Pelosi tried to include federal funding for abortion into the coronavirus economic stimulus plan

Daily Caller: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sought to include a potential way to guarantee federal funding for abortion into the coronavirus economic stimulus plan, according to multiple senior White House officials.

Speaking to the Daily Caller, those officials alleged that while negotiating the stimulus with U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Pelosi tried to lobby for “several” provisions that stalled bipartisan commitment to the effort. One was a mandate for up to $1 billion to reimburse laboratory claims, which White House officials say would set a precedent of health spending without protections outlined in the Hyde Amendment.

The Hyde Amendment blocks clinics that perform abortions from receiving federal funding, and Democrats have pushed the Trump administration to end it since he was elected in 2016. read more

  1. The damage being done to us by the Coronavirus is not from the virus but from the deliberately generated fear and hysteria over it. It’s a political thing, not a medical one.

    The virus itself doesn’t actually deserve that much attention, so ask yourself “Who and what will benefit from the fear of it?”. Then you will know why it -the fear campaign- is being done.

  2. Typical never let a crisis go to waste mentality in the shithole on the Potomac. Surprised the scumbags didn’t try to sneak another pay raise while they were at it.

  3. The world has gone mad and this dumb broad thinks it’s OK to include funding for abortion in a bill to protect us against the corona virus. What’s the friggin left going to do when the Supreme Court rules against Roe v Wade later this Spring and send abortion back to the states where it belonged in the first place? The left is going to shit kittens and go apoplectic when then their sacrament to Baal is removed from effect all across the nation. Idaho is already considering opting out and making it illegal as will most of the other states that aren’t liberal shitholes.

  4. ^^^that’s why I just said “no”. Probably my shortest post EVER here, very rare for me. What I WANTED to day would have been MUCH longer and WAY more profanity laced, but a different (?) @anon rightly said I shouldn’t cuss one time and praise God another, so I AM trying…

  5. Yes, I know we’re not supposed to think that women who contract to kill their children are morally diseased because — well, I still haven’t figured it out exactly.

  6. Would that be “Devout Roman Catholic” Nancy Pelosi?

    Any Bishop worthy of the office would have come out and said: If Nancy Pelosi is a Devout Roman Catholic then I am Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile. Or something to that effect

    We have the Goddamned pusillanimous and/or complicit Catholic Bishops as well as the utterly disgraceful USCCB to thank for this nonsense. That institution ranks right up there among the most hypocritical and destructive operations in the country today.

    Don’t get me wrong, we have some outstanding Bishops among them. But the institution itself reeks to high hell.

  7. Trump needs to come back out with this piece of crap proposal and redline it for America explain we need to set aside politics and deal with the issue at hand and it is democrats grandstanding and using this to promote an agenda because they don’t care about anything that doesn’t grow gov or suit their agenda.

    Well stated.

    My brother once said he wouldn’t feel safe sleeping under the same roof as an abortion obsessed pseudo-feminist psycho. His reasoning is that there is nothing so abhorrent that if it served their ends they are not capable of it.

  9. Just secede from this mess. Let them crumble like all liberal cities do, then eventually absorb and take them over one at a time.

    No wonder Rome fell. Political parties hated each other so much, they wanted barbarians to wipe out the other instead of surviving together.

  10. The left is obsessed with killing the unborn. Why wouldn’t they be true to their hypocrisy and attach a murderous mandate to a bill designed to protect life. Nasty Nance strikes again.

  11. The way I see it, these monsters are not only willing to shed innocent blood, but constantly try to legitimize doing it.
    There’s no bottom to that sort of depravity – such people are capable of any kind of horror.
