Oh, sure. Medicaid ring a bell? State-funded abortion clinics? Military abortions? Note that the bill says “no taxpayer-funded abortions,” not “no federally-funded abortions.” Ain’t they clever?
These people are absolutely right that taxpayer money funds abortions. What they fail to answer is, “Why shouldn’t it?” Abortion is a legal, private medical procedure that is none of their business.
Why don’t we put the onus on them to prove their point of view for once? “The Bible says so” is a big no-no when it comes to the government. The Constitution they just took pains to read aloud says exactly that. What else do they have to fall back on?

I said ths same thing to my husband last night. I guess it’s because there’s no “abortion-industrial complex.” ;-)

Great picture, great post. It’s well worth mentioning that the co-sponsor of Smith-Lipinski is a Democrat.
There should be NO “pro-life” Democrats – the Democratic platform is clearly pro-choice and pro-ERA. If NARAL and NOW and Planned Parenthood were doing their jobs, the Democrats would be too afraid of THEM and tens of millions of pissed-off women marching on Washington, to do anything but protect our basic civil rights to control our own bodies.
Now, we basically have two Parties that are anti-choice. This is what happens when the pro-choice organizations punt on this issue for 30 years while letting the Christian Taliban take control of the dialogue.
For those who think this couldn’t pass the Senate and/or that Obama would veto it if it did, I have three words for you: Executive Order 13535.
