(2009-01-25) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told ABC News’ George Stephanapolous Sunday that the Democrat’s economic stimulus bill, containing hundreds of millions of dollars for “family planning” services for the poor, will make real cuts in the number of low-income people, thereby saving taxpayer dollars, and increasing average income for everyone.
“Poor people are a luxury we just can’t afford,’ said Rep. Pelosi, “They cost us a lot of money to maintain; what with food stamps, housing and health care. So if we can rapidly reduce the number of poor people through contraception and abortion, that’s a net gain for federal and state budgets, and a fast track to economic recovery. Every poor baby prevented is like money in the bank.”
A spokesman for Planned Parenthood, the world’s leading abortion sales chain, confirmed Mrs. Pelosi’s
assertion, noting that “even if the stimulus bill helps harvest only the low-hanging fruit by reducing live births among blacks and hispanics, that would be a major boost, since minorities comprise nearly 50 percent of those on Medicaid.”
Planned Parenthood continues to lobby Congressional Democrats and the Obama administration to include even more funding in the stimulus bill for better marketing efforts to attract minority women who have not yet considered abortion as “a viable lifestyle choice.”
“Despite our best efforts to date,” the source said, “only 1-in-5 pregnancies ends in abortion. We need the marketing money to spur growth in what we call our frequent-flier segment. Blacks make up only about 13 percent of the population, yet they have 40 percent of the abortions. We still think there’s real upside potential there.”
The spokesman added that, “Planned Parenthood, since its inception, has been the Sam’s Club of abortions for minority communities. We keep the product cheap so our customers can buy in large quantities. What we lose in profit per procedure we more than make up for in volume. Of course, our work also helps reduce racial tensions by adhering to time-tested Darwinian principles.”

Increasing the abortion rate will also provide plenty of raw materials for the newly-revitalized embryonic stem cell (AKA “Baby-in-a-Blender”) industry which, within weeks, should begin returning millions of capable workers to the labor force who until now have been reduced to collecting disability payments.

You’re on the cutting edge, Scott.
From the Drudge headlines:
Pelosi: Abortion Helps Economy
If Ms. Pelosi’s, Barney Fwank’s, Harry Reid’s, and Maxine Water’s mothers had aborted them, I guess we wouldn’t be in this economic mess we’re in now, right? So I guess there is some truth to what she says.
Biden sees Afghanistan ‘uptick’; Warns of more casualties, ratchets up troop levels…
I thought “surges” didn’t work. But don’t expect the anti-war left to villify and demonize Obama/Biden for more American soldier deaths in an evil, imperialistic war. After all, any war this country is engaged in during the Obamessiah administration will be considered an “humanitarian effort”, even it it results in another Waco here at home.
14 tsadok40 // Jan 26, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Scott,
Another excellent post! But we must be careful to use the stats accurately, or our arguments lose credibility. The abortion stats you link to in the article show abortions classifed as “White” and “Black/Other”, i.e. non-white. The non-white does indeed make up 40%, but you can’t legitimately compare that to the stat of 13% blacks in the general population.
[Editor's Note: Although ScrappleFace is a satirical news source, we're more committed to getting the facts straight than the average mainstream media source. We'll grant that the way the CDC presents its data can lead to misunderstanding. In addition, it has become increasingly difficult to name a single race for many who have had abortions.
A Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report ("Legal Induced Abortion") had this to say on the subject of race:
CDC data for the year 2005, from a report released in November 2008, similarly indicates a much higher ratio of black abortions compared with whites.
Given the fact that virtually all abortion doctors (if not actually all) are white, perhaps only a cynic would draw attention to the racial makeup of their patients.
Color us cynical.]

The founder and “Mother” of Planned Parenthood, (sorry can’t think of her “filthy” name right now, Sanger perhaps?), actually said something along the lines of what P.P was meant for was, to keep blacks from overpopulating America!
The amazing thing is, this is STILL one of it’s goals, yet black’s in America, (being the MAJORITY users of P.P., and killers of aborted fetus’s), simply ignore that this is how Dems feel about them!
“Piglousy” has 5 or 6 children and as many grandkids. Guess her kids are BETTER than our’s!
And black people think Obama loves them. Don’t EVER forget, Obama is only “half-black”, (said in the voice of the AFLAC duck!)

Rather ironic that predominently white, middle class feminists would be the primary advocates of a medical procedure ending the life of a larger percentage of minority people. In any other realm, there would be riots in the street with those numbers. If our logic doesn’t work with these people,maybe we need to turn it upside down, and encourage feminists to have abortions-THEN they will stop it, to avoid doing anything recommended by a conservative. Doing the right thing has become such hard work……..

House Judiciary Committee subpoenas Karl Rove to testify in connection with U. S. Attorney firings.
This is the second attempt to compel Rove’s testimony. Previously, Rove claimed “Executive Privilege”, and declined to even appear. The Bush Justice Department refused to arrest Rove for Contempt of Congress.
It is expected similar behavior this time will win him a time-out in a concrete closet.

Not only will we be spared all of those unwanted/unneeded substandard childer, but there will be substantial growth and new opportunities in the kill-a-kid field of anti-medicine all around the nation.
Pelosi’s thinking is representative of why it is dangerous to elect anyone who is not a Christian. Supreme Court Justice John Jay understood this, but “Christian America” seems to believe we can prosper without walking in the ways of righteousness. Without God’s wisdom, understanding and guidance sinful man will soon begin walking perversely. The end result is certain destruction, whether by Christ’s triumphant return or by the hands of another nation, our judgment is nigh.

“Judge not, lest ye be judged” is not a command; it is a warning. ET, et al, do not understand this. If one knows right from wrong and believes in moral absolutes, judging comes easier. ET, on the other hand perhaps cannot judge except from his own mind which he knows is fallible. For maybe Joe knows more; or Sam who has a Master’s degree might know better; or Mary who has already “been there” may have an opinion that sounds better. They are in a constant state of confusion with no compass to guide them. Better to not judge at all, so they take the easy way out.

A not so funny thing happened at work this morning when I was loading my truck ( that had to be coerced to start,more on that later). There was a bit of light snow falling and blowing in onto the floor of the dock, I was being careful to watch my footing as I pulled the cases of milk into the truck - until I was about 3/4 finished loading. I snatched onto 5 cases of half pints, which are much lighter than most other products, (I blame that fact for becoming careless for a moment - that and the fact that my footing had not been a factor up to this point) and in a heartbeat my foot had slid off of the dock as I was pulling the milk toward the truck. The gap between the truck and the dock was just wide enough for my foot to slip between them, which it did, and with my body being in full motion the result was neither pretty, nor graceful. I quickly discovered that narrow gap was wide enough for my entire leg, all of the way up to my hip! With the other leg still firmly planted on the dock, I was in a bad situation. The five cases of half pints quickly joined me on the floor, my head struck the back of my truck, and the keys/keychain in my right front pocket I swear are imprinted into the bone just below my hip. I crawled up out of the crack and hobbled to the office ( where there is heat, -4 degrees here this AM), dropping into a chair in the corner, my head resting against the wall served to remind me that it had taken a good blow, so I managed to muster up the will to pick it up off the wall and see if the was was sporting any of my blood - negative. What really has me puzzled is the pain in my neck, at he base, but on the left side. Odd I think, seeing as I fell on my right side. I seriously considered going home at that point, it was 4AM, I was cold and no longer wished to play milkman.
Probably should have called the boss and reported the mishap, but I figured I was OK. My knee doesn’t hurt although there is a chunk of flesh missing from the side of it. Tomorrow (if I am able to move) will most likely be a little better

Today’s headline:
Green car rules give auto industry a new challenge (AP)
And the heavy truck industry also. My truck almost shut down as I was trying to make my way up the street, only two deliveries left to make, and even though my fuel was supposed to be good for -30 degrees it acted as though it was gelling up. I was close to the Flying J truck plaza so I crossed my fingers and grumbled at the traffic ahead of me. I was hoping they had Power Service Diesel 911 in stock, they did and I dumped a bottle in the tank and waited. Sure enough in a couple of minutes it seemed to be reviving. Walgreen’s, my next stop was just across the street so I took off after about 30 more seconds, give of take, and she commenced to trying to die out again. When I made it to Walgreen’s the exhaust temp warning light came on ( when the light is on you are supposed to park and press the regenerate button which initiates a program that is supposed to heat the exhaust filters up and clean them out. Still inoperative on this truck, I tried it a few more times, but It just doesn’t do what it is supposed to do, it doesn’t do squat! But the light went out after a bit.
So I figured I had better call our company fleet manager and fill him in on the latest, during the conversation he said, “this system works great on the over the road trucks, but if you are doing in town deliveries it just doesn’t work.” For now the solution is to drive it on the interstate for a half an hour once a week, and see if it helps. 20% more miles per week, 20% more fuel usage. I wonder how much “greener” this truck runs than last year’s model? 20% or more? I doubt it.

MKK: I also am praying for your father and you! It is ALWAYS best to report ANY accident involving an injury. In “days gone by”, you could count on most people to do the right thing if you were injured, today is a MUCH different story!
On one of my first jobs driving a forklift truck, on the first day of unloading a truck at the dock, I went into the truck very fast, swooped under the load, and was backing out when my boss started yelling, “stop, stop!!!”
There was snow on the ground, and when I went under my load, and bumped the back of the trailer, it had slid away from the dock and if my boss had not stopped me, I would have dropped, (with the lift truck), between the trailer and dock!
Although it would have delighted ET, I am glad it did not happen!

This is the person who was described as, “Clean, articulate, and intelligent”?
The CORRECT phrase moron is, “dragging it’s FEET“!
Had this been Bush, he would have already been ridiculed hundreds of times, but with the MSM “leg tinglers” it ‘ain’t gonna happen’, so it is up to us bloggers to point out these moronic comments and then run with them! Don’t worry, I am confident there will be about one, (or more), a day. There would be even more if they had not told Biden to, “put a sock in it”!

Taking a page out of the liberal’s own political handbook: Given that Mr. Obama hasn’t yet begun the removal of American troops from Iraq to redeploy them in some place safe like … Okinawa … and in light of the fact liberals long believed American soldiers were dying for oil in Iraq and therefore under Mr. Obama said soldiers continue to die in a war for oil, and faced with the growing reality Obama/Biden plan to “ramp up” the war in Afghanistan for a secret natural gas pipeline that Dick Cheney wanted to build, wouldn’t it be fair to say that by the liberals’ own definition Mr. Obama is now a chickenhawk? After all, having no military service himself and now being the one who has direct responsibility for keeping American soldiers in harm’s way and in some cases sending them to their deaths in two wars which the anti-war left has long said were unwinnable and immoral, wouldn’t Mr. Obama be the quintessential poster boy for the term “chickenhawk”?
Despite his original campaign promises, it doesn’t look like Mr. Obama is going to bring American soldiers home anytime soon so now this chickenhawk bears the full burden of any American soldier in the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters dying on his watch.
So I guess those on the other side of the aisle are reduced to either blaming Bush or Karl Rove (with his dastardly jedi mind tricks mind you) for Obama’s new found unwillingness to cut-and-run or making false differentiations like the real difference is that Mr. Obama is THEIR chickenhawk whereas George Bush was OUR chickenhawk.
Just asking.
BTW, I won’t lie like liberals and claim Thomas Jefferson said, “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism” when he really didn’t, but I believe we should all avail ourselves of this “progressive” principle and become more patriotic by dissenting with the Obama/Pelosi/Reid government every chance we get. The more we dissent, the more patriotic we are! Likewise, the less liberals and Obamatons dissent, the less patriotic they are. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, right?

It is, indeed.

The abortion debate is not going to be resolved until we acknowledge human biology. When we do that, we will admit that LIFE was created only ONCE and we can only reproduce it. That occurs when the egg is fertilized (i.e., conception). God planned it that way. Abortionists can only terminate that individual. That makes it murder. Which is why there is so much vehement argument in suport of abortion. Not only that, but such admission would cut off the money spigot, and a lot of people would be sitting on death row.
Support of abortion is nothing less than denial of natural, obvious fact! Unfortunately for those practicioners and supporters, their final judgment will not be of men, but of God. I’d be quaking in my boots

Egospeak,
What has president Obama done since the election that I should defend? If he attacks the wrong country, or starts saying moronic things while trying to hang over the podium, please point that out, will you?
Meanwhile, Dumbyah is back in Texas at Rancho Incompetento, where he hope he is enjoying his retirement at least half as much as most Americans.
Re: 59
Smedley,
See: http://election.cbsnews.com/election2008/president.shtml
Obama 66,882,230, or 53%
McCain 58,343,671 or 46%
RAM,
“I am sure everstink thinks that in the verse, “– it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, –”, GOD is actually talking about a sewing needle too!”
Careful now RAM, most of the folks here take that literally. Do you take up snakes at your church services?

It appears that the next 24 hours or so are going to be a white-knuckle Capitol Hill-ride for the Pelosi-Reid-BHO triumvirate.
This triumvirate of evil has seen its slimy mask slip, revealing the repugnant face of licentiousness which it so vainly attempted to disguise and it was a mighty ugly mask in the first place. They are not even the least bit ashamed. It’s horrible.
God Bless America

Sorry little man (et) but your messiah only received 32.6% of the electorate. Inconvenient I know, but the electorate happens to be made up of roughly 213million people eligible to vote. By my math, that means about 82 million eligible voters did not vote. About 26% of the electorate did not vote.
Notnews get your facts straight before making a fool of yourself….any patriotic American wants barkey’s commie policies to fail!!

UNL,
You have a valid point there! But, since everybody knows Republicans vote at a much higher rate than the lazy Democrats, it seems likely that most of the non-voting electorate would have voted for Obama!
ET
80 upnorthlurkin // Jan 27, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Au contraire, I would bet a large percentage of that 82 million, weren’t inspired enough by either candidate to bother. (Not that I disagree with your assertion Democrats are lazy….they’re greedy too.)

Newsman Re#73: I apologize for doubting your credentials in the past. Not only are you several days late with this comment, but you’re quoting incorrectly and out of context. If that ain’t today’s type of “News” it’s close enough, in a fake but accurate way.
By the way, I’ve heard Obama hopes Limbaugh fails. Pretty audacious, eh?

Tell us the truth, -you are Joe Biden, aren’t you?
85 RepublicanAttackMachine // Jan 27, 2009 at 7:41 pm
ET, Republicans may have voted at a higher rate in past elections, but with the help of A.C.O.R.N., and Obama’s minions, they had a MUCH higher turnout among the “brain washed” libs this year.
They rounded up all the indoctrinated college age kids, ALL black voters, all of Hollyweird, and millions of additional dead voters this year.
Not to mention the Republicans chased away by Obama’s “baton wielding” thugs at MANY voting places.

Newsman must really be a newsman. He can’t get the quote right.
Meanwhile, the Obama Ecollapse continues unabated, as consumer confidence now is at an ALL-TIME LOW at Ecollapse plus 7. In the past, consumer confidence has tracked the public opinion of the Administration.
88 onlineanalyst // Jan 27, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Dear Newsman: Neither your job nor your house will be protected with this “stimulus” bill. It injects no capital into the private sector where jobs and businesses are created.
It rewards those who pay no taxes with welfare check “rebates”. (Seriously, no meaningful growth in the economy comes from the bottom up.). It punishes taxpayers, savers, and investors. It is riddled with pay-for-play pork to those who supported the Democrats in this last election.
Lowering individual and small business tax rates, lowering corporate tax rates, eliminating taxes on saving account interest, and lessening capital gains taxes would inject a free-flow of capital into the system. Working people would have more cash in their pockets to spend, to pay down their individual debt, and meet their mortgage obligations. New hires and suspension of layoffs would be but a recent bad memory.
(You obviouwly don’t have the business beat on your newspaper.)

To support my point, the Carnival of Pork has proportionately little impact on our current economic situation. Read more detail here:

At the link, there is another where Michelle Bachman (R- MN) provides a tracker site to show where this money is going. It’s all about providing for Dem cronies and expanding the welfare state filled with dependent voter-serfs.

This is an outrage. Congress is voting to delay my Constitutional right to conversion to digital TV?! Have these people no shame? I can’t wait to see what they take away next.
Guess that gives people more time to run out and get those cute little converter boxes to hook to their TV sets. Just remember that Winston Smith had a camera in his.
93 upnorthlurkin // Jan 28, 2009 at 12:19 pm
LCRM, I suppose they’ll keep delaying the conversion until Everyman is ready….? I think there’s money in the Trillion dollar (graft) payback bill for more converter coupons. So while my husband and I have paid for our solution now we get to pay for our neighbors’ too! It’s all good now ain’t it trolls?! Someone else taking responsibility for you….free (to you.)

The Dems have introduced a “Good Morning, Suckers” bill guaranteed to bleed the taxpayers through debt and wealth transference, to bloat federal government through more bureaucracies, to reward fiscal irresponsibility in state and local governments, to expand welfare programs, and to pay off Democrat special interest groups.
It’s mighty difficult to find any economic stimulus in this plan, which takes from the productive and encourages dependence. It offers no recovery nor growth.
Here are some further details re this debacle of piggydom: http://spectator.org/archives/2009/01/28/good-morning-suckers
Get on the telephones and call your representative’s and senators’ offices to express your outrage. The fools supporting this nonsense will enslave future generations to the type of misery rampant in the former Soviet=bloc nations, North Korea, China, Venezuela, and Cuba.
Our currency will be Zimbabwe-ized to valuelessness.

Never fear onlineanalyst, I don’t need to worry about my income or my house being lost !
When times were good I did not live above my means via upgrading my house to one of those ugly McMansions which seem to be everywhere you look. Neither did I go into hock up to my eyeballs on my credit card ! And neither did I engage in buying a new car for myself.
I live modestly and comfortably on a decent pension and some extra income from google adsense on a couple of educational websites I developed myself over the years.

LCRM Re#92, just for the record, Congress is NOT delaying your right to receive digital TV, which is already being broadcast nationwide. What they’re working to delay is the decommissioning of non-digital transmitters, a decision which won’t affect your TV viewing whatsoever if you’re already set up for DTV.
In fact, what’s really funny about the whole DTV debacle is that it’s actually a huge money-grab by Congress and certainly no “service to the American people.” As a former Broadcast Engineer I’d be happy to discuss that in more detail if anyone’s interested.
