Omnibus Bill Includes Taxpayer-Funded Abortions in D.C.
Abortions, otherwise known as the left’s preferred method of birth-control…
Via Weekly Standard:
The FY11 omnibus undermines the prohibition on abortion funding in the District of Columbia, which Democrats overturnde last year to fund abortions in Washington for the first time in many years. Because Congress approves all D.C. appropriates it can determine whether tax dollars can pay for abortions or not.
The legislation allocates $327 million for the Title X Family Planning Program which provides funding to groups like Planned Parenthood. This is a $10 million increase over last year and a $44 million increase over the last four years.
The omnibus also allocates $710 million for international family planning/reproductive health which provides funding to organizations that promote and perform abortion overseas. This is a $62 million increase over last year and a $270 million increase over the last four years.
Further, the appropriations bill establishes an Office of Global Women’s Issues at the department of State headed by an Ambassador-at-Large, and the position of Gender Integration and Development Advisor at USAID. In prior efforts to establish these positions and offices, pro-life leaders have expressed concern that the offices will support international efforts to promote abortion.
Also, new language added to the gender-based violence section directs the Secretary of State to ensure international aid programs are consistent with United Nations Security Council resolutions 1820 and 1888. These resolutions affirm the CEDAW Convention which the U.S. has not ratified and pro-life groups oppose because CEDAW provisions have been interpreted as grounds to overturn pro-life laws.

This horrid monster bill has been shelved. The uproar caused by DeMint and the conservatives got through to Dingy Harry.
it figures as murder is the leftists answer to all problems, if they resist kill them ,truly DEMONICRATS.
Communists can never kill too many humans. They love their work.
Is McRINO going to stop this? It’s one of the very few issues he’s been distinguishable from his Communist “freinds” across the isle.
What is wrong with black America? The Democrats advocate and pay for the killing of their off spring. Make no mistake about it, Federal funding of abortion is aimed at minorities.
The Senate didn’t have the votes for this mess, Reid folded like a cheap suit- we’ve won this one, CR is what’s been done in this instance.
Job well done by many in the Senate as well, of course DeMint, but some on the opposite side feared voting for this too. Their jobs mattered for the next election, McCaskill (sp) is one of them…was fun listening to what I could of this.
WHAT OMNIBUS ?????
Try to keep up !!!! THERE AIN”T NO STEENKING OMNIBUS !!!!!!
Demint WON WON WON !!!!!! Reid just pulled it, and is going to cave to a CR ( Continuing Resolution ).
OMNIBUS IS DEAD !!!!!!!
One reason – Ron Wyden is going home for cancer surgery. Check Hot Air for details

Best wishes to him as a human being, and at the same time, damn good thing he’s not in DC to vote for Reid’s agenda no mo !!!1!
I wish it had been something like ‘his hot water heater blew, and he had to go home to pump out the basement’, I don’t wish The C on anyone ( well, except maybe the misunderstanders of Islam ), but DAMN !!!!!
Reid’s Last Gasp Trillion is gone !!! Including the billion that was in it for fund Obamacare, and get the roots of that mess planted !!!
Yeeeeeeee hawwwwww !!!!
There were many many prayers answered today. I for one am thanking the one that answered them!! Thank God!!!!
DG -
Once again, you’re right. But isn’t it revealing that they’re more interested in saving their jobs than in doing what’s right for the Country and The People?
When will black voters wake up to the fact that their party likes them some abortion mills in predominantly black neighborhoods? Duh.
Hey, Dingy…(facepalm)
liberals have all the abortions… why wouldnt you want less of them… ??
want them to grow up and be aborted in your perpetual wars for profit
Beware of more Cloward-Priven tactics to come. I’d love to concentrate on the reason for the season but instead I’m sweating down Dec. 21, 22, 23, 24 and wondering how much crap they’re going to shove through. FCC is rearing its ugly head re/internet.
Culling the population of liberal “undesirables.”
As Walter Williams might way, the KKK can only dream of doing, what the leftist Democrat trash in this country have already done, and continue to do.
