To keep House vote on track, Pelosi struggles to appease the church and The Family cult on abortion language.

I am opposed to my tax dollars being spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but the spending takes place just the same. Others are opposed to their taxes being spent on other things but the spending still occurs. There is no difference here. Just because a group is opposed to tax dollars being spent on abortion shouldn't carry any more weight than it does for money being spent on things other groups oppose. As for religious organizations opposing taxes being spent on abortion; they really should not have any say in how tax dollars are spent seeing as they DON'T PAY TAXES!!

Amen I agree On not wanting to pay for their stinking wars. I guess that is what us liberals need to do write a bill we are not paying for anyone who goes to war!!! I am so sick and fed up with this government allowing the horrid evil cult the Vatican and the catholic faith to run our governnment. Since when was this legal??? The vatican is an evil satanic cult of old washed up perverts and women haters and pedophiles!! To think I ws forced by my parents to go to that horrible church for 18 years. I hated it then and I hate it now even more!!!! There I finally said it out loud!!!!

Most politicians don't believe all this fundamentalist nonsense they need to stop all the lipservice and appeasement, evolve some cujones and stand up to these medieval flat-earthers.

I have been wondering for months why anyone is against having our tax dollars spent on US for a change, instead of squandering our Tax Dollars on these wars and rebuilding those countries, while ours is crumbling under our feet. The Rs conveniently don't mention that over a TRILLION and a Half of OUR Tax Dollars have been squandered on the Bush wars. They keep repeating the same scripted message as if they were following the playbook of Hitler: "If you repeat the same lies enough, people will believe them". Go Nancy Pelosi!
