The Obama Biden Plan robs nearly 3/4 of a TRILLION dollars from Medicare to pay for Obamacare.

or as Greg Gutfield would say

Obama is robbing Grampas to pay for Scamps

And his over $700 billion in cuts will result in 15 percent of healthcare providers going BANKRUPT within a few years according to those running Medicare.

So who is going to be left to provide care for all the elderly FLOUNDER? NOBODY as they will be tied up providing FREE ABORTIONS being paid for by CHINA as all the former US tax payers have moved to get away from the Democrat Tax Plan or Bankrupt paying Democrat Taxes to pay for all the FREE STUFF. :roll:

TRENDING: GOP platform committee approves tough anti-abortion stance
Posted by
CNN Political Reporter Peter Hamby

Tampa, Florida (CNN) – Republicans drafting their party's official policy platform on Tuesday ratified a call for a Constitutional ban on abortion that makes no exceptions for rape or incest.


The vote to endorse the party's long-standing opposition to abortion and support for a "human life amendment" took place at a meeting of the GOP's official platform committee in Tampa, the site of next week's Republican National Convention.


The party's official stance on abortion was approved after just a few minutes of discussion. The language in the platform must be voted on before the full Republican Convention next week, though Republicans say it is all but certain to pass.

"Faithful to the 'self-evident' truths enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, we assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed," the platform language declares. "We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment's protections apply to unborn children."

Platform committee chairman Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia thanked the 110-member committee for "affirming our respect for human life" and quickly moved on to other topics as top advisers to Mitt Romney's Republican presidential campaign looked on from the back of the room.

Because the language about a Constitutional abortion ban is similar to language in past Republican platforms, the vote might normally have escaped notice.

But the debate over abortion - and exceptions for rape victims - was thrust into the national political spotlight on Sunday in the wake of Missouri Rep. Todd Akin's comments about "legitimate rape."

Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan sharply condemned Akin's remarks and pledged that under a Romney administration, abortion would be allowed in the case of rape.

An exemption for rape, though, is not included in the platform set to be adopted by the party Romney will officially lead when he accepts the Republican nomination next week.

And Ryan, his vice presidential pick, has opposed exceptions for rape and voted alongside Akin in the House, though Ryan now says he defers to Romney's position on the matter.


Republican officials said the language in the platform was "100% pro-life" but stressed that the document has to remain vague and avoid specific language about abortion exceptions because different states have varying abortion regulations.

In the abortion and "sanctity of life" platform, Republicans also outlined its opposition to federally-funded embryonic stem cell research and demanded that the government "not fund or subsidize health care which includes abortion coverage."

Additionally, the party inserted a "salute" to states pushing "informed consent" laws – an apparent reference to ultrasound bills that have moved through some state legislatures – "mandatory waiting periods prior to an abortion, and health-protective clinic regulation."


This may be the "Sarah Palin" that shoots down the Romney/Ryan ticket... After Palin came on board with McCain- and began touting her antiabortion platform- lots of women, including Republican women, jumped ship and went to Obama.... Hundreds of the posters on the Obama site said it was because of Palins opposition to sex education and abortion....

Even many, like me, that don't really approve of abortion think that it should not be a Federal Government issue... Any legalities should be left to the states- and the real final decision left to the woman, her Doctor, and her God---not a bunch of old grey haired men in D.C. trying to play God...

You seem to believe the Government should stay out of a woman's bedroom. So why should those so called old grey haired men in DC and US tax payers be expected to pay to get rid of the results of what she is doing in her bedroom? If you want the Republicans to stay out of your bedroom stop expecting them to clean up YOUR MESSES. :wink: :roll:

Probably fair-- but in the case of low income and welfare folks-- it may be a lot cheaper for taxpayers to pay now for birth control or abortion-- than it will be to pay for 20 years putting another on the welfare rolls....

I don't ever post in here because I hate it ... but, who is going to pay for all the unwanted children? How many will suffer and die as a result of neglect, abuse and abandonment? How many will be found in dumpsters or just plainly murdered and disposed of?. How many woman will commit suicide because of a mistake pregnancy? How many parents of teenage pregnant girls will abandon them because of their pregnancy, forced out of their homes to fend for themselves while still under age?. Are they going have human pounds like there are dog pounds? Are any of you going to take in 1000's of unwanted kids to feed, cloth and house for 18+ years?. And to add, there are millions of women and men that should not ever be a parent.
Now once all these "children" are of working age... where are they going to get jobs? How many will take to the life of crime? Will you or your family be a victim of their crimes?. What about the kid's that are born unhealthy or need to be institutionalized?, do they not drain the tax payers and medical system? Don't you think there are enough jobless, sick and homeless people now?
People are not going to stop breeding period so get over it and birth control does not work for every woman.

It's cheaper for the woman to have an abortion if that is HER choice.
Maybe everyone should just go get "fixed"

Abortion, by the numbers, is a racist institution. That's not to say that all or even most of those who support abortion are racists. Nor does it imply that there are no racists among those who oppose abortion. This statement has nothing to do with agendas or intent. It has everything to do with the simple, undeniable reality that in the United States, abortion kills minority children at more than 3 times the rate of non-Hispanic, white children. The rate is even worse for black children. The Reverend Clenard H. Childress calls this phenomenon "black genocide", and has built a national ministry around the exposure of what he calls "the greatest deception [to] plague the black church since Lucifer himself". Alveda C. King, daughter of slain civil-rights leader A.D. King and niece of Martin Luther King, Jr., quotes her uncle often when outlining her opposition of abortion. She writes:

[Martin Luther King, Jr.] once said, “The Negro cannot win as long as he is willing to sacrifice the lives of his children for comfort and safety.” How can the “Dream” survive if we murder the children? Every aborted baby is like a slave in the womb of his or her mother. The mother decides his or her fate.1

Lest you feel these claims are an exaggeration, consider the numbers. According to the most recent census data available for race (2000), black women make up 12.3% of the female population in America, but accounted for 36.4% of all U.S. abortions in 2006 – that according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The Guttmacher Institute (AGI) puts the percentage of black abortions at 30% of the U.S. total. Their most recent numbers are from 2008. Similarly, AGI tells us that Hispanic women accounted for 25% of all U.S. abortions in 2008, though they made up just 12.5% of the female population in 20007. The CDC lists the percentage of Hispanic abortions in 2006 at 20.1%. Compare those numbers to non-Hispanic, white women, who make up 69% of America's female population9, but account for only 36% of all U.S. abortions (36.1% according to the CDC).


Abortion is eliminating minority children in the United States at a staggering rate.

Every day in America, an average of 3,315 human beings lose their lives to abortion. Based on the percentages above, between 666-829 of those babies are Hispanic, between 1,193-1,197 are white, and between 995-1,207 are black. Not only are black children being killed at a far greater percentage than white children, it's possible they're being killed in greater numbers, period. Is that not shocking?! Though the white population in the U.S. outnumbers the black population five to one, abortion may well be killing more black children each day than white children. John Piper, a white pastor with a heart for racial justice, remarks on the disparity of abortion this way:

The de facto effect (I don’t call it the main cause, but net effect) of putting abortion clinics in the urban centers is that the abortion of Hispanic and Black babies is more than double their percentage of the population. Every day 1,300 black babies are killed in America. Seven hundred Hispanic babies die every day from abortion. Call this what you will—when the slaughter has an ethnic face and the percentages are double that of the white community and the killers are almost all white, something is going on here that ought to make the lovers of racial equality and racial harmony wake up.

Each year, almost a half a million black babies are lost to abortion. The Life Education and Resource Network (LEARN), the largest African-American pro-life group in the country has produced a chart which shows that from 1973-2001, abortion has claimed more than two and a half times as many African-American lives as the next five leading causes combined. In 2005, a total of 292,808 blacks died in the U.S. That same year, almost twice as many blacks (roughly 447,700) were killed by abortion. In 2004, the black population in the U.S. stood at 36 million. Between 1973 and 2004, roughly 15 million blacks were aborted, which means that, as of 2004, nearly 30% of the black population has been lost to abortion! And that doesn't even factor in all the children that would have been born to those aborted a generation ago. Population estimates show that blacks will soon lose their status as the nation's largest minority group. To put it bluntly, abortion has thinned the black community in ways the Ku Klux Klan could have only dreamed of.

The fact that black leaders, like President Obama, support abortion rights does not change the reality of what is happening. How many candidates for public office have abandoned a prior conviction so as to be consistent with a party platform? This is perhaps nowhere more evident than in Reverend Jesse Jackson's flip-flop on abortion. Prior to having ambitions as a Presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, he was an incredibly eloquent and outspoken opponent of abortion. Though his public stance on abortion has reversed, his earlier remarks remain as applicable as ever, and show that there is more than mere numbers at stake. Abortion attacks the "moral fabric" of an entire people. The following remarks come from his 1977 article for the National Right to Life News:

The question of "life" is The Question of the 20th century. Race and poverty are dimensions of the life question, but discussions about abortion have brought the issue into focus in a much sharper way.

How we will respect and understand the nature of life itself is the over-riding moral issue, not of the Black race, but of the human race.

The question of abortion confronts me in several different ways. First, although I do not profess to be a biologist, I have studied biology and know something about life from the point of view of the natural sciences. Second, I am a minister of the Gospel and, therefore, feel that abortion has a religious and moral dimension that I must consider. Third, I was born out of wedlock (and against the advice that my mother received from her doctor) and therefore abortion is a personal issue for me.

From my perspective, human life is the highest good, the summum bonum. Human life itself is the highest human good and God is the supreme good because He is the giver of life...

There are those who argue that the right to privacy is of higher order than the right to life. I do not share that view. I believe that life is not private, but rather it is public and universal.

If one accepts the position that life is private, and therefore you have the right to do with it as you please, one must also accept the conclusion of that logic. That was the premise of slavery. You could not protest the existence or treatment of slaves on the plantation because that was private and therefore outside of your right to concerned.

Another area that concerns me greatly, namely because I know how it has been used with regard to race, is the psycholinguistics involved in this whole issue of abortion. If something can be dehumanized through the rhetoric used to describe it, then the major battle has been won. Those advocates of taking life prior to birth do not call it killing or murder, they call it abortion. They further never talk about aborting a baby because that would imply something human. Rather they talk about aborting the fetus. Fetus sounds less than human and therefore can be justified.

… What happens to the mind of a person, and the moral fabric of a nation, that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience? What kind of a person, and what kind of a society will we have 20 years hence if life can be taken so casually?

It is that question, the question of our attitude, our value system, and our mind-set with regard to the nature and worth of life itself that is the central question confronting mankind. Failure to answer that question affirmatively may leave us with a hell right here on earth.

The majority of Planned Parenthood's abortion clinics are located in communities with minority populations that exceed the city or state averages. Is this a bizarre coincidence, or is it merely an extension of the eugenic principles that seem to have driven Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger, a founder who is documented as saying, "We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population." This statement, written in a 1939 letter to a colleague, can be taken in one of two ways. Either she didn't want the black community to wrongly assume that her efforts promoting birth control were an attempt to eliminate them, or she didn't want the black community to find out that this is exactly what she had in mind. Planned Parenthood assumes the first, her opponents assume the latter. Based on the greater context of her writings, the truth likely lies in between. She probably didn't have in mind the elimination of all blacks, but it is quite reasonable to infer that she did want to keep them in submission and in line.

Whatever the case may be, the bottom line is this. Margaret Sanger's vision of social purification was rooted in birth control and sterilization. Compared with abortion, these were minor threats to minority communities. Planned Parenthood's contemporary vision of social purification is much more menacing. No longer is the organization driven by pregnancy prevention, it is now driven by pregnancy elimination. We can debate the racial intent of Planned Parenthood past and present, but we cannot debate the results. Abortion is by no means an equal opportunity killer.

Sorry Oldtimer but as it was pointed out during the War on women, Birth Control Pills at Walmart run about $9. and I will bet you those young welfare women who think they need a tax payer funded abortion have probably spent far more then that buying the new outfit to go clubing. If they need extra funds I recommend they stop spending their money on the newest version of I Phones and I Pads.

Low income families need to budget $9 into their monthly budget to cover their bedroom activities even if it means their darling little children can't keep up the better off Neighborhood kids with new gadgets and cell phones. They need to take responsiblity for THEIR ACTIONS and teach their children to do the same. Once the Dems stop promising to pay to fix their mess, they will be forced to figure out how to fix them for themselves.

It has been proven in other countries that the longer you provide unemployment to some of these people the longer thay will SIT ON UNEMPLOYMENT and take your handouts.
It is time to toss some of them into the deep end of the pool and see if they have any instinct to survive. :wink:

AMEN-- many don't realize/know what is actually happening in the real world... As Tams post indicates- they put out what should be happening in a perfect world- not what is in the real world... You can look at things with all the rose colored glasses you have-and describe the world the way you would like to see it-- but that doesn't change what is actually happening in the real world...

Tam how do you force irresponible people to take responsibility? That is what the Healthcare law trys to do with the mandate- and everyone whines about that.....

As long as Democrat bleeding hearts continue to cover these peoples actions, governments are going to continue to go bankrupt. :roll:

But since you think tax payers should clean up these PRIVATE BEDROOM messes, tell us just how many times should a women be allowed to get an abortion before the tax payers have a right to say enough is enough FIX HER. How many children should men beable to father and not take responsiblity for before the tax payer have a right to say enough is enough FIX HIM?

I dare say as soon as the tax payers who fund these peoples bedroom activities revote and put a limit on these people, there will be sleazy lawyers sueing the government for taking their rights to have children away. And sleazy politicians will be using them to get re-elected by promising them more FREE STUFF namely more abortions.

But isn't that what Democrats are working towards. more depending on the Government to take care of them so they won't vote for someone that might cut them off and make them take care of themselves? :x

If you use the argument that how and what happens to the innocent children as a pass that abortion is ok, then you ought to have a license to reproduce, use the funds to fund child welfare programs.

I love it when Democrats think that a party can just come up with some arbirtary "plan" and think the Constitution can be changed as easily.

Read the CNN article again. They do not mention "banning abortion", but the means of payment for said abortions.

If you choose not to take a monthly pill, at a cost of $9, why should I be required to pay hundreds, for your poor choice?

And our local "Libertarian" is all for Government/taxpayer, paying for these abortions. :lol:


Maybe you should pay more tax OT, so poor people can purchase more Bibles and such. :lol:

Making an amendment to make abortion unconstitutional nationwide sure looks like a total ban to me-- and another Republican infringement on states rights....

the problem with you OT, is that you believe every conspiracy theory posted on some Liberally biased site.


You should read an article in it's entirety, before commenting....





"that the government "should not fund or subsidize health care which includes abortion coverage.""


That does not sound like a "BAN" to me, just the funding.

Additionally, the party inserted a "salute" to states pushing "informed consent" laws – an apparent reference to ultrasound bills that have moved through some state legislatures – "mandatory waiting periods prior to an abortion, and health-protective clinic regulation."

Making an amendment to make abortion unconstitutional nationwide sure looks like a total ban to me-- and another Republican infringement on states rights....



the problem with you OT, is that you believe every conspiracy theory posted on some Liberally biased site.


You should read an article in it's entirety, before commenting....





"that the government "should not fund or subsidize health care which includes abortion coverage.""


That does not sound like a "BAN" to me, just the funding.


No that sounds to me like a second or third choice in their shotgun approach of doing away with abortion... They know they don't stand a snowballs chance in hell of passing a constitutional amendment outlawing it- so then they have to have their punt plays ready..

But the Dems are going to use the ban amendment- and idiot Congressmens statements - and again slaughter the Repubs..
