How about making it illegal to ā€œsellā€ tissue from abortions…

Thing is, this isn’t about abortion- it’s about destroying Planned Parenthood!

Moderate republican? That rarest of creatures.
Sadly ā€œcompromiseā€ is a toxic word to the normal inhabitant of the GOP in Congress. So I expect this’ll be a non-starter.

Fuck this plan. Let them shut it down, do not negotiate with terrorists.

Yes, let’s deny funds to PP clinics that have done nothing wrong or illegal. Yes, let’s deny them federal funding based on heavily edited videos produced by a domestic hate group. And Charlie Dent is a ā€œmoderate Republicanā€?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (and one more ā€œBWAā€ just for the hell of it)!!!
Well, I guess even Joseph Stalin was a moderate - if you compare him to Vlad the Impaler!

Agreed. This is absolutely a non-starter.

ā€œaccused of selling baby partsā€

They haven’t even been found guilty of doing anything illegal. If you don’t like that fetal tissue can be donated then change the law. All this will do is hinder women in those selected areas from having care.

Its already been laughed out of the Senate. And the House crazies are even more uncompromising.

So the moderate republicans are trying to negotiate with the teabaggers? Good luck with that!

Declaring certain Planned Parenthoods guilty before trial is not something that should be recognized as a compromise.

Refusing to pay the shipping costs of donated fetal tissue is well within the rights of Planned Parenthood.

And the pretense that donating fetal tissue for research is somehow revolting when bereaved parents have been donating tissue and organs from deceased beloved children for the sake of improving lives is disgusting.

If these guys do attack PP the Dems should not in any way cave in to them.If they shut down the GOV over this they are going to pay for it big time.Over 70% of this Nation does not want to attack PP.

Strongly agree. Unfortunately the Sunday talk shows will play this as ā€œSee, the GOP has come half-way Democrats!ā€, completely ignoring that Planned Parenthood has not done anything wrong at all. This proposal should be laughed at by Democrats. Every Democrat should be hammering the GOP for inventing the story (which the media will transform into ā€œfactā€). And any Democrat who supports the proposal ought to be ashamed of themselves for being anti-women.

'So - you Hell Fire Nutbars say you NEED a mass virgin sacrifice to Baal, whereas most folks think it’s crazy cruel inhuman to waste perfectly serviceable virgins throwing them into pits of magma and inescapably horrific deaths they did nothing to deserve.

Now, I’m Mister Centrist Moderate Reasonable Hell Fire Nutbar. I believe in compromise. I say how about we throw in just a FEW virgins - iffy ones at that, but let’s face it we’re not using ā€˜evidence’ and ā€˜science’ as a standard here in the first place.

Then we see how that goes, maybe Baal’s distracted and finds himself curiously sated by a relative handful of innocents dying excruciating undeserved deaths. The important thing is, we all move on from here.

Okay, not ā€œallā€ all, not the ones sacrificed, but the REST of us, WE all move on.

R we good to go? Come’on everybody, it’s football season, burn a few, shake hands all ā€˜round, move on!’

Moderate republican? That rarest of creatures.

You’d have a better chance of finding an unicorn with a golden horn, if it weren’t for the Overton Window effect. This a$$hat is moderate only by comparison with the real crazies like Madeyes Bachmann. Thank doG and Greyhound she’s gone, at least.

IF they could demonstrate wrong doing than this would work. Otherwise it is a witch hunt. Much like Acorn.
