With significant modifications the anti-abortion bill in the house that was delayed earlier
this week by a small group of republican female representatives has now passed although as
I said many many changes significant changes the new bill would prohibit taxpayer funding
for abortion which already largely illegal in most part of the country in most circumstances
passage fell mostly along party lines by a vote of 242-179 Representative Richard Hanna
(N.Y.) was the only Republican to oppose the measure while three democrats Henry Cuellar
(Texas) Dan Lipinski (Ill.) and Collin Peterson (Minn.) vote in favor of it now the big change
between the earlier version that was delay the rebellion in the house and the current
is that originally it had language granting the victims of rape an exception from the
ban on abortions after 20 weeks which they wanted to instate across the country only
if the rape was reported to the police but according to the justice department nearly
70 percent of rapes go unreported often due to victims fear of retribution because of
that many female republicans felt like they simply could not sign on to it and so you
have the relatively toothless law that they passed earlier today seems like invited themselves
to their own Red Wedding they didn't to do any of this but of course the base wants some
sort of legislation yesterday was the march for life in Washington so all of those people
were in Washington it's the 42nd anniversary of Roe vs Wade and now Tony Perkins says that
you know come 2016 there will be consequences and repercussion for backing off all of a
Renee Ellmers someone has announced that they are going to challenge Renee Ellmers in North
Carolina in a primary and she didn't win that comfortably last time around in the primary
so well she may it comfortably last time she did not win it in 2010 ok yeah we actually
have a few anti-choice representatives talking about the possible repercussions but first
of all I like Charlie Dent's quote Republican Charlie Dent said the less we engage on this
issue of rape the better we are as a party because a lot of Republicans all of the country
have different views on this issue I know a lot of people have different views on rape
wide variety some indifferent Charlie Dent said the first week I'm not putting this the
first week we botched the speaker election the second week we talked about deporting
and the third week we're talking about incest can't wait to see what happens in the 4th
week Charlie Dent welcome to your own Republican party but this is also OK but this is also
what we've been saying for years and I haven't been here for awhile but I'm sure you've kept
saying it which is that until a Republican speaks up and says exactly what's going on
in their party this is just going to keep going to you welcome these words of Charlie
Dent and hope that other people hear them we have the article that most of us read is
from The Hill and it just drives me nuts man because they refer these woman Jackie Walorski
Michael is that her name Michael right Renee Ellmers she's from Indiana Walorski is from
Indiana and Ellmers is from North Carolina and they're referred to as these moderates
there's nothing moderate about them certainly not about Walorski Ellmers has had moderate
opinions I get it but they are only moderate by today's standards I mean Sarah Palin endored
Renee Ellmers she's not that moderate Sarah Palin went out of her way to endorse Renee
Ellmers and Jackie Walorski wanted to privatize social security moderate and she sponsored
in the Indiana legislature the voter ID law the Supreme Court upheld that has now mimicked
around the county to keep black people from voting so yeah but to be fair they can still
vote so it's moderate they've castrated three pigs between them I'm saying so we've yes
because these women bucked their party on this issue because of the simplistic way that
goes into a lot of reporting that if you if the bulk of your party wants something and
you want something that's not quite that far then you become a moderate and it just cheats
the American people out of understanding the complexity of these issues yeah now as I said
we do have a couple of the pro-life organizations promising that there will be retribution for
the woman that slowed down and pretty drastically changed the final bill the president of the
Susan B. Anthony list Marjorie Dannenfelser said I believe in political retribution otherwise
you might as well close up shop so really pretty clear there and then Tony Perkins as
Ben alluded to I think that there will probably be primary challenges I think there will be
some consequences for this it's news that Susan B. Anthony Association hasn't closed
up shop already I didn't know they were still in business I'm surprised they weren't replaced
temporarily by the Saqajuia association
