• Pelosi: Contraception is Good Stimulus for the Economy – Capital Commerce (usnews.com)A great comment in response to Pelosi’s “save the economy with birth control” drivel. tags: politics
  • Welcome to Socialism 101. These scary people actually believe their own drivel or worse they are woefully ignorant about how economies work. This is what you get when hordes of non-voters are bused in to vote by commandment. Dependant lemmings vote in bad leaders.
• Vatican official accuses Obama of ‘arrogance’An Obama, abortion, slap down!tags: obama, abortion, Catholic, vatican
  • A senior Vatican official on Saturday attacked US President Barack Obama for “arrogance” for overturning a ban on state funding for family-planning groups that carry out or facilitate abortions overseas. It is “the arrogance of someone who believes they are right, in signing a decree which will open the door to abortion and thus to the destruction of human life,” Archbishop Rino Fisichella was quoted as saying by the Corriere della Sera daily. Fisichella is president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, one of a number of so-called pontifical academies which are formed by or under the direction of the Holy See. “What is important is to know how to listen… without locking oneself into ideological visions with the arrogance of a person who, having the power, thinks they can decide on life and death,” he added. Obama signed the executive order cancelling the eight-year-old restrictions on Friday, the third full day of his presidency.

  • The revelation came during an exchange Sunday morning on ABC’s THIS WEEK.

    STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?

    PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children’s health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those – one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.

    STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that?

    PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy.
