June 22, 2007

Good morning - I did not get a lot of sleep last night because I was at the office until 11:00 p.m. waiting for final votes. This morning I am a bit ticked off because of legislation that was passed in the House last night.

Last night the House of Representativse rejected Bush administration policies that denied aid foreign groups that provide...... abortions. The issue was brought to the floor during the State-Foreign Operations appropiations bill. The bill is HR2764.

In recent years the House has passed legislation called The Mexico City law which was named after the policy of then President Ronald Wilson Reagan in 1984. President Reagan signed a bill that restricted any assistance to organizations abroad that perform or promote abortions as a method of family planning.

So what did you expect? The Democrats get into power and reverse every pro-life legislation that Republicans have fought to pass over the many years they were in the majority. I am outraged that the Democrats (and probably a couple of wobbly Republicans) voted to allow funds to be given to murdering babies. When you submit your taxes next year I want you to think that perhaps some of your hard earned money is being used to fund the slaughter of babies. The Democrats cannot seem to understand that we are in a global war against Islamic extremism and refuse to accept that we are in a war but for abortion - hey, they are there...ready to fight. I will hand the administration the face that they had stood strong and steadfast on pro-life issues and the need to be commended for this. In 2008, voters do have a choice - America is a pro-life country. Over half of the country is against abortion, but how long can we keep fighting to the courts. We want the right to vote on these issues - 08' is coming soon... We, the American people, have a choice to vote for life.
