US Senate Dems Approve Funding for DC Abortions – Obama Will Sign Bill This Week
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, December 13, 2009, 9:13 PM
In September 2008 abortion survivor Gianna Jessen joined Born Alive Truth in an illuminating ad campaign that attacked Barack Obama for voting to snuff the life out of newborn babies who miraculously survived the abortion process:
Here’s the powerful ad on Obama’s infanticide record from BornAliveTruth.org:
Can you imagine not giving babies their basic human rights, no matter how they entered our world? My name is Gianna Jessen, born 31 years ago after a failed abortion. I’m a survivor, as are many others… but if Barack Obama had his way, I wouldn’t be here.Unfortunately, Barack Obama voted four times against affording these babies their most basic human right. I have serious concerns about Senator Obama’s record and views on this issue, given he voted against these protections four times as a state Senator. Just as abuse victims share their stories to educate the public, fight for the common good and hope that as a result politicians do what’s right, I felt it was important to come forward and give these new born babies a voice.
I am living proof these babies have a right to live, and I invite you to learn more about Senator Obama’s record on this important issue.
-Abortion Survivor Gianna Jessen
Barack Obama voted 4 times to support infanticide.
So is it really a surprise that Obama will sign a bill this week that authorizes the use of taxpayer money to fund abortions in Washington DC?
Life News reported:
The Senate approved an omnibus spending bill on Sunday that would lift the 13-year-long ban on directly paying for abortions in the nation’s capital. The legislation, which President Barack Obama is expected to sign, also contains funding for Planned Parenthood and the UNFPA.
The Senate passed the bill, which funds several federal government departments, by a 57-35 vote, with Democrats backing the measure and most Republicans opposing it.
Passage of the measure today was no surprise given that Democrats won a filibuster battle on a narrow 60-34 vote that saw Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Thad Cochran of Mississippi and Richard Shelby of Alabama side with Democrats to move ahead to a vote on the bill.
Those same three Republicans voted for the bill and three Democrats, pro-abortion Sens. Evan Bayh of Indiana, Claire McCaskill of Missouri and Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, all voted against it for other reasons.
61% of Americans oppose taxpayer funded abortions.

Didn’t the O confirmed he wouldn’t ask for Americans to pay for abortions after Joe Wilson told him he lied?
I don’t think the -19 Rasmussen rating will hold up much longer. I suggest it will go even lower after this lie.
And the Democrats DARED to censure Wilson for stating the truth?

I can’t keep up with his lies. How many does this make?

Pro-life turncoat Doug Kmiec, having sold his soul to become Obama’s Ambassador to (the Mediterranean paradise) Malta, couldn’t be reached for a comment.
John Hetman commented:
Snuffing out the sacred lives of unborn infants to satisfy a social elite that is falling ever deeper into madness. Words cannot express just how utterly crass and demonic Obama has been in promoting death for the most vuinerable of our human family. The man is a disgrace.
wanumba commented:
Washington DC abortion funding will be back? The majority population of DC is … Black?
Obama said if his daughters don’t listen to his advice and “mess up” he wouldn’t want them burdened with a baby. Grandpapa not on board.

isn’t it racist? majority of DC residents are black, so now taxpayers are paying to kill black babies??? WTH?? and obama got 97% of the black vote, so very sad.

“61% of Americans oppose taxpayer funded abortions.”
And rightfully so.
You’re too lazy/stupid/retarded to use a condom? You think only with your penis/vagina and let everybody into your panties? Tough luck! Pay for your abortions yourself!
It’s not the tax payer’s fault that you’re a dumbass!

Killing inconvenient children seems to be very important to Democrats. In fact, I can’t think of anything else that seems as important to them. They seem to get it into every bill. However, killing old people with their healthcare fraud bill seems to be a close second. I wonder if the people who are in between young children and seniors realize that they are going to be old someday?
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Anyone here following John McTernan will expect that, upon the signing of this bill into law, a catastrophe will be visited upon this nation, per the immutable laws of metaphysics. Israel knows what I’m talkin’ about, or she did at one point in her history.
Expect one this week if it is signed. Natural disaster, terrorist attack, financial collapse, military defeat: pick one or more. At least it won’t be a slow news week.

Damn right, Mountainbear.
Damn right, Shiba07.
Damn right, Wanumba (as usual)
.
Damn right, John Hetman.
GP has some on-the-ball commenters.

Democrats seem very determined to kill inconvenient children. It seems they stick more money into every bill to accomplish their goals.With the success they have had in killing babies, they now seem intent on extending the killing to older Americans with their healthcare fraud bill.

B+!

B+! Wonder if that was how he got his grades in college – wait, we don’t ecven know if he got grades in college? Amazing, how little we know about him.
Solaratov commented:
The Catholic Church announced that they would cease all charitable activities in DC and walk away from all contracts with DC if that passed.
I certainly hope that they have the courage to stand by that.
Of course, they also said that, if the “health care” bill contained payment for abortions – or if hospitals and clinics were required to provide abortions – that they would start closing hospitals and clinics across the country. Closing. Not selling off to someone who would go along with the law – but closing and boarding up. Standing empty.
And I hope they have the courage to stand by that, too.

This makes me sick–how can anyone say there a democrat and a christian in the same breathe? You can’t. They are killers of innocent HUMAN life. No wonder they don’t defend our young in AFRA/IRAQ; or 3000 lives in New York, its just a life, who cares? But the ironic thing is they want to save the EARTH but NOT human life???? euthenisa for our old; abort the young; do nothing 90 days for our young soldiers? DEMOGODS are the evil spawn that crawled out of a deep dark hole and their leader– is the real manchurian president.
AgainstAbortion commented:
Hmmm. Democrats will gladly MURDER an unborn child, but they will not support the RIGHT to bear firearms to defend the families that didn’t MURDER their unborn children…..
