Passed $1.3T bill passes $500M to fund abortions

Jim Sedlak of the American Life League: “It means that the government – which was elected in 2016 on the pretense that it would stop the funding of Planned Parenthood – simply has not taken money away from them ….They are going to give them another half a billion dollars in 2018.” OneNewsNow

NewPerhaps good to parse this out

Technically, it’s not money for abortions directly, but rather for other services. The rub is that you simply can’t get enough “business” to keep an abortuary solvent through abortion alone, and a lot of hospitals won’t grant admitting privileges to (or hire) abortionists because pro-life people (and I’d guess a lot of pro-choice people) don’t want to patronize an abortionist for other services. The funding here, then, makes PP the vendor of choice for a range of services and keeps their clinics solvent.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
