| 2011-04-09 |
| (CNSNews.com) - Sen. Chuck Schumer Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower. (D-N.Y.) vowed yesterday that the provision to defund Planned Parenthood ...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. that passed the House earlier this year is "never, never, never going to pass the Senate." Schumer made the remarks Thursday on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., at a "Stand Up for Women's Health" rally sponsored by the National Organization for Women, NARAL and Planned Parenthood. "The dangerous, ideological cuts to Planned Parenthood that passed the House are never, never, never going to pass the Senate," said Schumer. "Let me repeat that, so all those who want to stomp on women's health and women's rights can hear us loud and clear. The dangerous, ideological cuts to Planned Parenthood that passed the House are never, never, never going to pass the Senate." |

| #7 *Yawn* ... from the looks of it, PP spends anywhere from 1 to 2 million dollars *every* year on lobbying, independent political support, and campaign contributions- almost all to Democrats. End of story. Schumer doesn't give a damn, he likes his gravy. |

| #6 Proving once again that abortion is the only secular sacrament of the liberal theology. Posted by: Heriberto Shusonter9790 Precisely Heriberto. I believe it's the terms of reference that we're all hung up on. The word "abortion".... so off-putting. The "woman's right to choose" naming convention really never caught on. Europe arrived at the solution decades ago. Permitting full term deliver, medical experimentation as needed, then Zyclon-B inhalers. Strange it is that Senator Schumer never learned of these, quite effective techniques. |

| #5 Proving once again that abortion is the only secular sacrament of the liberal theology. Nonsense, Heriberto Shusonter9790. It is important to some, just as anti-abortion is important to only some on the conservative side. Some of the rest give it lip-service on both sides, and the remainder just don't talk about it if they can avoid it, because they really don't care. |

| #1 So, the Senator will have no trouble identifying in the Constitution this as a function of the Federal government? Ignoring, of course, that little line in the 10th - The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. |
