Bush!! Stops funding for international family planning groups offering abortions


Recommended Posts

depressing isn't it. i bet a lot of women who voted for bush didn't expect this. oh well - let's see what 5 years bring. i think women will start slipping over the border to canada and mexico the way things are going.

These actions are textbook as far as I'm concerned.......I mean, did people who voted for Bush actually expect something different once he took office???? Don't tell me you all bought his rhetoric from the debates and such......the man is a professional con-artist among other things......we're in for it.

here in N.Y. state nothing has changed and

most likely will not change anything regarding the abortion law. The article b2b

was referring to was only federal funding

for overseas countries where abortion is allowed but lacked funding to follow through.

if i am not mistaken.

Well yeh it says 'international agencies which support women seeking an abortion'. But he does say he will take it further closer to home, and this implies he may do just that.

Anyway, were you taking the piss in your other post? And why?

What an IDIOT... my God, this asshole makes me so mad. Did anyone else notice his "education priorities?"

"introducing more student testing...

punishing and rewarding states depending on pupil performance"

What does this mean? Basically, public schools are going to have no choice but to "teach to the test" or be denied funding (!!!) (Everyone I know and I are VEHEMENTLY opposed to standardized testing), which will further decrease the quality of public education... thanks for NOTHING, you moron... first you screw up Texas's educational system, and now you want to fuck up the entire country's...

This move is classic politics .. Bush has to throw a bone to the pro-lifers, even though he knows the populace is too split on abortion to make any real changes to domestic law ...

... but after 8 years of hedonistic partying, we've got another uptight prick in charge of the world's only superpower ...

.... the "dreaded R-word" in politics is not "recession", it's "Republican" ...

ummm . . . does anyone else realize that AIDS IS A FUCKING EPIDEMIC IN AFRICA?!?!

cutting funds to planned parenthood type organizations doesn't just mean to abortion activism. it also effects condom distribution and general education which the US has been involved in.

this is bullshit.

We are so fucked. This man is a puppet for all the most evil ultra conservative jackasses this country has produced. He wants a racist for Justice, a corprate interest for Interior, and now the Christian Right doing Social programing and Education. DAMAGE CONTROL EVERYONE- Vote in an opposing congress next term. Meanwhile, I'm gonna send my absentee ballot from Sydney...anyone wanna come? We could still hit Ibiza in the summers!

Now if tries to enforce it here (which he won't) then it would become an issue.

Think of it this way...if there isn't funding for other countries for education and condom distribution, abortion, birth control, etc. more women will become pregnant, therefore causing more population, etc. etc. In the end, aid will be given to these countries anyway, whether in the form of birth control or food for the larger population....hope that made sense.

This is the bone he throws to the pro-lifers who helped elect him, true. He KNOWS if he tries that in his own country, he'll be hanged, drawn, and quartered (politically, anywho). With a split legislature, it'll be tough for him to do anything so widely unpopular on his own shores...

I say give him some time to pander to those he must, then see what happens when he starts trying to move legislation through Congress. Remember, what we might see as ass-backwards, others might see as the best thing ever to come from Washington. We must be cautious not to fall into the same narrow-mindedness (at the other end of the political spectrum) that we accuse others of, lest we marginalize ourselves. Listen to the other side. See how they and their ideas work - or do not - and fight on that, not on "what an asshole, he did something I don't like so he MUST be an idiot." Take lessons from the opposing side, and never forget to keep learning all points of view.

Just my opinion, worth what you paid for it.

Yes, but remember girls . . .if you're a smoker and you've taken the birth control pill for at least 5 consecutive years and you're 28 and older then you have increased chance of having cancer. I know TWO friends that got them. cwm36.gif

I use condoms EVERY single time . . . it protects you from unwanted pregnancy and STD. It may be annoying and uncomfortable at times but better safe then sorry.

As to Bush . . . this doesn't surprise me one bit. kaspr, you asked why? Well I believe somebody already answered that questions. The federal fund doesn't just aid abortion, they also use that fund to distribute condoms and to educate people. The lack of education was what brought the AID epedemic to the US and spread it like wild fire. As to the comment Bush won't try that here at home? Think again.

Condoms aren't 100% effective. There is always the chance that the condom can break or can slip off at the wrong moment. I addition, people who choose to have sex must protect themselves and find a contraception that is suited for them.There is always the choice to get sterilized if that what the womans wants if she is absolutely positve she doesn't wants children in the future.

That doesn't save you from the diseases out there.
