RUMOR: Planned Parenthood rider resolved

[RandySF]

According to John King's "sources", the Planned Parenthood rider is resolved. He didn't say how, but since Harry Reid is involved, I'm worried.

1. He's supposed to talk at 8pm EST...we'll see...

I don't think that the Dems would give in...their base is minorities and women...this could do them in if they gave into defunding it.

2. I just hope the PP rider has been dropped

because abortion is NOT the fucking issue.

And it has not been legally allowed to be funded by taxpayers... so that should REALLY end their fucking arguments there.

3. If Reid caved on defunding Planned Parenthood, I will work my fingers to the bone.

I will be out in the streets with every other woman who believes our right to choose is not a bargaining chip.

We're 52% of American voters. This is non-negotiable.

7. I was just telling my husband the same thing...

and I'm the biggest apologist around.

9. Don't get upset yet -- maybe the Reps dropped it because the Dems really dug in

their heels and the memory of Gingrich's fuck up is still looming large in their memories. Let's hope that's the deal.

14. I hope that's the deal, too

I was very proud of Senator Patty Murray's comments today as well.

The Republicans are playing with fire.

:mad:

19. My problem with Murray (and she's my Senator) is that she's kind of like Reid

in her delivery -- not strong or forceful, but I agree I really liked what she said.

4. Harry, you and the other DC boys better leave PP alone.

[emulatorloo]

5. Reid spent the whole fucking day defending Planned Parenthood

and the Dem Caucus is united on the issue

[gateley]

10. +1. Finally, we're not giving. Hopefully. Nervously awaiting the presser. nt

[taught_me_patience]

6. These riders were just pawns to cut spending

I'm sure it was bargained away for more cuts.

[gateley]

8. What about the EPA and ATF problematic stuff? They're only focusing on PP --

We've given enough! Don't give any more!

[northoftheborder]

11. Yes, I want to know what has happened to all the other Riders.

have they all been bargained away except women's issues??????????????????????????????????????

[gateley]

12. O'Donnell was just showing clips of Boehner saying most of the riders have been

'resolved'. I'm on pins and needles.

[Dappleganger]

13. I wonder how many people will choose the Planned Parenthood issue as their line in the sand.

Mine was the choice of the anti-union Arne Duncan for our education system. Will this be your line in the sand? Just how many must be drawn before enough is enough?

[Missy Vixen]

17. I wish I could recommend a single post

I'm just one woman. I don't walk fast, and I don't have a lot of stamina, but my ass will be out in the street if Planned Parenthood is defunded.

I have a funny feeling I am not going to be alone.

[Dappleganger]

22. My daughters and I will be out there as well.

Our very lives depend upon this!

[gateley]

15. Waiting... The banners still show "no agreement yet". :( Wasn't Reid supposed to speak @ 8pm? nt

[cali]

16. don't be. there is no way that harry reid could give that one up

[hayu_lol]

18. Last time Harry Reid had a spine...

he was in kindergarten.

20. This whole thing is really getting under my skin.

I hate the pro-lifers with every micro-fiber of my being - they are disgusting and horrible, and if they get their way on this one... :grr: :mad:

[bear425]

21. You mean the Anti-Choicers, right?

There's really nothing "Pro" life about them.

[Initech]

23. Oh, right. I forget my terminology.
