RINO Sen. Scott Brown Says He Supports Taxpayer Funding For Planned Parenthood…
Disappointment.
(The Hill) — Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown (R) said Tuesday he does not support a GOP proposal to slash funding for Planned Parenthood, saying the cuts go too far.
Brown is the second GOP senator to oppose the measure, which House Republicans want to attach to a long-term spending bill.
“I support family planning and health services for women,” Brown said in a statement. “Given our severe budget problems, I don’t believe any area of the budget is completely immune from cuts. However, the proposal to eliminate all funding for family planning goes too far.”
House Republicans have pushed for language cutting $300 million in federal aid and grants to Planned Parenthood, which provides abortions. The federal Hyde Amendment prohibits federal funding for abortion services, but anti-abortion rights activists and conservative lawmakers insist federal money that goes to Planned Parenthood for contraception and other reproductive health services could help indirectly fund abortions.

pos rino scum
America got one (so-called) Tea-Party candidate elected to The Swimmer’s old seat. They can do it again. Hopefully, they’ll find a real one this time.
Well, what did you expect with a Republican from Taxachusetts? This ain’t no Georgia Republican.
Fetuses don’t vote.
Fkn pimp
Disappointing?? Yeah, it is…
Unexpected? Not in the least… And just to be sure I have my info correct, didn’t Sarah Palin push like hell to get him elected?? “?
Well I guess there goes the consevative of the year award…
Scott Brown is the definition of RINO. Not sure if a Dem in the seat would have mattered much.
Every Senator has a price – looks like Scott Brown (nose) is no different to any other MA senator.
He`s Martha Coakley is a suit and tie.
This guy has been a major disappointment!! He will not get my vote next time. What a buffoon.
Scott Brown has been the first to volunteer for a recall effort. My will be done does not resound with voters.
Why public funding? If it’s so good, the liberals can DONATE.
Is there a REAL man in Massachusetts?
I knew this guy was a ‘half-man’ when he was all tingly and excited about shooting hoops with the clown.
Anyone who thought he wouldn’t get all squishy when it comes to anything close to a social issue was self deluded. With him being from Massachusetts you have to know that if it comes down to fiscal sanity with a social issue involved he will default to the social issue first and foremost.
I have long conceded that you have to be able to handle the occasional RINO, especially in these Democrat strongholds. If he can show just a modicum of fiscal conservatism, when not confronted with a social issue snag, I will tolerate him.
Now, if he goes full blown wuss on every cost cutting proposal then the RNC better start thinking about getting a challenger ready for 2012.
Oh that night Scott Brown stood before all his supporters and claimed
victory for the seat our ex Senator and night swimmer Tubby Teddy
from Massachusetts once held this was one proud southern Georgia boy
who felt we were at last begin to heal our wounds in America……..
It seems that the last few years all i have been able to do is keep the egg
wiped from my face and say, boy, was i ever wrong!!!!!
Vote for you once, shame on you
Vote for you twice, never
can someone explain something?
Planned Parenthood provides contraceptions, etc to prevent pregnancies in the first place, they also do a lot of screening for cancers and help women who cannot afford in, these centers tend to be low income areas.
While I am pro-choice, I respect and agree that no federal funding should go to abortions, so why can’t these bills in congress fund no abortions yet still provide preventative contraceptions to lower income women and still provide other health services to women??
Mike Pence, a pretty staunch social conservative, says these things can be seperated out, so why aren’t they?
Have like a 2 strikes, you’re out for any planned parenthood center that provides funding for abortions;
but still fund the other health services to women.
why can’t these things be seperated out? So I have my facts wrong?
I wish I’d never sent this pud polisher a contribution. If his people call me again, I’m going to tell them to fuck off along with their Democrat Lite.
I support taxpayer funded abortion for people like you.
Jerk!
Dear Senator, Which of your daughters would you have had aborted?
gaybait rino, go pose for blueboy
When you have video evidence of several PP workers in different cities eagerly offering to help a pimp with underage prostitutes fudge the records to get care, cutting off funding is not enough. Yeah, PP is all pink and lacy and pretty when they talk about the services they offer for women, but their main business is killing. I don’t want any of my money going for overhead for a clinic that does abortions or paying the salary of a person who is aware child abuse is going on and does nothing about reporting it.
So, Mr. Brown..we’ll just continue to pour the money into Planned Parenthood, and once all the furor is over, it will be business as usual with no reform.
He, Scott Brown, wants to keep the memory of Ted Kennedy working. Only good thing is he is not 100% liberal, yet. And that is a big yet.
To all that ridiculed me for my “red flag” statement about Brown’s Cosmo. pictures: apology excepted.
Looks like Scotty Brown has been possessed by the spirit of Ted Kennedy
Well, he can support it with his own taxpayer money. I’m broke.
One and Done, Mass-hole..
Former Dem – even if the ‘taxpayer funds’ ‘only’ go to paying for exams, birth control (which, you know, some people even have issues w/ THAT) and rent, it frees up money to be used to subsidize abortions. So, the ONLY way to give $$ to PP w/o “funding” (or at least contributing to) abortions is for PP to get out of the abortion biz.
Which they won’t.
Funny thing is, many of the folks that feel this way about abortion funding have NO compunction about taking ‘my’ tax money and giving it to religious institutions (i.e. schools) in the form of vouchers.
Schools to include Madrassas, no less.
Yeah, scrub THAT duck…
We have 5 mores years of this jerk voting Democrap…. augh!!
@Pete(Detroit)
I wish there were a way to earmark taxpayer funding exclusively for services such as exams, birth control, wellness checks, etc. With all of those attorneys in Congress, why hasn’t somebody come up with some wording that would exclude abortion from the services provided with taxpayer funds. That would go far, for those of us who agree that the poor need this assistance. Abortion should be separated from generic services, and be put in a category of “extreme” procedures. If extreme procedures are not included in the funding guidelines, abortion would not be permitted with taxpayer dollars. If someone is so driven that they want to pay for that service, with their own money, that is a different story.
I believe that there are viable alternatives to abortion, which I have stated several times before. But, if I can only have a say over my contribution to the process, by way of my tax-dollars, than so be it. I AM concerned about those women who will seek termination in the wrong places, but, the fact that a person is willing to risk their life to avoid a full-term pregnancy, instead of seeing the pregnancy through, and then have a say/contribute in finding a loving home for the child, is a concept I can’t understand.
I am a guy, so maybe I am looking at this thing in a simplistic way. If so, please forgive my naivete, as I do not mean to offend, or negate another person’s situation. I just believe that every child has a RIGHT to a “chance at life”.
