Democrats love “abortion on demand.” Always have. And that disgusting fetal organ harvesting scam being run by government-subsidized abortion provider Planned Parenthood? They’re on board with that, too … (as are some “conservatives,” too).
Still, shouldn’t they at least be required to answer a question or two on it? Or outline their position on the gruesome practice of late-term abortions?
Apparently not …
During this week’s Democratic presidential debate, not a single abortion-related question was asked of any of the candidates.
Really?
Obviously all of them are militantly pro-choice, but come on … not a single question?
“Democrats got a free pass on their abortion extremism,” said Susan B. Anthony list president Marjorie Dannenfelser. “Moderators failed to pose a single question on the candidates’ support for abortion on-demand, up until the moment of birth. Nothing on taxpayer funding of abortion. Nothing on Planned Parenthood. Nothing on late-term abortion and the GOP move to stop it. Nothing.
“This silence speaks,” Dannenfelser added. “It says ‘Avoid. We are on the wrong side of the abortion debate.’”
That’s true …
This website never wore its pro-life views on our sleeves. But then Kermit Gosnell happened. And Planned Parenthood happened. And now we’re kicking ourselves for not being more aggressive in standing up for the most essential right you can have in a free society – the right to take your first breath.
We’re going to do better …
In the meantime, the mainstream media should do a better job of challenging candidates on the big issues – not giving them passes.

After that Planned Parenthood scandal, Dems are going to avoid that topic as much as they can.
Scandal: you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
scan – dal
noun
Manufactured witch hunt using heavily edited footage to win political points with your own moronic base.
And yet Planned Parenthood has changed its policy.
Read it for yourself. http://ppfa.pr-optout.com/ViewAttachment.aspx?EID=mr9WXYw4u2IxYnni1dBRVmiqCFHVBXQWHDzndIMBxKo%3d
Spin
yep…before the indictments come
“Spin”
You mean like The Bible?
Yeah! That whole crusifiction thing looked really bad for our side. But we managed to turn it arround.
LOL
They made it a sacrament.
Where have you been?
I’m in Orange, Ca. I abandoned the redneck capital of the world, for the parched origins of LSD and Jim Morrison.
Didn’t I tell you?
I’m a software assassin…. Samurai.
Apparently, some senior software engineers were riding the clock for 30 years, and an entire corporation’s code base fell into disrepair. I’m going to take their ancient, rusty, pitted antique and remake it into the mirrored finish, razor sharp hard steel implement of death that it was intended to be.
It was either take this contract, or spend another week standing naked while nubile young strippers throw little pickles at me.
I miss you on here!
Nubile young strippers getting to throw little pickles at you? I am so jealous!
Let me tell you, those little pickles develop a life of their own after a while, and though it never loses *all* of its charm – once you’ve seen one perfect, nubile French-Canadian limpet, you’ve pretty much seen them all…. it sounded a lot better when I first agreed to it 7 years ago, but creating hand-crafted throat slitting devices for fat men in expensive suits waddling through Escher-like mazes of cubicles containing zoned-out clock-watchers sounded irresistible by comparison.
Perhaps the attraction was more closely related to escaping the smothering air of Texas…. it’s hard to say.
“Perhaps the attraction was more closely related to escaping the smothering air of Texas…. it’s hard to say.”
Certainly sounds like a tough choice! LOL
So the manufactured witch hunt using heavily edited footage accomplished something? Guess Republicans will dig up more footage to heavily edit to start new witch hunts then!
Planned Parenthood disiplined its employees and apologized for its actions.
Look at Clinton avoid it
CLINTON: Well, look, you know, when people say that —
it’s always the Republicans or their sympathizers who say, “You can’t
have paid leave, you can’t provide health care.” They don’t mind having
big government to interfere with a woman’s right to choose and to try to
take down Planned Parenthood. They’re fine with big government when it
comes to that.
Pretty much all they were going to say is some bs talking points about supporting “women’s rights” and how the GOP hates women or whatever.
How is it BS? Planned Parenthood is one of the largest organizations supporting low income and minority women with health issues. In fact most of the federal money they get is from accepting MEDICAID (of course Republicans would love to shut that down too but not MEDICARE because Fuck You, Got Mine). Shutting PP down would be a direct assault on the health of poor women nation wide and not to mention on the increase poverty it would cause from unwanted births because they aren’t around to provide contraceptives.
There is poverty today because of unwanted births. Why spare the lives of these unwanted children just because they survived long enough to be born?
Yeah, there’s no doctors that accept Medicaid other than pp….oh wait.
Plenty of states didn’t expand the Medicaid option and a lot of the working poor are still uninsured for that reason. I fall into the group that don’t qualify for Medicaid or the ACA reimbursement. So I pay full freight for my insurance – which fortunately for the moment I can afford. Family doctors charge you a co-pay to see them and depending on your plan it could be $10 or $100 . Also with the ACA plans you are only entitled to one free wellness visit a year. Then you have STD testing – imagine some people would rather go to PP than their family doctor with the testing showing up on their insurance.
If poor people are one thing, it’s they’re notorious for scouring the EOBs and contacting their insurance companies/medicaid to be sure the appropriate charge code was applied by the doctors office. They’re WAY more likely to do that than see someone in their neighborhood walk into a building labeled “STD TESTING CENTER” with protesters screaming at everyone who enters.
I say we take this right to the next level. Not only should we pay for STD tests, but we should also fund secret STD testing facilities so you won’t be embarrassed by an STD test appearing on an insurance statement. Planned Parenthood should be given millions to set up fake businesses that look like regular stores, but give secret STD tests in the back to avoid embarrassment.
For that matter, we should probably also pay for a rental car so people don’t see your car outside a doctor’s office, possibly getting an STD test, a fake person to walk around with your cell phone so significant others can’t check you cell phone to see that you’re in a doctor’s office possibly getting an STD test.
It’s not a right unless you are free to exercise it in secrecy provided at taxpayers expense.
You mean like religion?It’s not a right unless you are free to exercise it in secrecy provided at taxpayers expense.”
You mean like religion?
Lol no way. I only support rights that are listed in the constitution like abortion
LOL So now all medical procedure have to be listed in the constitution. No move Viagra for you and your limp weenie – it is not in the constitution.
(Thinks medical procedures are constitutionally guaranteed)
(Doesn’t think – just sputters)
?
PP does Pap Smears, and one or two other non-abortion tests. The rest of their business is abortions. There are MANY other women’s programs which have many more women’s services (such as mammograms) and ONLY serve the poor. They do NO abortions. Actuarially speaking, if PP went away entirely, the poor would not miss them at all. However, thousands of rich pregnant college women would have no place to dump their spuds.
“PP does Pap Smears, and one or two other non-abortion tests”
You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about – do you think because you are posting this on a blog and it appears on the internet that folks will just believe it? Good grief!
The clues are in the facts. Democrats have great difficulty with facts. It keeps them from bullying. PP is a corrupt sewer which seduces innocent women into believing that murdering the unborn is a feminist heaven. And, of course, you religiously believe the mistatments of fact which prop up your arguments.
Care to back up any of the “facts” that you posted, honey? (No – I did not think so). For the record, PP has never seduced me into doing anything – much less having an abortion. Prattle on about the unborn – when Republicans start caring about the born come back and talk to me.
The videos are on YouTube for all to see. Also, I am not surprised to read that you don’t have to be seduced into believing that murder is a feminist right.
I’m certainly not surprised that you slurped up the heavily edited video’s – did you find any back-up for those “facts” that you posted – that PP only provides PAP Smears and one or to other services?? LOL Why am I even bothering to respond to you? I must be losing it!
” . . .how the GOP hates women or whatever.”
LOL Why not call a spade a spade?
And I guess you believe that Gowdy’s Benghazi Committee is not political, huh?
You can always count on Jackie!
You seem dumb
You are dumb.
Embarrassing retort
Yawn.
Abortion is a Foreign Policy Issue
The US and it’s allies are not just in a military conflict with ISIS, but are also in an ideological conflict. ISIS may destrory historical treasures, behead prisoners and rape and enslave women, but there is one thing they have never been accused of. They have never performed abortions and sold the parts.
Well praise Allah and his prophet Mohammad, we have a new set of heroes!
The problem is that we are closer than we like to believe.
Did you know ISIS supports the gold standard? I’d say there’s a certain party they have a lot in common with.
Never supported the gold standard, it is unpopular among both parties.
During the Civil rights era President Kennedy was concerned about the criticism by the Soviet Union of our treatment of Blacks. We didn’t want to become like the USSR, but never the less the criticism was valid and weaked US standing in the world.
Like the Democrats and the KKK – when you get THAT extreme, as Obama has taken the Democrat Party, the people vomit in disgust.
I think that’s where we are with the Democrat Party, today.
Under Obama, and the fear of being called Racist, the Democrats were given everything they demanded…and it exposes them for EXACTLY who, and what, they are…And that is their WORST enemy.
Mutilating babies, shooting down white policemen, total chaos in the Mideast, unusable un-insurance for payers, and 50 million on food stamps cannot be spun by people who base their existence on HATE anyone not like you.
@FITS – Why should the Dems be expected to answer a question about government funded late-term abortion and selling dead baby body parts? Is their any question that the Dems aren’t ok with that?
Abortion is a constitutional right. Just like guns. What’s to debate? If you think that the government can regulate the constitutional right to abortion, then you concede that the government can also regulate the constitutional right to bear arms.
Fetus fondler.
Why ask a question about something they all agree on? You know what else they didn’t ask about at the Democratic debate? Evolution. Why would the Democratic debate discuss invented GOP talking points and feed their fantasies on Bullshit Mountain?
Whoa there folks. The Democrats have no unwillingness at all to debate abortion. In case you were asleep at the time, there were NO QUESTIONS asked about abortion. Try not to forget for a moment that this is a pro-choice country. 65% oppose reversing Roe v Wade. I encourage you so-called “small government” types to continue to advocate for government intervention into women’s personal decisions. What staggering hypocrisy!
