It's NOT Obamacare or Obama's Healthcare Plan
agirlnamedstewart:
It’s the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Did people call HIPPA “Clintoncare”? I know HIPPA and PPACA aren’t the same thing.
All this Obamacare language smacks of how the default for dialation and extraction is now partial birth abortion. Language defines how we view our world. I wonder if people would be so vitriolic over patient protection and affodable care.

My mind literally cannot process this ridiculousness. I cannot comprehend.
They meant I do not believe in equality because I am not also protecting fetuses. Since you know, I am more concerned about the person who needs the abortion.

Ready to Fight Boehner’s Anti-Choice Agenda
corruptpolitics:
Today, John Boehner was sworn in as speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, becoming the most powerful anti-choice politician in the country.
Boehner pledged to Americans United for Life – an extremist anti-choice group – that he would be “the most pro-life Speaker ever.”
I’ve seen my fair share of anti-choice politicians hell-bent on taking away a woman’s right to...

I LOVE YOU OBAMA
I admire his willingness to compromise, but I still believe he needs to be aggressive!
Yes, I agree, there are many things we can cut spending for (in ways that does not lay people off), yet also remember to not cut where it hurts the most vulnerable Americans.

You misunderstood, man: “Half a century ago, when the Soviets beat us into space with the launch of a satellite called Sputnik¸ we had no idea how we’d beat them to the moon. The science wasn’t there yet. NASA didn’t even exist. But after investing in better research and education, we didn’t just surpass the Soviets; we unleashed a wave of innovation that created new industries...

“So, on the 38th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, it is not enough to say that our nation is divided on the issue. Perhaps it is more accurate to say our nation is beginning to awaken to the fact that Roe’s policy – imposed by a Court rather than voted on by the people’s representatives — has never represented what the majority of Americans think about abortion.”

According to the report, “1,458 (40 percent) of these servicemembers held skills in a critical occupation, an important foreign language, or both, as determined by us and the services.”
No big. Just $200 million. For actively discriminating against soldiers.
