U.S. Senate!
Hopefully CA can find SOMEONE who can “Knockout Boxer!” come November.
Boxer Knockout is Chuck DeVore
mosander Wednesday, January 20th at 10:29AM EST (link)Great guy. This has got to be the one! Conservative all the way. I was so impressed I contributed already. Google him and look for his one minute video. It is awesome. I even got a phone call from his finance guy (and I didn’t contribute all that much). Anyway, he is in a primary with others. Support this guy!

saxman7 Wednesday, January 20th at 12:54PM EST (link)Abortion is nothing more than controlled genocide promoted by the Global Elite to thin out their herd of servants.
There is nothing more “Classist” than abortion.
There is nothing more “Racist” than promoting a welfare state where minorities are allowed to wallow in laziness and have everything handed to them that someone else earned.
We are taking over the Republican Party and the minions of the Global Elitists better step aside if they know what is good for them.
Boxer should worry about what she is going to do once the title that she is so proud of is taken away and she is abandoned by her “owners” because she is no longer of any value to them.
The Founding Fathers were so intelligent and so in tune to human nature and the warnings of God in scripture that they designed this nation to be a nation run of, by and for the People.
They either let us get back to the Constitution thru the system or we will get back to the Constitution thru the 2nd Amendment.
Progressive minions of the Global Elite should realize that they have been given notice and their days are numbered. The numbers do not go very high.
