Barbara Boxer Wants Taxpayers to Pay for Military Abortions

Well, California Senator Barbara Boxer is at it again with The MARCH for Military Women Act (Military Access to Reproductive Care and Health).
The act, introduced by Boxer and fellow Democrats Kirsten Gillibrand, Patty Murray, Jeanne Shaheen and Frank Lautenberg, would have taxpayers foot the bill for abortions performed on military personnel using Department of Defense medical facilities.
LifeNews.com reports:
Current law in effect since 1996 prohibits the performance of abortion by Department of Defense medical personnel or at DOD medical facilities. A separate provision prohibits the use of DOD funds for abortion except to save the life of the mother. The MARCH for Military Women Act would lift the current bans and abortion advocates have tried for years to force military base hospitals to do abortions on female service members.
“Women who bravely choose to serve our country in the military shouldn’t have to forfeit their rights,” Lautenberg said. “When military hospitals fail to provide reproductive health services, women serving in foreign countries are left without access to safe and legal health care. This is unjust treatment for our servicewomen that must be brought to an end.”
Not surprisingly, advocacy groups such as the National Abortion Federation, Planned Parenthood and ACLU support the bill.

Posted on June 22, 2011 at 7:59am……Abortions are unconstitutional,a class action lawsuit needs to proceed to address all of the murdered baby’s and destroyed lives of the mothers who choose to participate,the proceeds from the lawsuit would go into an account to help women & children,I challenge all lawyers & people to ban together for victory for the life of the unborn & to deliver,the class action lawsuit to each state that allows abortions,In +JESUS+ name I release this prayer and bind all adversary’s on earth and in heaven AMEN+

Read the oath of enlistments, and you’ll find that a member of the military gives up most, if not all of their constitutional rights when they agree to serve.

Posted on June 22, 2011 at 7:28amThere is no Catholic religion, at least none in America. If there was, they’d abide by their own rules and kick the baby killers out. Since they leave them in to claim truthfully that they’re members of the Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church is radically against abortion, the logical conclusion is that the American Catholic Churches are fakes.

Posted on June 22, 2011 at 7:36amMy wife is a US Air Force MD. She’s an endocrinologist who treats, among other things, hormone disorders. She was recently told she had to “treat” gender identity disorder, in other words, taxpayers are paying for sex changes in the military. She’s done this for two women ho are in the process of becoming men. Another thing our tax dollars are paying for is Viagra.
I recently heard that the military spends about 50 billion a year on medical care. No wonder, when they hand out Viagra like it’s candy, and fund sex changes. I contacted my TX senator, but just got e run around.

And yet, Boxer, Peloser (er – pelosi) and Costa conspire to refuse to allow the farms to use their own water – all in the name of something called a “delta smelt” (think minnow – BAIT)

Any faith that would support someone who supports acts that are at 100% indifference to their beliefs aren‘t religious they’re just power hungry and greedy.
