House Democrats slip abortion language into bill to end partial shutdown

House Democrats have inserted language to expand abortion access into a bill to end the partial government shutdown set for a vote Thursday.

The spending bill would repeal a provision instituted by President Trump that requires foreign nongovernmental organizations to certify that they will not “perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning.” The provision, formally known as the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance policy, was once called the Mexico City Policy, known by critics as the "global gag rule."

The bill also would increase funding by $5 million for the United Nations Population Fund, to $37.5 million. Pro-life organizations oppose the program because they say it participates in coercive abortions and involuntary sterilizations.

It's a worldwide eugenics program. Those who will be a drain on society are eliminated.

This is why nothing can be done in DC. This has nothing to do with reopening up the government. Typical Democrat add in spending to every bill that has nothing to do with the subject matter of the bill.

Murder of innocent babies is all it is. What gets me are people like April Jackson who is such a hypocrite. Posts about Jesus and God and Bible things but then promotes the democrat party. What a liar she is. No wonder she has health problems. God is punishing her for her ugly and for lying about being a Christina. She is only fooling herself and unless she changes her evil ways God has her spot already picked out in hell for her where she will meet her creator the devil. Democrats can not be Christians. You don't get to pick and choose what parts of the Bible you want to follow.

It won't get through the Senate. I wish Nancy would take that smirk off her face. Her days are numbered. The young newbees won't put up with her.

Situation normal for our corrupt Congress that is our 1/3 of our government. It's how they shove laws on the people, that the people don't want. So much for being 'Representatives" of the people, in the Republic of the United States of America.
