Stimulate the economy. Kill an unborn baby.

Nancy Solomon Pelosi

Pelosi as Solomon?

Just got this from the NRCC. Somebody should tell Madame Speaker that concentration camps did wonders for the German economy back in the day, too….

Washington- Just weeks after Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH) cast her vote to elect Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House, Pelosi made “no apologies” for her intention to spend hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on family planning services to somehow “stimulate” the economy. Pelosi defended her efforts to include this funding as part of the Democrats’ so-called “stimulus” bill during an interview on Sunday when she appeared on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos.

Nancy Pelosi “seemed to imply babies are somehow a burden on the treasury.” (Drudge Report, 1/26/09)

The American people are hurting and the economy is in a recession. So as the Democrats’ record-breaking $825 billion bill is ready to be voted on this week, the voters in New Hampshire deserve to know: Does Carol Shea-Porter agree with Nancy Pelosi that taxpayer-funded contraception will help the economy?

“Now we know what Carol Shea-Porter really meant on the campaign trail when she said she would protect the middle-class,” said NRCC Communications Director Ken Spain. “Carol Shea-Porter promised to protect New Hampshire’s middle-class values, but now her pick for Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, is trying to use taxpayer dollars to pass out birth control in what she calls an attempt to ‘stimulate the economy.’ Middle-class families in New Hampshire are hurting and they need a representative in Congress who will put their needs and values above the agenda of San Francisco liberal Speaker Nancy Pelosi.”

Nancy Pelosi’s defense of spending taxpayer dollars on contraception is just one egregious example of wasteful government spending included in the Democrats’ plan that ignores the needs of the middle class. According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), less than half of the Democrats’ stimulus plan will be spent in the next two years. The legislation contains 152 separate appropriations. Only 34 line items have estimates in the committee report estimating jobs saved. 117 appropriations have no job saving estimate at all.

House Republicans are on the side of the American taxpayer and have a plan that includes lower and middle-class tax cuts that will deliver fast-acting relief to Americans now and provide the resources to create real jobs.

These so called women make me ashamed to be in their gender group. What happened to women taking responsibility for their own lives. If a women cannot afford birth control she certainly cannot afford to have a child. No birth control is 100% dependable. If she is with a man who cannot afford birth control she should not be having sex. Why would these so called women tell woman to rely on the government instead of taking control of their own lives is beyond me.
Second our social security system and other government programs our Ponzi schemes we need more people paying into the system not less They must have failed economics as well.

Thanks for the less-than-enlightening and wonderfully off-topic exposition, Cathy.
As for the post, let’s see…equating contraception with abortion: Check. Equating abortion with muder: Check. Equating, by some twisted version of the transitive property, contraception with murder: Extra credit!
Yup, this is a really dumb–and thus pretty typical–Granite Grok entry.

Pelosi disgusts me and don’t hold your breath. Carol Shea-Porter you disgust me too. You will likely vote right along with Pelosi as you have 100% of the time in the past, putting these radical agendas ahead of what is good for our state and country.
Sending $500M to Kenya for abortions does NOT stimulate the US economy Mr. Obama. That’s right MISTER. You are not my president.
You are bankrupting this country on behalf of the foreign bankers who put you in office.
In 2012 we’ll need Palin to come in and clean up your mess, and get rid of the Federal Reserve so we can have legal solvent currency!

I think Peschke’s post was quite on topic and kemibe’s was inappropriate and a personal attack.
Plus notice it didn’t explain how this helps the economy?
Pretty typical for liberal know-nothings — never answer the question, just attack the person who asked it.

“I think Peschke’s post was quite on topic and kemibe’s was inappropriate and a personal attack.”

Peschke’s comment asserted that women who use contraception are irresponsible, cannot afford it without the government’s help, are not prepared to have children (which, you should know, is normally not a goal of people using birth control), and so on. It also implies with its ignorant “more-people, better-economy” stance that people who don’t have kids are not capable of working and contributing to the GNP. Therefore, it was was complete crap.

Then again, if you think it’s a personal attack to point out how silly it is to freely interchange terms like abortion, killing, and birth control, you cant be expected to make sense yourself.

“Plus notice it didn’t explain how this helps the economy?”

I didn’t make claims one way or the other about the impact on family size of the economy (although China with its booming economy and limitations on children is an interesting case study); my comments were directed first and foremost at Doug’s laughably alarmist (and plain wrong) post title and secondarily at Peschke-who, by the way, didn’t explain how more children would help, something you conveniently failed to notice while taking me to task over the same thing.

“Pretty typical for liberal know-nothings — never answer the question, just attack the person who asked it.”

Awww, that hurts. Can I whine about this “personal attack” like you would? And pray tell, what question did I fail to address? I don’t see one, just a mess of conjecture and bunk. Also, just because I’m smarter than you are doesn’t make me a liberal.
