The murder of unborn babies is the Democrats’ top agenda! By their fruits you shall know them. The facts speak for themselves (see below). Make no mistake, this is ungodly, Satanic to its core and pure evil!<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Democrats take control of House, immediately introduce bill to fund abortions worldwide<\/h1>\n

<\/i> WASHINGTON, D.C., January 3, 2019 (LifeSiteNews<\/a>) \u2013 Democrats wasted no time asserting their priorities upon taking over the U.S. House of Representatives this week, proposing\u00a0legislation to fund the federal government which would at the same time reverse\u00a0one of President Donald Trump\u2019s earliest pro-life accomplishments.<\/p>\n

\n

The federal government has been partially shut down since Trump, facing pressure from conservatives, decided at the last minute<\/a>\u00a0in December\u00a0to reject a government funding bill that didn\u2019t include $5 billion to begin constructing the southern border wall he campaigned on. While the media is filled with distress over the shutdown and uncertainty over whether Democrats or Republicans will blink first, most of the government was already funded and remains in operation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following her return to the office of House Speaker Thursday, Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi announced that her party would be \u201coffering the Senate Republican Appropriations [Committee] legislation to reopen the government later today,\u201d Fox News<\/em> reports<\/a>. The proposal would fund the Department of Homeland Security until February 8 and other federal departments until the end of September.<\/p>\n

The bill has been a political non-starter because it lacks wall funding, however, and pro-lifers are warning<\/a> that it would also repeal the Mexico City Policy (now called Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance) that Trump reinstated shortly after taking office and later expanded. That would make foreign entities that commit or promote abortions once again eligible for foreign aid.<\/p>\n

The plan would also give $37.5 million to the United Nations Population Fund, from which Trump withdrew<\/a> in 2017 over its participation in China\u2019s forced abortion regime.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis move shows the House Democrats are so radically pro-abortion that they are more concerned with pushing their abortion agenda on the American people than finding common ground to end the government shutdown,\u201d Live Action president Lila Rose responded. While Trump and Senate Republicans \u201cfailed last session to pass a law preventing the American taxpayer from funding Planned Parenthood,\u201d they \u201cnow have a duty to stand firm and block such outrageous attempts to have the American taxpayer fund and promote abortion programs across the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNews that abortion is the leading cause of death worldwide is a tragedy of international proportions, but asking U.S. taxpayers to pay for it is an offensive misuse of scarce resources,\u201d Students for Life of America president Kristan Hawkins said<\/a>. \u201cTaxpayers have had enough of the abortion industry\u2019s vision of abortion as the United States\u2019\u00a0number one export. As a bipartisan matter, we should help women and children at home and abroad, without making ending life the goal of U.S. policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has already rejected the proposal as a \u201cpolitical sideshow,\u201d declaring that the Senate \u201cwill not waste its time considering a Democratic bill which cannot pass this chamber and which the president will not sign.\u201d<\/p>\n

How the shutdown standoff will end remains unclear. Conservative pundit Ann Coulter, who was one of Trump\u2019s earliest and most passionate supporters, predicted this week<\/a> the president \u201cwill fold in the end,\u201d though others argue<\/a> he can satisfy supporters by funding the wall through other revenue sources not reliant on Congress.<\/p>\n

In July 2017, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) suggested<\/a>\u00a0the federal funding that goes to Planned Parenthood be directed\u00a0to the border wall instead.<\/p>\n

As for abortion policy under the new Congress, pro-lifers are largely resigned<\/a> to two more years without direct legislation to defund Planned Parenthood or otherwise restrict abortion, though they remain optimistic<\/a> that Trump will continue to find incremental steps for life via executive action, and hope Republicans\u2019 expanded Senate majority will enable the confirmation of judges with clear\u00a0pro-life credentials.<\/p>\n

Democrat opposition to Pelosi\u2019s re-election as speaker falls flat<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Pelosi is a self-declared \u201cCatholic\u201d with a\u00a0100 percent\u00a0pro-abortion voting record<\/a>, who has said that\u00a0promoting \u201cdiversity\u201d among Capitol Hill staff<\/a>\u00a0will be one of her priorities in the new Congress. On multiple occasions, however, she has also displayed the political acumen to deemphasize left-wing causes like abortion for the sake of winning over Americans on economic or healthcare grounds.<\/p>\n

After the November midterms, the\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0revealed<\/a>\u00a0that Pelosi helped Democrats return to power in part by counseling \u201crestraint\u201d against fighting over things like Planned Parenthood in favor of a focused message on more mainstream concerns. \u201cThose things are in our DNA, but they are not in our talking points,\u201d she reportedly said on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n

In April, she\u00a0defended<\/a>\u00a0her support of \u201cpro-life\u201d Democrats like Illinois\u00a0Rep. Dan Lipinski on the grounds that his election would count toward a \u201cpro-choice gavel when we win the Congress,\u201d and during the campaign\u00a0downplayed<\/a>\u00a0Democrat calls to impeach President Donald Trump. Conservatives suspect such assurances were merely meant to hide Democrats\u2019 true intentions so as not to provoke GOP voter turnout.<\/p>\n

The Hill<\/em>\u00a0reports<\/a>\u00a0that 15 House Democrats, most of whom were just elected, opposed Pelosi\u2019s re-election as speaker, though they didn\u2019t agree on a single alternative and their ranks were far short of the \u201cdozens\u201d who had previously distanced themselves from her.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn day one of the new Congress, Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats are already trying to foist a radical pro-abortion agenda on the nation,\u201d Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser\u00a0said<\/a>. \u201cThe House\u2019s spending bill would…[make] taxpayers complicit in the exportation of abortion and destruction of countless unborn children around the world. This is unconscionable and we oppose the bill in the strongest terms.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
