At the rally, Planned Parenthood supporters were instructed by organizers to not respond to protesters.
Republicans say the issue is a matter of conscience that will define America going forward.
As this debate moves forward toward the next election I would hope that Republicans and conservatives take the opportunity to remind voters that our entire system of government is, to varying degrees, a flexible and constantly shifting beast. Mike Lee, both Republicans, have already weighed in with their thoughts on a potential shutdown. That way the shutdown would be his fault.
Twelve days remain until then, but Congress is scheduled to be in session only part of that time.
The intraparty feud has also spilled into the GOP presidential race. Organizers from Planned Parenthood instructed supporters to not engage with protesters. Ayotte asked presidential candidate and Texas Sen.
“I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes”.
“We need to set our sights higher than that”, Mr. Obama added. The images described by Fiorina, as has been pointed out by media fact checkers, don’t exist. The scene she described never explicitly happened in any of the videos.
Keep in mind that more Planned Parenthood videos are waiting in the wings, says ACG Analytics.
Should the remains of aborted fetuses be used for medical research?
Military veteran and Planned Parenthood (PP) clinic escort John Till did not react when a conservative Christian minister stood inches from his face, calling on him to protect women from abortion. They were all doing their best to imitate the Gipper, but none came close.
A half hour later, she tweeted, “Cutting off Americans from lifesaving health care at Planned Parenthood is wrong”.
What does all this mean for a hypothetical Planned Parenthood provision?
“Like, ‘Hey, do you know what’s happening in your neighborhood?’ We want to open your eyes to this, because God-these are his children”, Thomas said.
But the videos do contain several moments that have raised controversy.
I understand that the Democrats and their media allies have somewhat uniformly adopted this particular talking point as part of the fight against repealing or significantly diminishing the ACA, and from a strictly political strategy perspective I can’t blame them. I don’t know what he would do.
Here, let me Google that for you. But see, we don’t, we’re not in it for the money. “We are telling low income families in every corner of this country that we count there health and happiness less”, said Rep. Joseph Kennedy III, D-Mass. The bill would also require medical practitioners or employees of hospitals, clinics or physician’s offices to report to law enforcement agencies any violation they witnessed.
This total capitulation to Democratic demands will be very hard for House and Senate Republicans to stomach.
Planned Parenthood receives about $450 million in federal funds annually. The government probably won’t actually shut down.
The 16-day government shutdown in 2013 cost this nation somewhere between $2 and $6 billion in GDP growth.
Fundamentalist Christians hate PP because a small fraction – about 3 percent – of the group’s services include helping women to end unwanted pregnancies, largely through referrals.
Thirdly, another misconception is that federal money is funding abortions, which only makes up a fraction of Planned Parenthood’s services. “All of our elected representatives should commit to holding Planned Parenthood accountable for its crimes”, Daleiden, the founder of the CMP told Business Insider.
Boehner has faced – and survived – similar threats in his almost five-year tenure as speaker.
But there is no end game yet for the House.
“The leaders have not made any decisions on the (continuing resolution) yet, and no options have been ruled in or out”.
Republican leaders, who have a fraught relationship with right-wing lawmakers, are concerned about being blamed for a shutdown, particularly after the party vowed to use its biggest majority in the House of Representatives since the 1920s to govern responsibly. Kelly Ayotte (R-New Hampshire), who is up for re-election in 2016.
“There’s nothing principled about the idea of another government shutdown“, Mr. Obama said in the video. I think that, again, this gets back to whether you respect a woman’s right to choose or not. Conciliatory discussions with the White House?
