Boehner Criticizes Biden For Praising China’s One-Child Forced Abortion Policy

Speaker John Boehner criticized Vice President Joe Biden for his apparent empathy regarding China’s one-child forced abortion policies.
National Review reported, via Free Republic:

The Speaker of the House responds to Joe Biden’s apparent empathy for China’s one-child policy: “I’m deeply troubled by the comments reportedly made by the Vice President yesterday regarding China’s reprehensible one-child policy, which has resulted in forced sterilizations and coerced abortions and should not be condoned by any American official. No government on Earth has the authority to place quotas on the value of innocent human life, or to treat life as an economic commodity that can be regulated and taken away on a whim by the state. I hope and trust that the Vice President didn’t actually say what has been reported, and that a correction or clarification from the White House will be forthcoming. The Obama administration should be focusing on jobs for the American people, not encouraging foreign governments to utilize abortion as a means of population and deficit control.”

Biden needs to shut up and concentrate on his favorite three-letter-word, J-O-B-S.

The “One” feels if he can dictate to you what you must buy with your own money from a company that he approves of, then he feels he can dictate to you how many kids you may have and how many bowel movements you must have to reside legally in the USA. Obama himself proclaimed how much easier it would be to rule China than the USA. The “one” yearns, very badly, to be that dictator.

Speaker Boehner, Sir, it’s nice to see you’re now “deeply troubled” about an administration that not only supports China’s one-child mandate, but also is comprised of the vast majority of the Eugenics crowd, with Cass Sunstein and John Holdren in true positions of power and authority.

Where the hell were you, Sir, when we were telling you all this BEFORE the elections in November of 2008 when something could be done about it BEFORE these purely evil bastards in the current administration “fundamentally transform America”.

I know where you were…… You were campaigning on a platform that you and the rest of the CongressCritters™ – supposedly on our side and the side of freedom – would “listen” to the people and act accordingly.

Go spit up a rope…… Sir.

If you read the original piece, it’s not clear what Biden said.

Oh how these Liberal, compassionate servants of the people desperately yearn for (indeed, even have recurrent wet-dreams about) total, tyrannical, micro-managed control over every aspect of life in our country.

If it weren’t for that pesky “enumerated-powers” Constitution, the separation of powers and intentional governmental constructs wherein competing viewpoints really DO, by design (not a bug, but a key feature!) hinder impetuous fiats being issued by imperial-minded, despotic-leaning “rulers” who dream of absolute personal power over others.

Man, those Founding Fathers were a bunch of crazy radicals to hamstring demagogues in such a way. What were they thinking? (Perhaps personal observation that people [and, indeed, rulers] are by nature selfish and that absolute power corrupts absolutely? Couuuuuuld beeeee….)

“The Obama administration should be focusing on jobs for the American people, not encouraging foreign governments to utilize abortion as a means of population and deficit control.”

Deficit control? Okay–at least through Boener’s comment we now see where Dictator Obama us heading with all of this.

Bad economy = a call for “desperate” measures = population control via a government that says (read, dictates) who gets what medical care and when and under what circumstances = the State will not fund your pregnancy (and those who want more than one child are enemies of the State) = goal accomplished.

This makes sense when I watch Obama’s literal fawning over his eldest daughter while ignoring the youngest. The eldest is his “one”.

My friends: we are in a fight for the very survival of freedom and our nation.

Here’s what he said.
“What we ended up doing is setting up a system whereby we did cut by $1.2 trillion upfront, the deficit over the next 10 years. And we set up a group of senators that have to come up with another $1.2 to $1.7 trillion in savings or automatically there will be cuts that go into effect in January to get those savings. So the savings will be accomplished. But as I was talking to some of your leaders, you share a similar concern here in China. You have no safety net. Your policy has been one which I fully understand — I’m not second-guessing — of one child per family. The result being that you’re in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable.”

In September 2008, Biden was barred, by the bishop of Scranton, Pennsylvania, from receiving Holy Communion because of his support for abortion rights.
The Catholic Church should now ex-communicate him.

I have a question, if all of these dems seem to be in favor of a only one child per female how come they will not make it a one child per female limit for those on welfare or WIC?
Now that would help the budget almost instantly.
How many of those on welfare or WIC would voluntarily restrict their procreation to only one child if they could no longer have access to the public tax $$s? I bet it would be almost 100%.

Why anyone would be surprised about anything issuing from Biden’s mouth puzzles me. I know some would say it’s because he had those brain aneurisms but that rings hollow. He’s have to have a brain first.

Biden was the cheapest life insurance policy Obama could have procured. Why else do you think “Lunch Box Joe was put on the ticket?

#4 is “spot on”. Boehner is just trying to make himself look good after his treasonous part in the debt ceiling fiasco. He’s trying to “sound good” and place himself in our good graces. Not going to happen here! He’s a two-faced liar and he knows it.
