Interview with Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue at a press conference in front of the White House, where he is unable to explain how the health care bill will fund abortion.

Amy Siskind at Huffington Post posits that women will be blamed if real health care reform fails to pass, and that abortion will be the reason.

I’m reprinting a thread I wrote about a 1 1/2 years ago on my blog Skydancing Women because they’ve just done it to us again. We’re supposed to go along for the greater good of the “health” plan.

Nancy Pelosi is a SEX traitor.

Call me ALICE PAUL DakiniKat. I want to Bring BACK the National Women’s Party. Fuck any one that would sell out all the women in the United States to get the approval of the a few nasty, pedophile enabling Bishops. This is America and that is against everything we should stand for.
