    Default Democrats still holding out for abortion funding

    Do you believe this, even for Democrats? They are still holding out for abortion funding in the coronavirus stimulus package. What does abortion have to do with the coronavirus? I mean you know, besides nothing. Are you kidding me right now?

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...ongress-update

    More than 12 hours after Senate leaders announced an agreement, negotiations are continuing over various parts of the final text of the $2 trillion coronavirus relief package, including language regarding abortion providers, according to a person familiar with the matter.

    Yup. They've just GOT to have some kind of death somewhere going on.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Ain't what is holding up passage, rather "the drive by leaders to speed the bill through the Senate was slowed as four conservative Republican senators demanded changes" (https://apnews.com/edd230801c0e181169915e67b1fd64c6).

    Lies as usual from cons. You have to double-check everything they post.

    "A viral Facebook post falsely claims that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “wouldn’t release 8.5 billion for Coronavirus without abortion funding.” A House bill providing $8.3 billion in relief was already signed into law. The “abortion funding” claim is a distortion of a separate debate over a different bill.

    A behind-the-scenes skirmish between Republicans and Democrats over language in a House bill providing relief amid the novel coronavirus pandemic recently prompted claims by both sides that the measure was being politicized. Specifically, news reports cited an apparent debate over whether the bill could open the door to federal funds being used for abortions.

    Ultimately, though, the House passed the bill — the Families First Coronavirus Response Act — on March 14, and most Republicans voted in favor. The Republican-led Senate then approved it on March 18 and President Donald Trump signed it. There is nothing in the bill specific to the issue of abortion and, in fact, language was added to make clear that additional funding would be subject to restrictions in existing spending laws.

    But some on social media have distorted the facts, claiming that “Nancy Pelosi wouldn’t release 8.5 billion for Coronavirus without abortion funding, so Trump went around her to declare a National Emergency and got 50 billion.”

    That’s false.

    Are you serious????? Haven't you been listening to Trump and Fox News calling covid19 a Democratic hoax, and now Trump wants it wrapped-up by Easter, and according to Trump it will only be a small percentage that will die from the corona virus. And to think the GOP sells itself as the party that respects life.
