Enough Izzy (spellcheck wants me to change it to
Dizzy. Tee hee). If you are going to try to refute me at least put
some effort into it. What I said is that Bush claims to be anti-abortion
but in policy does the exact opposite. Your points below prove it
again. The first point and perhaps the most important one of this
post are the answers to the following questions: Are you honestly
willing to look at the facts regarding Bush? Are you reading for
understanding or just to refute? If proven that your support for Bush is
completely unChristian are you willing to vote for somebody else? If they
answer is yes read on. If the answer is no throw away your Bible and drink
the Kool-aid.
Your post beautifully illustrates my point. In 2002
funding was increased to 480 million. In 2003 it was decreased to 425
million. This money is used for abortions. Whether it is 480 million
or 425 million it is an awful (in every sense of the word) lot of money used to
promote abortion. In 2002 Bush did give 21 million to the UNFPA. In
other words he did support abortion with millions of dollars during his
term. That he removed it the next year says nothing as the money was
redirected to another abortion agency. So what is your argument
again? Do you deny that Bush gave 425 million to the United Nations
Population Fund last year? Read the facts. Is the 'good' Bush is
doing removing 55 million from one fund? Lets vote for Bush! Do you
admit that 425 million used to support and promote abortions is a comfortable
amount of money for you?
Next
point. Bush gave millions to the USAID organization. Your article
points out that he only withdrew money for the CONFERENCE (read public relations
move). They still got their millions to kill babies. Do you deny
this? Read the facts.
When
you support Bush you are supporting abortion. When you vote for Bush/Kerry
you will be voting for millions of dollars going towards killing babies.
Sleep well. The proof is in the money. How come you ignored Bush's
own claim that he will do nothing to outlaw abortion? How about his
definition of abortion? Talk about being selective. How about
looking at the partial birth abortion issue? Sickeningly selective.
Read the facts.
What
does it mean to be pro-life to you? Does it mean no abortions, a few
abortions for selected cases (health of mother, rape, incest), or close to half
a billion dollars worth of promotion and aid to undertake abortion?
If you are really against abortion you cannot, I repeat cannot think that
voting for Bush (or Kerry) is helping babies. If abortion
really mattered to you (i.e. was your single most important
issue on your decision of who to vote for) you would vote for a candidate that
campaigned with the platform to completely stop abortion. Voting for a
platform that says they dislike it but will do nothing about it is
hypocrisy.
To
stop this conversation just sign on the doted line below and send it back to the
group.
I,
Izzy (Linda) support George W Bush in giving nearly half a billion dollars to
abortion supportive agencies. I sleep better knowing my taxpaying money
and vote helps babies to be murdered. This makes me feel like a
Christian. I like being a hypocrite. Abortion makes me feel icky
inside but I don't really care enough about it to change my
vote.

Jonathan, if you can confine yourself to one attack at a time, we will begin
with your allegations that President Bush is a pro-abortionist. Yet you
are very selective in your facts (as is the Constitutional Party, and Bush’s other
detractors who selectively use facts to mislead the public). Please see
below, and then please apologize to President Bush for your slander.

Jonathan More stuff on Bush and
abortion. Izzy, do you still feel the same way about Bush after reading
this? Does abortion really matter to
you? And while we are on the subject of
abortion, President G.W. Bush signed legislation in 2002 that increased funding
for International Family Planning to the tune of $480.5 million making this
Republican-led administration the biggest supporter of international baby
butchery in Bush FY’2003 Budget Guts

Request from Population Action
International
UN
Population Fund Zeroed Out Feb 4 – President George W. Bush’s Fiscal Year 2003 Budget, released today,
envisions a deep, 11% cut in international family planning programs. Last year,
Congress appropriated $480.5 million for international family planning,
including $34 million for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). President Bush’s fiscal 2003 budget
would cut US international family planning funds to $425 million and envisions
no funding for UNFPA, the world’s most far-reaching family
planning agency. The President’s 2003 budget proposes a $115
million increase in funding for the US Agency for International Development’s HIV/AIDS programs around the world. In
addition, the Administration proposes a $120 million contribution to UNICEF, the UN’s advocate for children, and
a modest $1 million contribution to UNIFEM, the UN fund for women.
The Administration’s decision to withhold
funding for UNFPA represents a startling reversal not
only of legislation passed unanimously in the US Senate and by a 3-to-1 margin
in the House, but also of previous Administration policy.
In his first budget proposal to Congress,
covering fiscal 2002, President Bush requested $25 million in funding for UNFPA. The Administration also approved the
release of $21.5 million in fiscal 2001 funds for UNFPA after determining that UNFPA was in compliance with
Recently,
many "pro-lifers" heaped voluminous praise upon Mr. Bush when he decided to
withhold a miniscule (by comparison) $34 million in federal funds from UNFPA (a
UN abortion agency in What these
ignorant (or deluded) "pro-lifers" failed to notice was that Bush redirected
that $34 million to USAID Child Survival Health Program Fund. This fund includes
money for "forecasting, purchasing, and supplying contraceptive commodities and
other materials necessary for reproductive health programs." In other words,
all President Bush did was play the old shell game by taking $34 million from
one pro-abortion agency and giving it to another pro-abortion agency. As
American Life League President Judy Brown said, "These 'contraceptive
commodities' are nothing but abortion-inducing chemicals that kill the very
children that the fund claims to help." Jonathan

Furthermore, you have
ignored the fact the President Bush has made stem cell research illegal on
anything other than some samples that were pre-existing prior to his decision,
to avoid abortions for that purpose: Stem
Cell Research Has Broad Bipartisan Support.
Fifty-eight Senators, including John Kerry, sent George Bush a letter urging him
to lift the ideologically-driven restrictions on stem cell research. Fourteen
Republicans - including Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX), and
John McCain (R-AZ) - joined Democrats in sending Bush a loud and clear message.
John Kerry has joined members from both sides of the aisle to work toward
overturning the ban on federal funding of research on new stem cell lines while
providing strict ethical oversight as doctors and scientists explore their full
potential.
http://www.johnkerry.com/issues/health_care/stemcell.html Jonathan, Do you have
any further stones to throw at President Bush regarding his position on
abortion, or are you ready to concede that you were wrong?
