Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) In Opposition to the Pence Amendment

American tax-payers should not be forced to subsidize abortions, and the federal government shouldn't be involved in the business of the states, ie: health care, education, family-planning, etc. Contraception, sex education, and family planning support is widely available in most states through public schools and ngos. Such ngos (like Planned Parenthood) should be privately funded, and state citizens should decide if they want their state taxes used to fund specific ngos.

DID you listen at all to the video? there is NO TAX payer money going to abortions..at ALL. so shut your mouth and get a life.

@Cherry71 Please read my other comments; the facilities and marketing products for PP are shared expenses between abortion services and other services. By paying for the electric bill in a facility that offers abortions and other services in the same premises tax-dollars are "INDIRECTLY" supporting an abortion clinic. I have a great life, thanks to the fact that I was adopted! I'm glad my birth-mother loved me enough to put me up for adoption, rather than murder me...

@Cherry71 In-clinic abortions are available from many Planned Parenthood health centers: see for yourself @plannedparenthood's web site - /health-topics/abortion/in-cli­nic-abortion-procedures-4359.a­sp

@Cherry71 The Federal Government has no business funding ngo's or managing state citizen's issues.

Who is that disrespectful ingrate behind the speaker? This is the second video I have seen in which she is inappropriately mirthful and carrying on conversation. It is distracting and absurd. Lower your contemptuous eye brows and have some dignity. Is the American legal system a complete joke or was there some freshman university class having a field trip?

They're always like that. Congressmen are constantly being told to halt their conversations or leave the chamber.

I've seen highschoolers with better manners than most of congress.

@SeasonVelvet Eh, I'd get bored. Gotta think tons of hours of listening to speeches, and for all you know they are talking about their support of her. :shrugg: don't rush to judge, it makes you look like an inappropriate moron.

@Aurora81689

That may be true, yet if you followed your own sentiments you would not say something like "don't rush to judge, it makes you look like an inappropriate moron".

Cuz that women in the background is a piece of shit and fucking rude. This woman is SPEAKING for women, and this woman is giving her dirty looks...women will never rise if they act like that rude one in the background.
