The revamping of the Salem Witch Trials for 2015. With even less proof.
The hysterical right, not funny but downright tragic. They directly threaten peopleās lives with this bullshit.

On that āborn aliveā one, they better not use medically donated organs to help 'em survive.

These folks spend all kinds of time and money fighting for the unborn. But once theyāre born theyāll just walk away and leave them for dead.
This is all about punishing the people that want the abortions and has nothing to do with protecting anyone.

The move to vote on the two House bills appears to be an attempt by leadership to offer an alternative route for conservative lawmakers to express their anger over the videos, rather than flirt with a possible shutdown of the government over Planned Parenthoodās federal funding.
They think that a symbolic vote will appease the base?

And in spite of the fact that abortion is becoming increasingly rare. The GOP as always: propensities in desperate search of pretexts.
A survey released earlier this week by the Associated Press shows that the number of abortions performed each year declined by about 12 percent nationwide between 2010 and 2014, continuing a steady downward trajectory since the early 1990sā¦Abortion rates did fall in many of the states with new restrictions, but they also dropped in others, such as New York and Connecticut, where access to abortion is relatively unobstructed. In fact, some of the states with the biggest declines ā Hawaii, Nevada and New Mexico ā have enacted no new abortion laws in recent years, suggesting that something other than reduced access is spurring the trend.

Christ, theyāre not even any longer going to the trouble of tying fake noses made from carrots on their āwitchesā.
This is Congress putting up a big public notice:
ā***Phony Baloney Committee Investigation Into Patently Fake Bullshit - Hearing Room 200, 2:00 p.m., currently scheduled for 150 minutes, with breaks for restrooms, coffee and TV adjustments.***ā

GOP: ā[C]riminal penalties to people ā¦ who fail to provide medical care to a baby who survivesā¦.ā
Republicans āfail to provide medical careā to babies who survive every single day.
And nutrition.
And education.
And any chance of surviving Voodoo economics.
Unless a baby bundles dark money for the GOP, offshores jobs, or qualifies for trickle-down tax cuts, Republicans donāt provide anything to them.

Well, boring.
āan alternative route for conservative lawmakers to express their anger over the videosā
Oh please. These people arenāt angry over the videos. I donāt have any evidence, but I have no doubt in my mind that there were some state and possibly federal legislators who were in on this from the get-go and itās all about political leverage and point-scoring by manipulating the one-issue voters in the Teatroll base, nothing more.

Budget resolutions are merely estimates, and these resolutions do not have the force of law.
Itās the various appropriations bills that are importantāand independent of the budget resolutionāthat the GOP never passes on time.

They donāt fight for the unborn: they are perfectly willing to starve them in the womb producing damaged children at birth and also to deny fetuses medical care in the womb but if a fetus is inadvertently not killed during an abortion then the fetus can be used as a science project.

āAmericans are rightfully outraged by what was depicted in these videos and Congress and the American people have a right to know exactly what is happening,ā McCarthy said.
Iām not sure ārightfully outragedā is the correct phrase to use in describing public response to videos that depict legal behavior.

Sadly, no. With irony thatās entirely lost on them, the āPro-Lifeā Right will likely settle for nothing short of dead bodies.

Not outraged at all and when given the opportunity to view the videos did not do so, I donāt bother looking at trash, especially doctored trash.
Hear! Hear!
I wish there were a G-d, because these assholes belong in hell.
