Pelosi: 'Family Planning' will 'Reduce Costs'
Posted by: Matt Lewis at 10:23 AM
As Carol noted, Nancy Pelosi said birth control will help the economy.  But in my mind, birth control is not all that is implied in the term, "family planning."

Too bad contraception isn't retroactive
I only wish Nancy's mom had used one. We wouldn't have to deal with her insane ideology. Maybe we could create a contraceptive that would reverse her miserable life and put her back in the womb to be aborted. America would benefit greatly from that pill. Take the little worm Reid back too.

As usual you couldn't address the point could you?
Just like you can't over and over again when presented with real facts. Your pathetic ad hominem attacks are just a joke.

Let's hear about all the poverty stricken kids you sponsor. Let's hear what you do for the kids already here....you know those ones that Nancy Pelosi regards as a debit line on a State's balance sheet. Come on tell us all. We are all dying to hear what it is that YOU do.

Sweet FA would be my guess. You are all talk and no action while the rest of us actually do things....we just don't feel the need to criticize those that don't (like you I would guess). Just so you have a clue my wife and I sent 8 times as much money to overseas poverty stricken kids this Christmas as we did to ANY of the kids in our family. Can you say anything close to the same? No, I didn't think so.
You are a disgusting lying, fact-devoid heap o'crap. Shut your fat mouth until you have the faintest clue what you are talking about.

If we are talking dysfunctional you might want to take a long hard look in the mirror. I am not the one on here insulting and bad-mouthing people all day long. I am not the one who spends his life trolling a site run by and populated by people you describe as "irrelevant". If we are so irrelevant why waste so much of your sorry little life here? Don't bother answering that last bit as we all know the answer...it's the only way you can validate your sorry little existence and actually get some attention from others as in the real world everyone would just shun the angry, miserable little person you are. The only reason you come here is to stand out. Any lib site and you'd just be another foul mouthed idiot in a sea of similar clowns.
So sad and pathetic.

Irony
It is an irony that those who decry the deaths of patriots in war do not give a thought to the more than 50,000,000 babies who have been murdered since 1973. It is an irony that those who champion "choice" are committed to removing the right to choose from those people who do not want to be complicit in the murder of our children.

Just Democrats Being Honest
Pelosi's comments are chilling. To advocate the murder of children as an acceptable way to save money is an abomination; that however has been an argument of the abortion lobby since it began. To attempt to make it the policy of our nation is nothing short of evil, and makes a mockery of our freedom and liberty. Unfortunately, more than half of our brain dead citizens voted for this agenda. It means harder work for those of us who recognize and respect the dignity of life.
Fight on and never give up.

Pelosi explains economic stimulus:
Stephanopoulos: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?

Pelosi: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.

Stephanopoulos: So no apologies for that?

Pelosi: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy.

Indeed, this woman is often referred to as the most powerful woman in the U.S. but she is also the most incompetent. I have a feeling that even she is aware of her incompetency.

Had someone other than Munck said the above, Munck might well have responded thus: If you buy a ticket they let you sit inside the plane rather than on it. You found yourself sitting next to him? You were lost and had no recollection of how you got there?

For the uninitiated, Munck's forte is picking up on the minutiae.

Payback
This is clearly Pelosi's reward to Planned Parenthood for the millions they poured into the Democrats' coffers. PP is the primary recipient of all government "family planning" dollars.
Charles writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 4:36 PM
Nancy Pelosi today on birth control and
This woman is alledged to be Roman Catholic. She should be excomuunicated. Out of her own mouth she has put herself way outside of anything normal for a practicing Roman Catholic.

Her views on birth control and abortion are unnaceptable. They are immoral.

She must think that not having children is some kind of patriotic duty or something.

It is no business of the government whether a woman should or should not have a child.

This woman with her extreme left wing views is a danger to amercan society and culture. Better keep guard over your children. She wants them dead. Its fascism! Ordinary people trying to raise a family could become enemies of her State.

President Obama is worse yet. It seems the current administration wants women to abort their preborn shildren to donate their stem cells to medical science. They want to kill the preborn to save the living. This is a moral disaster in the making.

The human death ovens of the Holocaust and Nazis are now the abortion clinics across America and the whole world. How can people go to church or synagogue who advocate killing preborn children.

I fully support retroactive abortions for all democrat politicians and the idiots that vote for them. Let's get started immediately; undoubtedly this will create thousands of jobs. Hell, I'll do it for free so long as I get to abort Pelosi, Reid, and Obama.

"Lets have congress meet via a web meeting"

I've been an advocate of that for years; I even talked to Clayborn Pell about it back when he was still senator (found myself sitting next to him on a plane). He was very enthusiastic, but then he was also somewhat of a nut. (He just died a couple of weeks ago.)

Not just a web meeting, though. Set up an office suite in each state capitol for each senator and representative from that state, with lots of high-bandwidth, highly-secure telecom equipment. Let them video-chat and video-conference and facebook or tweet each other until the cows come home.

Never happen; it would KILL the lobbyists. Their targets would no longer be all in the same place, so they'd all have to have field offices all over the country. They'd ALL lobby against it, and they're good at lobbying.

Interesting.

However most people have a more favorable view of the WORD progressive than they do liberal, socialist, etc. Add to that, most people do not understand the history of the "progressive" movement in the United States.

The "Progressives" are also trying to Claim, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther King, and Abraham Lincoln were actually "Progressives" and want to equate the current "liberal/Progressive" movement with those folks...again, interesting.
Wesley writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 3:26 PM
Re: Dose of reality
I'd much rather have them call themselves Progressive than Liberal. After all, by doing so, they are taking the history of the Progressive movement as their own, with its incredible growth in racism, three Depressions, Hoovervilles, and Prohibition. Prior to Franklin Roosevelt, Conservatives and Liberals were allies with similar philosophies. It didn't change until FDR ran as a small-government liberal and ruled as a Progressive. The current philosophy espoused by the Democratic party is antithetical to liberty, so calling them liberals is completely inaccurate.

Veronica writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 2:45 PM
What Pelosi and Sting have in common.
Remember when Sting was saying couples should only have two children, but he and his wife had five? It's the same thing with Pelosi. It's okay for her to have five children, but other people should use birth control. She should be voted out of office. It's okay for her, but not for everyone else. It's the same thing with everything for her. People, wise up. Vote the woman out of office.
Dose of Reality writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 2:43 PM
Cutting Costs?
Here is an idea for cutting costs. Lets have congress meet via a web meeting and close down their hallowed chambers, gyms, banks, post office, lavish trips, huge staffs etc.

With current technology, 75% of the business carried on in congress can be done via phone,fax, email, and with a $25 webcam from best buy....
Kathy writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 2:17 PM
Its just too bad
that Nancy's mother did not have the "right to choose" before San Fran Nan was born. Now that WOULD be family planning.
Dose of Reality writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 2:09 PM
The word Progressive
Call these folks what they are, liberal, socialist, marxist etc. If you browse the dailykos and read all of their inbred posts and the logic they subscribe to, you will notice they never call themselves any of the above more accurate names, just progressives...
Wesley writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 1:39 PM
Progressive ideals never change...
... just the language does. In the teens and twenties, racism wasn't politically incorrect, so Progressives pushed family planning as a way to get the undesirables out of the gene pool. Now, they can't get away with suggesting that we promote a race killing their own children, so they talk about certain children being a drag on society, and that we should promote those undesirable children across races and some classes be prevented from being born. And it's all based on the false assumption that the state could better take care of its subjects if they limit their growth.
Teresa writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 1:39 PM
The results of "family planning"
More "family planning" = fewer people = less social security paid in = more money for Medicare = more taxes for you and me!
Wonna writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 1:32 PM
Pelosi needs to go
This woman should be kicked, dragged, pulled, voted, etc. out of any office of any kind for her incompetence; and a mental evaluation should be done post haste to facility her immediate confinement to an institution where she would have to spend the rest of her natural life away from the general public at large.

Another good example of the wickedness that resides in the hearts of the Liberals in this country.
my2centsplus writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 1:21 PM
Stupid.
Which of my eight kids do I send back? Our 'family planning' consisted of wanting and having a large family. Although I personally gave birth to none of our children, each was brought into our family, wanted and loved. Pelosi is a total idiot.

The Sheer Hypocracy
I have to hand it to the DEMS..at least they are "equal opportunity-diverse family planners"..the new , more "change" friendly term for abortion, no doubt...can you image if some politician said, "lets just eliminate the down kids..or the special needs kids.."..whew..nope, the DEMS will eliminate anyone to save a buck, instead of curbing spending...all in the pristine and non-threatning guise of "family planning"..(sky parts, birds chirp, chior sings.)

Cuban Pete writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 12:06 PM
Sure, by lefty lib logic...
...fewer people born on welfare = fewer welfare checks. Isn't that one of the major rationalizations of the pro-abortion, genocidal crowd? Society should not allow anyone to be born into poverty - too much suffering; if they are born into poverty, the state needs to subsidize them. So if they are killed off preemptively, the state will save the money.

It also provides for a "greener" planet. People are the only cause of evil polution on earth, ergo, fewer people = less polution = greener planet. It's a multiple win situation for them to advocate this type of genocide!

News Update: Pelosi on Crack
Again. The woman needs to be voted out of office for incompetence...or better yet maybe the people will wake up to all these mindless spending schemes and the Republicans will get the edge in the 2010 elections.

I think we the people need to come up with job criteria the the house and senate leaders so that they meet basic common sense criteria. What fools they are.
