GOP platform committee approves tough anti-abortion stance

Tampa, Florida (CNN) – Republicans drafting their party's official policy platform on Tuesday ratified a call for a Constitutional ban on abortion that makes no exceptions for rape or incest.The vote to endorse the party's long-standing opposition to abortion and support for a "human life amendment" took place at a meeting of the GOP's official platform committee in Tampa, the site of next week's Republican National Convention.

The party's official stance on abortion was approved after just a few minutes of discussion. The language in the platform must be voted on before the full Republican Convention next week, though Republicans say it is all but certain to pass.

Can you please show me where the GOP endorses creationism?

I can show you where the Democratic Party endorses completely unscientific claims - like those of Keynesian economics.

Are you a fundie because you're definitely dumb enough to be one

The National Republican Party platform objects to abortion even in cases of rape and Akin agrees with that so why split hair in regard to his reasoning.  I'd bet a dollar he's not the only fundie idiot in the congress who thinks woman have magic secretions to prevent pregnancy from a rape

Although creationism is not yet part of the national party platform it is part of about 20% of the state republican platforms and I'm sure the others are hard at work trying to add it.    Who knows, maybe the party will get around to adding it to the national platform this year

The Texas Republican party platform actually opposed critical thinking.
This is tailor made for an moron such as yourself
Shit, you're so fucking stupid if you move to Texas they might even make you a party leader

It's awesome that Akin is not only staying in the race but now giving shit back to the party "bosses" who are trying to kick him out.   Good for him.  All he did was repeat a completely absurd lie that has been debunked a hundred times but which ProLife fundies keep promoting anyway.   Repubs have had many opportunities to get their act straight and tell the truth but they've continued to promote a lie so why should Akin take the fall for their collective failure to act

This should make the Republican Convention interesting

Yet, despite this, he can still beat McCaskill. And, at the end of the day, Romney can keep rolling and boot Obama out of office.

In the event that happen, something tells me you're not going to think this is so "awesome".

Here are some of the reasons why (from an article I posted earlier).

Eleven reasons Akin didn’t quit
As one top Missouri Republican said this morning, "It's hard to reason with an idiot"
BY JEFFREY SMITH



Todd Akin declared Tuesday that he would not drop out of the U.S. Senate race in Missouri. Most East Coast journalists and politicos I’ve spoken with cannot fathom how Todd Akin could possibly remain a candidate. As a former Missouri politician who knows Akin, perhaps I can shed some light. Here are 11 reasons why he didn’t quit:

1. He’s 65 and it’s his last shot.

Often, party leaders will ease younger candidates out of races with promises of support for some future nomination. That won’t work with someone who gave up his House seat to run and who clearly doesn’t have a political future if he bows out.

2. His opponent, Claire McCaskill, hasn’t polled over 45 percent for 18 months.

This nomination is worth something when you have an incumbent who, when paired against just about anyone, has hovered in the low 40s since last spring. Most political scientists and operatives assume that most of the time, late-breaking undecided voters favor the challenger approximately 2-to-1, so any challenger appears to be in good shape.

3. He’s never been a deal-cutting legislator.

A leopard doesn’t change his spots. Akin has always been a true believer, and not a typical pragmatic pol, so it’s not in his character to cut a deal now.

4. His base is sticking.

Since he first got into politics, Akin has been a crusader for social conservative causes. Whether it was in support of home schooling or against abortion and gambling, Akin has not given an inch. And so the folks he stood up for are sticking with him, and for that matter, so is Mike Huckabee, whose support was critical in the primary.

5. He’s always been outspent.

The national party’s vow to withdraw financial support doesn’t bother him as much as it would most pols, since he’s been outspent in his two major primaries. As he has said, God has always pulled him through.

6. The establishment has never supported him.

In politics and life, you listen to the people you know and trust. Since the Republican establishment in Missouri and in D.C. never supported him, he owes them nothing now.

7. He has all the leverage.

He is the nominee in a state that Republicans must win if they are to take back the Senate. The National Republican Senatorial Committee and Karl Rove’s Crossroads GPS are not going to spend hundreds of millions around the country and then leave Missouri on the table out of stubbornness. Akin, an anti-gambling fanatic, should be smart enough to call their bluff.

8. Missourians seem to dislike McCaskill enough to overlook Akin’s idiocy.

An overnight poll by a respected firm taken after saturation coverage of Akin’s plight suggests that this whole affair didn’t change many minds; Akin still leads by a point.

9. The worst is probably over.

If he quits now, he’s a punch line forever; if he sticks, then (based on No. 9) he has a 50 percent chance of being a U.S. senator as well as a punch line.

10. Wounds take time to heal – especially when people pick at them.

John Brunner, a multimillionaire businessman whom Akin defeated in the primary, is positioning himself to step into the void if Akin quits, and some think he’d be a logical choice since he wouldn’t be burdened with fundraising and has no legislative record to defend. But Akin is still smarting from Brunner’s attack mailers in the primary, which compared Akin to Obama. And I suspect he doesn’t appreciate Brunner making his interest known so brazenly – and so soon after Akin’s misstep. The idea that Brunner, whom Akin just vanquished while being outspent approximately 5-to-1, could waltz in to replace him must make him seethe.

11. God told him to run and it may take God to tell him to quit.

Missouri politicians who have in the past tried to negotiate with Akin describe it as sort of like trying to negotiate with Ahmadinejad. He is a zealot, in every sense of the word. As one top Republican said this morning, “It’s hard to reason with an idiot.” Or maybe, it’s just hard to use worldly logic on someone who is divinely inspired.

I think #11 was a parting shot at Akin, after making the point that (despite this bungle), it's not that unreasonable to think he can still defeat McCaskill.

was it really a bungle since he actually believed what he said and the source of that belief has been floating around the Republican party for years and no major candidate or the party itself has repudiated that person or his beliefs

What pro-lifers promote, first and foremost, is that the baby in the womb is just that: A BABY!!!

You seem to have a problem with that.

Pro-life people promote doing as much as possible to let the baby LIVE; whereas, pro-choicers tend to look for any excuse to kill the unborn, as the lion's share of abortions have ZILCH to do with rape, incest, of the mother's life being in danger.

most people have a problem with calling a fertilized egg a "baby"

but how about crazier stuff you guys say such as:


1.  emergency contraception is an abortion pill
2. 97% of what Planned Parenthood does is abortion
3. Condoms don't work


those are three that immeidiately come to mind but I'm sure there are more

Let's not forgot that many prolifers still believe exactly what Akin said last week about pregnancy and rape

Please!!! By the time a woman even knows she's pregnant, "the fertilized egg" is WAY beyond that. It's a baby, with a heart, brain, lungs, etc.

but how about crazier stuff you guys say such as:


1.  emergency contraception is an abortion pill
2. 97% of what Planned Parenthood does is abortion
3. Condoms don't work


those are three that immeidiately come to mind but I'm sure there are more

1. In some cases, that's precisely what it is.
2. It's not what they do 97% of the time...BUT, it IS where they get a huge chunk of their money. Take out the abortion piece and see how long Planned Parenthood lasts.
3. They don't work in preventing certain STDs, namely herpes or HPV.


And why is it that liberals are all bent out of shape about ultrasound, before an abortion? What's the matter? Could it be that a woman might actually be led to believe that the entity in her womb is....GASP....a BABY?

Jesus I can't believe you actually wrote this and actually believe this.

Are there any doctors on this board who can enlighted McWay on this issue.   I really can't stop laughing long enough to be able to do it


1. In some cases, that's precisely what it is. - WRONG - it's NEVER an ABORTION - It PREVENTS CONCEPTION - Ask a doctor to explain it to you
2. It's not what they do 97% of the time...BUT, it IS where they get a huge chunk of their money. - Totally FALSE - the depth of your ignorance is just unbelievable.  I can't wait to see your source that shows revenue from abortion provides a large chunk of their money Take out the abortion piece and see how long Planned Parenthood lasts.
3. They don't work in preventing certain STDs, namely herpes or HPV - they work to prevent many STDs and they are definitley HIGHLY EFFECTIVE In preventing Pregnancy which is what were talking about.   Nothing is going to protect you from std's that can be transferred from skin-to-skin contact, like HPV (genital warts), syphilis, herpes


And why is it that liberals are all bent out of shape about ultrasound, before an abortion? What's the matter? Could it be that a woman might actually be led to believe that the entity in her womb is....GASP....a BABY?

McWay - thank you for so perfectly proving my point about the profound ignorance of prolifers such as yourself


Jesus I can't believe you actually wrote this and actually believe this.

Are there any doctors on this board who can enlighted McWay on this issue.   I really can't stop laughing long enough to be able to do it

McWay - check out this  picture of two babies

Yes I did write that. And here's why.

“Planned Parenthood continues to claim that abortion is three percent of its services in the 2010 report. By comparing the number of condoms, birth control pills, and other low cost items distributed to the number of abortions it commits, Planned Parenthood intentionally misleads the public and those in charge of providing government funding for its grisly business by painting a grossly inaccurate picture of what its business is all about,” the group says.

It adds:  “By comparing PP’s abortion income with its clinic income, we get a much more accurate picture of Planned Parenthood’s business model. In 2010, Planned Parenthood’s abortion income was 51.5 percent of its clinic income.”


http://www.lifenews.com/2012/01/05/planned-parenthood-51-of-its-income-comes-from-abortions/why.


Gee, take away the source of over HALF of Planned Parenthood's income and see how long it lasts.

As for the emergency contraception thing:

A woman who uses EC after unprotected sex clearly intends to prevent pregnancy. However, she may be quite unaware of "where" she is in her cycle (i.e., whether or not she has ovulated). Although she may not intend to abort, the drug's action of altering the endometrium to interfere with implantation may in fact abort the developing embryo.

This point cannot be overemphasized. Once an ovum is in the Fallopian tube, the process of fertilization may begin within 15 to 30 minutes after intercourse. Thus some researchers conclude that interfering with the endometrium "could explain the majority of cases where pregnancies are prevented by the morning-after pill" (J. Wilks, A Consumer's Guide to the Pill and Other Drugs at 154 [1997], citing F. Grou and I. Rodrigues, "The morning-after pill: How long after?", 171 Am. J. Obstet. Gynecol. 1529-34 [1994].) Without implantation, which occurs about a week after fertilization, the embryo cannot develop and will die.

Brown University associate professor of medicine, Ralph Miech, M.D., Ph.D., agrees. "This type of pill causes an abortion," he wrote in the Providence Journal on August 3, 1998. "From a pharmacologic perspective, this type of pill should be called an 'abortion-after pill'."

The question must be asked: "How is this contraception?" Women are being falsely led to believe that these pills are contraceptive in nature. But one of their common and intended modes of action is to prevent the development of the embryo, resulting in his or her death.

shit, pretty much the ONLY thing Repubs have done since they got in power in 2010 is abortion legislation and voter suppression legislation


Romney and Ryan are talking about economic issues, Medicare, and jobs. Meanwhile, the DNC just booked that hack, Sandra Fluke, as a keynote speaker at the convention.

You and the rest of the libs are howling about abortion, hoping to detract from Obama's pitiful record, namely the trillions in debt and 8% or higher unemployment for 43 straight months.

What pro-lifers promote, first and foremost, is that the baby in the womb is just that: A BABY!!!

You seem to have a problem with that.

Pro-life people promote doing as much as possible to let the baby LIVE; whereas, pro-choicers tend to look for any excuse to kill the unborn, as the lion's share of abortions have ZILCH to do with rape, incest, of the mother's life being in danger.

So you want to take away a womans right to save a bunch of cells with no consciousness, but when those cellls are a human you dont think it has a right to health(care) ???

McWay - good news for you and your fundie buddies.   You now longer have to depend on the speculation of a single doctor from 14 years ago.  There has been a bunch of new data in the last 14 years that concludes that Plan B is most definitely contraception.   I'm sure the fundie websites will scramble to update their sites and tell their fellow ProLifers to scratch this off their list of grievances.   If fact the NYT just wrote an article about all the research done in the past 14 years and so did Mother Jones

Quote
For over a decade, anti-abortion activists have objected to emergency contraception, claiming that it prevents already fertilized eggs from implanting in women's uteruses and therefore terminates pregnancies.

Just one problem: the science doesn't support them.

That’s according to an exhaustive New York Times article published this week that reviewed decades worth of science on how what's commonly known as the morning-after pill works. Most of this research took place after 1999, when Plan B and other similar drugs were first approved for the market.

Back then, the drug's mechanisms weren't well understood; pre-approval research focused on establishing that emergency contraception's active hormone safely and effectively prevented pregnancy when taken shortly after unprotected sex. While government scientists were satisfied the drug worked, they didn't have a clear understanding of exactly how it did; so the FDA label provided a laundry list of potential causes, including the one—interfering with the implantation of a fertilized egg in the woman's uterus—that has drawn fire from rock-ribbed pro-lifers.

Since then, the science has developed a much clearer picture of the drug's effects. Study after study has conclusively shown that emergency contraception (or EC) actually prevents egg release—and without eggs, naturally, fertilization can't happen, let alone implantation. Other studies have in fact shown that the drug is ineffective when taken after a woman has already ovulated. The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics has stated conclusively that the three emergency contraception drugs on the market "do not inhibit implantation."

More good news for you (though the actual #'s are irrelevent to me).  The link you provided to support your claim that Planned Parenthood gets a "large chunk" of their funding appears to be false (again, I'm sure you're relieved to hear this but I personally couldnt' give a shit if they got 100% of their revenue from performing abortion)

Since your link didn't work I found another fundie website who reviewed PP revenue sources from their 2008/2009 report and they received 155 million from abortions out of total revenue of 1.1 billion.    That means that abortion services provided only 14% fo their total revenue.   The best part about the link is that they chose to use those same #'s but didn't make the 14% figure their headline.  I wonder why not?
http://liveaction.org/blog/planned-parenthoods-revenue-comes-from-paying-non-abortion-customers/

Here's the really "Good News" so pay close attention.   You're fortunate enough to live in a country where no one can force their moral standard on to you.  Abortion is legal and if you don't want to have one you are totally free to make that choice.  No one can ever force you or someone you know to get an abortion.
Of course that also means that you don't get to force your standards on anyone else either.

http://www.lifenews.com/2012/01/05/planned-parenthood-51-of-its-income-comes-from-abortions/

As for the claim of abortion being a mere 14% of Planned Parenthood's total revenue in 2009, you might want to count that again:

In its previous annual report, covering 2009, planned Parenthood did 332,278 surgical abortions or abortions using the dangerous RU 486 abortion drug and its clinics across the nation brought in $404.9 million in revenues. Abortions dropped to 329,445 in this latest annual report and clinic income dropped to $320 million.

Using an estimate from the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, a former Planned Parenthood research arm that still receives funding from the abortion business for its abortion statistics and research, the average cost of an abortion is $468. Multiplying the number of abortions times the average cost and factoring that against the total income Planned Parenthood’s clinics derived, approximately $154 million of its $320 million in clinic (or 48 percent) income is derived from abortions.

I'm sorry!! Where on that graph does it state that NONE of the 61% of revenue from public and private donations goes toward abortion again?

Without government funding and a robust abortion business, it isn’t likely that Planned Parenthood would be able to keep operating in its current form. In short, for Planned Parenthood to survive as-is, they are beholden to advance a robust abortion business and engage in controversial political involvement in an attempt to keep the taxpayer funding flowing.

That's not changing the topic. Planned Parenthood gets a huge chunk of their money from government (and from private funding) to go towards abortion.

That's why liberals get bend out of shape, when you talk about whacking federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

The GOP's platform is to end taxpayer money going towards abortion (not condoms, not birth control pills, not cancer screenings, not vaccines, not the other services behind which liberals hide to justify their getting loot from Uncle Sam).....ABORTION.

Liberals would hardly be going bonkers about such (being a mere "3%" of what they do and all  ::) )....UNLESS a HUGE CHUNK of money from the government were going toward abortion. You'd think private donations and direct revenue would be sufficient.

14% of PP's money comes from revenue from abortion (i.e. actual paying customers)....guess what that means.

Without Uncle Sam's dollars, a huge chunk of their money that goes for abortions is.....GONE!!!

you have no proof of this statement

Other than you claiming that "PP gets a huge chunk of their money from the government to go towards abortions" you have absolute nothing to back up this claim and even at face value makes no sense

Abortion is only 3% of what they do (you've agreed to this already) and only 14% of their total revenue

I've got a hint for you to share with you fundie buddies

You don't need to make up lies to support your position on abortion

You are against abortion - period

The fact that it's only 3% of what PP does and only 14% of their total revenue is irrelevent

You want both of those #'s to be zero

No need to make up bullshit about different numbers or make claims you can't prove

Also, no need to make up bullship about rape not leading to pregnancy, condoms don't work,etc..

All that does is make you and your fundie buddies look like a bunch of morons

You're simply against abortion......period

If you can't defend the position without resorting to lies then maybe you need to reconsider your beliefs

Abortion is only 3% of what they do (you've agreed to this already) and only 14% of their total revenue

But, it doesn't equate to 3% of the money they're getting. The proof, at the very least, are the libs who go ape about bills and laws that defund Planned Parenthood.


You keep pretending that all this fuss is over "3%" of services. We can use the laughs.

There's no lying involved, especially when it comes to taking your claims apart. Once again, kindly point out in that graph where NONE of the government or private funding goes toward abortion.

All you lefties need to do, which we all know you lack the spine/balls to do, is put your money where your mouths are....literally.

Stop the federal funding for abortion, since you claim that it's only "3%" of its services. Keep all the other stuff; but cease the government funding for abortion.

But, that's not going to happen because, as I said, it's a huge chunk of PP's money. Take away the dough from Uncle Sam and PP collapses.

is this really the argument you're trying to make
do you know anything about business
do you think that every business has a 1 for 1 correlation between services provided and revenue generated
check out the economics of a movie theater or grocery store and get back to me

the chart shows their sources of revenue as a % of total revenue/funding

again, abortion services are 14% of total revenue

if you want to make the claim that government funds are used to pay for abortion services then it's up to you to prove that claim

As you well know Federal law prohibits this so if you have some proof you should get off the message board and contact your local fundie politician immediately

How many business get a third of their revenue from government again? That's what I thought.  ::)

Gee...federal law also prohibits illegal aliens from living in this country. How is that working again?

Funny how liberals get all bent out of shape about the GOP, trying to stop something that you claim either isn't happening or is illegal: federal funding for abortion.

Either the government is funding it or it's not. If there were no federal funding for abortions, neither side would have a case to make. So, yet again, you manage to shoot yourself in the foot, especially since you have YET to show that NONE of that government goes toward abortion.

Are you now going to suggest that both the GOP and Democrats are bickering over something that doesn't exist or is illegal?

"3% of services" is more fuzzy math that would land the average accountant in jail. 1 abortion (average cost: nearly $500) costs more than giving 50 girls a month's worth of birth-control pills, each (at $9 a pop).

Yet, if abortion makes for so little of PP's dough, then cut them off from the federal funding for abortion (which you claim doesn't exist or is illegal to do) and see how long it survives.

I'm sure there are defense contractors and many other businesses (think about the farmers who are getting their crops destroyed by heat this summer) who get LARGE chunks of their total revenue from the government

what does that do to prove your claim that "Planned Parenthood gets a huge chunk of their money from government to go towards abortion."

Oh yeah........it doesn't prove anything

again, if you have ANY proof that federal funds are being used to pay for abortions you can share it here and then with your fundie congressperson

you will be the HERO of the fundie anti abortion crowd

The proof is obvious, to all except clueless folks like you. Again, kindly explain why both the Dems go bonkers about cutting federal funding for Planned Parenthood, if NONE of that federal money goes to abortion.

Let's see the lefties back your claim and see how long Planned Parenthood survives with no federal funding going for abortion.

oh, ok now the proof is just "obvious"

the only thing that is obvious is that virtually every claim you made in this thread turned out to be false

again, why do you and your fellow fundies feel the need to resort to absurd lies

you're against abortion.....that's all you need to say

no need to make shit up in an attempt to support your position and doing so only makes you look stupid

Yes, indeed it's obvious, except for clueless folk like you.

The stuff I'm supposedly making up is making the libs get all discombobulated. All you have to do is cut funding for Planned Parenthood and the lefties lose it.

Now why is that, if that federal money ain't going to fund abortions? And where on that graph again does it state that NONE of that government money goes toward abortion?

Cut the federal funding for all abortion and this issue is pretty much settled. Yet, you lefties won't do that. I wonder why.
