Planned Parenthood not getting cut - 4/14/2011 4:59:02 PM

Status: offline 		The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution to bar all federal funding to Planned Parenthood on Thursday, but the Senate rejected the proposal a few hours later by a vote of 58 to 42. Five Republican senators -- Massachussetts' Scott Brown, Alaska's Lisa Murkowski, Illinois' Mark Kirk, and Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, both from Maine -- voted against the resolution, which was a “technical correction” to the budget bill that passed last week without the Planned Parenthood rider. Ten House Democrats voted in favor of the resolution, which passed the House by a vote of 241 to 185. “It’s clear that Republicans do not support family planning. It’s hard to understand, but it’s clear that they don’t, and have used debate on this bill to spread misinformation about the critical work that Planned Parenthood does on behalf of America’s women every day,” Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Cali.) said on the House floor. “Today’s legislation, which has no chance of passing the Senate and becoming law, thank God, is just part of the Republican agenda that is the most comprehensive and radical assault on women’s health and reproductive freedom in our lifetime, and that’s saying something.” Watch full video of Pelosi’s speech here:

She also told me that women who had abortions were added to the sinners' lists about 50 years later. But this was so widely ignored that it had to be re-stated by the Church many times before the message got through. I really don't know if other Christian denominations share the Catholic Church's history on abortion or not.

The Church's position on abortion is that it's contrary to (the Church's version of so-called) 'Natural Law'. It's odd to me that it took 19 centuries to discover a bit of theology that was (supposedly) there all along. That doesn't suggest 'natural' to me.

It's also interesting to reflect that the deep emotion and anger that many Catholics feel about abortion is a relatively new phenomenon. 200 years ago, their attitude could well have been: 'So what? It's not forbidden. It's not a sin'. I'm not suggesting that their feelings are insincere. However, looking at it from a historical perspective, it's impossible for me not to wonder whether their feelings on this issue are being manipulated, whether the anger is confected to a significant extent.

It's crazy, this nation is falling apart, and they want to declare war
on a womans right to decide what she wants to do with her own body?

We don't even want to provide assistance or medical care to the people that are already here!

Status: offline 		I can only answer that as an outside Mari, it is just my opinion and how I see it. I am heavy believer in womens rights over their own bodies,
given that, I believe the religious right for many reasons have become more organized politically.
I know its been political since RvW but I think they believe that altho they know they cant  get abortion made illegal ,  they are trying and almost succeeding in making it as difficult as possible for anyone to get abortions or even advice.
Many want to go back to victorian morals, and regain some control over people, and reduce womens rights way back to when men and the church ruled (because they had it pretty cushy the way things were).
Because women are freeer now to do basically whatever they choose, there is a lot of jealousy and anger towards "uppity women" actually uppity people in general :)
Ive had more than a few  cmails telling me much the same, some in very ignorant nasty threatening detail, which of course only makes me more determined to be an anti right wing. I will never be a female supremacist, or anti men, but I will always be against taking womens rights over their own bodies away from them.
Also I think its to do with the fact that they dont like civil rights in general.
Just my two cents

Great post!
I hope you haven't received hate mail from peeps on CM.
That would be just sad.
Here it is 2011, with everything that is facing the United States AND the entire world, why do the anti-abortion zealots feel now is the time they can attempt to pull stunts like this?
At the end of the day, they may score a few small victories, but they will not prevail nor win!!!
We have come a long way, baby!
We ain't going backwards!

Why the heck, can't they put that time, energy and money into feeding all the um's that are here and are hungry, homeless, or in dire straits?

Because fetuses are innocent and in need of protection but babies and children aren't, apparently. Must have something to do with all that sin they pick up going down the birth canal.

Well thank the goddess she told me that before I donated any more money to them. I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to be supporting that one.

yes, as a matter of fact I do. I guess this means I should go kick a dog or something. Maybe I will get a chance when I get to the park. First I will have to make sure dads stocked up on cat food and then I am off to walk in the woods. Have a great day.

Know what boi, you read an awful lot into one sentence. Instead of believing you know what I am thinking, try asking.

I have never accused anyone of kicking a dog or starving granny.

Try chilling out and relaxing. If I had wanted to attack you, I would have done it already.

It was a joke. Take your own advice and chill a bit.
