Stop the presses. How would a self fund raising planned parenthood deprive women of their "rights".....?....Obama Threatens To Veto Planned Parenthood Defunding Bill
Not good news for all the opponents to abortion who want deprive women their rights, better life and health. The Planned Parenthood won`t be defunded. Obama will veto Republican anti-abortion bill. Voila! Yet some of his presidential projects could be appreciated.
Why does government need to be in the the parenting and family planning business.
Why can't PP accept donations from the private sector only?
Oh, will PP be defunded? Not without 60 votes in the Senate. Which means all is needed to to convince a few Senators from right leaning states that their seat would be in jeopardy if they don't go along. Once the Senate gets to that number, the vote would be veto proof.
Anyway, in the next administration, two things are getting the ax...Planned Parenthood and possibly that money bleeding inefficient rail system known as AMTRAK.....AMTRAK loses over $1billion every fiscal year. Now compared to the size of the typical federal budget $1 billion is a flyspeck. But it is a flyspeck that needs to go away.
Let the federal government float the system until such time as fares and increased to a level where the passengers are paying the full price of their trip and enough investment from the private sector becomes available. Air carriers are private sector. The rail system should be as well.
