PJM: After the Supreme Court unilaterally struck down state laws regulating abortion in Roe v. Wade (1973), Congress passed two amendments to protect pro-life taxpayers from being forced to finance what they consider to be a form of murder. The Hyde Amendment prevents taxpayer funding for abortions in the U.S. and the Helms Amendment prevents taxpayer funding for abortions overseas. This week, House Democrats filed the “first-ever bill” to repeal the Helms Amendment, calling the policy “deeply rooted in racism.”
“The Helms Amendment is a policy deeply rooted in racism. It imposes our arbitrary and medically unnecessary abortion restrictions on international communities, allowing the United States to control the health care and bodily autonomy of billions of Black and brown people around the world,” Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) said in a statement. Schakowsky teamed up with Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), a member of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Squad,” to introduce the Abortion is Health Care Everywhere Act of 2020.
“Just like the Hyde Amendment, the Helms Amendment puts reproductive and economic freedom out of reach for women of color,” Schakowsky argued. “But enough is enough, and both amendments must fall if we want to realize true health equity and reproductive justice.” read more
What else is new?
We need people who live in gated communities to tell us what to do.
Hey “PROGS”, it’s called “KEEP YOUR LEGS TOGETHER”, then you don’t worry about having your child aborted up to & including the moment of live birth.
Their “reproductive justice” has babies as capital offenders who must be executed. If you can justify that then you can justify killing anyone.
Just like the democrat party; Satan never quits.
Although I do not agree and consider abortion murder, I hope the Democrats, Marxists, Progressives, Socialists (but, I repeat myself) throughout the world fervently and individually participate in all of their reproductive health aspects to the fullest extent humanly possible.
Otherwise, they would be considered racists.
Even if it was “reproductive health”. (It isn’t), since when is it the US taxpayers responsibllity to provide it for the rest of the world?
It won’t pass, but if it did, President Trump should issue an executive order imposing a 100% tax on Hollywood to pay for it.
They be Demoncrats. Truly the spawn of satan and soros.
Leftists actually do want to start a war…..
This is so stoopid it’s maddening to argue. Why do these idiots want easier access to abortion when the greatest number of victims of abortion are minorities? These morons are promoting a policy of racism against the people they are pretending to represent.
Racist? No. My stance on abortion is 100% color-blind.
Of course, those proposing this legislation are the same people who will tell you that whatever you do that isn’t completely in accord with their demands right this second is racist, and you can bet it’ll be different in an hour. And being 100% color-blind isn’t their demand, is it?
345,672 abortions by Planned Parenthood in 2018-2019.
They don’t know what “their demands right this second” will be on a day to day basis. Their demands de’jour are dictated from on high, circulated to the numbskulls through the media, and then acted on.
Their demands today are whatever advances their political agenda of the day. They don’t need to be consistent from one year to the next or even day to day. The rank and file of the progressive movement activists are puppets, and those down stream are incapable of rational thought and intellectual consistency. They don’t even understand the concepts.
They have been conditioned to respond in certain ways and that is how they operate. They are so incapable of thinking on a higher level that they wear their conformity as a badge of honor… and why not? Conformity and compliance is what they have been rewarded for their entire lives.
Planned Parenthood is a global Corporation – 183 Countries.
2019 statistics.
345,672 – Abortions, Planned Parenthood, 2019
$617 million in funding. ≈$2 per person in the US.
With much of it channeled through Medicaid = $1788 per Abortion
That we paid for.
Imagine that amount X 183 = $112,911,000,000
Money & Power
Sanger must be laughing from her grave.
TonyR,
Even if it does pass Kongress, President Trump will veto it. I don’t think there’s a 2/3 majority to override.
“Abortion is Infanticide Everywhere Act 2020” – The Congressional Marxist Harpy Squad never disappoint – death is their first priority.
Although it seems like Satan has the upper hand, God IS in control. Christians world-wide need to fall on our knees, repent for letting society kick God out of our government, schools, entertainment, news and many churches. Then we need to ask for God’s mercy.
We are like Israel in the Old Testament. Turn away from God and he turns us over to our enemies. Repent and ask for mercy and he returns to defeat our enemies.
Let’s do it.
“… if we want to realize true health equity and reproductive justice.”
WTF is ‘reproductive justice?’
isn’t it supposed to be ‘all about the science?’
a consequence of having ‘unprotected’ sex is pregnancy. That isn’t ‘justice,’- it is biology. And, as there are laws of physics, there are also laws of biology, which were not created by man, but were received by him from the hand of God. Try as they may, biology will not comply with the laws of man.
Failure to use contraception or respond to possibly unwanted consequences of sex in a timely manner is not justification for abortion. Most especially, late term abortion.
My goodness- they will give you a ticket for riding a bicycle without a helmet, or just going outside without a mask. Why don’t they start ticketing for unprotected sex that results in abortion?
Pleasurable as it is, the purpose of sex is procreation. That is not ‘justice, it is the science of biology.
And while they’re talking about abortion and consequences, why don’t they look at the statistics of occurrence of breast cancer in black women who have previously had an abortion? Yeah, they won’t cover that one. They most certainly should. But if anyone does, they will lose all future funding and have their credibility attacked and destroyed. Just because you rip a baby out of a womb, the mother’s body does not immediately respond to that massive biological change. It is a torture to the mother’s metabolism and the result of a murder.
I wish I could be more articulate on this, but it just saddens me so greatly, that at this state of humankind, we commit such atrocities, and compel those who object to pay for it.
POLICE ARREST PEACEFUL RIGHT-WINGERS IN FRONT OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD
While your beloved sacred cows, the “honorable” police, stand around and watch statues torn down, precincts burned, cities taken over, they are quick to arrest right-wing militia members, churches not social-distancing, and these pro-life advocates chalking on a PUBLIC SIDEWALK in front of Planned Parenthood.
Stop supporting these people, they are NOT your friends, just using you for support. Whatever illegal, unconstitutional things the mayor tells them to do, they will GLADLY do it for a paycheck, no question about it, “just following orders!”
