House Votes to Ban Funds for Teaching Abortion Techniques

WASHINGTON (The Blaze/AP) — The House voted Wednesday to ban teaching health centers from using federal money to train doctors on how to perform abortions, the latest in a series of anti-abortion measures pushed by the Republican majority.
The author of the measure, Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., said she wanted to make it “crystal clear that taxpayer money is not being used to train health care providers to perform abortion procedures.”
The proposal was presented as an amendment to the latest of several GOP bills to restrict funding for the health care act that was enacted last year. This bill gives Congress control over spending for a program to encourage health centers to provide training to medical residents. The amendment applies to funding in that grant program.
The Foxx amendment passed 234-182 despite the objections of some Democrats that it would prevent health centers from teaching a basic medical technique that can be critical to saving a woman’s life during emergencies.
“This amendment would jeopardize both education and women’s health care by obliterating funding for a necessary full range of medical training by health care professionals,” said Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo.
The Foxx amendment and the overall bill to restrict the health care act both are likely to die in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Since coming to power in January, the Republican majority in the House has acted to write permanently into law the ban on federal funds to perform abortions, to make it easier for hospitals to refuse abortion cases and to make it more expensive for small businesses to choose insurance plans under the health care act that provide abortion coverage. The House unsuccessfully tried to cut off federal money for Planned Parenthood as part of the battle over this year’s budget.
“If organizations want to provide elective abortions or train abortion doctors they need to find someone other than taxpayers to write the checks,” Foxx said.
Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, said Foxx’s amendment was an unprecedented restriction on medical training. “Regardless of how one feels about legal abortion, reasonable lawmakers can agree that doctors should be as well-trained as possible to deal with any medical situation that may arise,” she said.
The amendment also states that no funds available under the grant program can be used to perform abortions and that teaching health centers will not be eligible for funds if they discriminate against providers that deny abortion services.
Douglas Johnson, legislative director of the anti-abortion group National Right to Life, said the anti-discrimination provision was important because “the Obama administration has severely weakened enforcement of existing laws.”
He said conscience protections get a better reception in the Senate and that, even if the Senate does not act, it was important for the House to push its anti-abortion agenda. “It usually takes more than one Congress to accomplish worthwhile legislative goals,” Johnson said. “It is necessary often to build up momentum over several Congresses.”

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 8:14amCSOJOURN – “The answer to the abortion question is simple. If you are a man, it’s none of your business, since you will never be pregnant”. So if a man gets a woman pregnant then all he should be responsible for is paying 1/2 the cost of an abortion and that’s it. He has no say if she has an abortion or not so he should not be expected to pay child support. That sounds fair doesn’t it? If abortions are none of men’s business then men should not have to pay any taxes that in any way have anything to do with abortions. Since it is highly unlikely that a man will get breast cancer, although it does happen occasionally, therefore it is non of his business and should not have to pay any taxes or give money to charity for breast cancer research. I am not black so it is none of my business when there is black on black violence.

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 4:55amAs a nurse, I have known many women who had to have abortions to save their lives. Women who have lupus, diabetes or many other chronic conditions sometimes find themselves in a position where their pregnancy is literally killing them. Some of you say you value life, but apparently you do not value the life of the mother. You would value the potential life of a morula composed of 16 non- sentient cells above that of a living breathing woman. Doctors need to be trained to save lives by performing abortions, when necessary. And also, in this country, elective abortions are legal. Therefore doctors need to be trained to perform them. The answer to the abortion question is simple. If you are a man, it’s none of your business, since you will never be pregnant. Women are the only ones who give birth, so the decision to birth or not to birth rightfully lies in their hands. If you are a woman, and you don’t like abortion, don’t have one. It’s that simple.

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 7:17amHmmmmmm if having a child would or could possably bring about death to the mother, maybe she should have been practicing safe sex or abstaining all togather. And the gerneal consensus is that between only 1 and 4% of abortions are done because of rape, incest, or a threat to the mothers life, also voids your argument. Using the higher number of 4% makes 96% of all abortions are done out of convenience. And your statement that ” The answer to the abortion question is simple. If you are a man, it’s none of your business, since you will never be pregnant. Women are the only ones who give birth, so the decision to birth or not to birth rightfully lies in their hands.” Is a fallacy perpetuated by the female supremacy hate group, the feminists. A man should have just as many reproductive rights as a woman.

Let’s throw in rape or incest. So you are in favor of banning 95% of the abortions that done, as they’re done for birth control & for convenience.

May God forgive us. At one time, sex between a man and a woman was a sacred thing. It’s purpose was for procreation and the creation of a sanctified (by God) being. If our society were truly moral, the man is the most responsible in this topic of abortion because it would never even had been a thought to have sex in the first place. Because of our immorality, we deal with sex at a base level. Women have it or do it for many different reasons and the consequence is a child born in the image and likeness of God whether it was intended or not. When we kill this child, we destroy what God mandates – that all life is sacred. Father please forgive us.

As a man I disagree, if I am the father or the money coming out of my taxes are paying for this abortion you’re wrong it is then my business. Telling a woman who is against the killing of unborn children not to have one is also a failed argument since her tax money is paying for the killing of unborn children as well. If the woman has the diseases you mention and know that getting pregnant will kill them, then why doesn’t your profession suggest in a hysterectomy? This way she doesn’t have to worry about birth control or abstinence or choosing the death of her or her unborn baby?

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 9:31pmFirst off, that level of division is much more difficult and expensive than you make it sound, and at the point where your “majority” is questionable (and at the very least a slim majority that’s only going to get smaller as younger generations gain power and older generations wane, and especially as women gain more political traction) I’d say, and a lot of people would say, it’s not worth the time and money, and very wasteful with resources that could just be helping some other cause that actually improves people’s lives.
And second off, this is no different than pacifists who HAVE to pay for the military, or anarchists who HAVE to pay for the police–the contribution of ANY individual plurality is FAR too small for government to have to rearrange its entire funding scheme every time someone gets upset about the incidental effects of spending. If that were the case, we’d never even have a government, because public money will always create winners and losers. There are far more important things for government to be focusing on that being nit-picky with funding that is overall objectively for the public health and welfare, with an relatively small portion of it helping abortion (that isn’t even a bad thing anyway, notwithstanding the mistaken opinion of the “majority”)

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 4:42amExactly–you don’t get to pick and chose what parts of the government your money (which is incidentally an infinitesimally small portion of the total) goes to. Many people who hate the military have to pay for because it serves a useful public function and the government has deemed it necessary to fund. Likewise, despite your objections, there are actually a lot of people who consider abortions not only necessary but socially useful (they, for a statistically established fact, reduce crime by preventing some of the least wanted children from being born), quite aside from there occasional necessity to saving the life of a pregnant mother. At the point where the funding in question only incidentally effects abortions (i.e. it pays for teaching a lot of OTHER medical techniques), which haven’t even been proved to be harmful anyway, and those who AREN‘T getting them can’t point to any real harm to themselves (other than paying taxes which they do anyway), while those who ARE receiving them can point to substantial personal as well as social benefits, I would say the government errs on the side of helping more people with legitimate and tangible interests than people whose interests are harmed by funding these programs which may incidentally help abortion (which many people still think is a good thing besides).

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 9:11pmFirst, there’s a MAJOR difference between abortion and “other examples of euthanasia” which have been offered , which at it’s LATEST phase, destroys life, a child, whatever, that is capable of reasoning as advanced as domestic cats or dogs. At its earliest phase, both in terms of viability outside the womb, responding to external stimuli, being physiologically distinguishable, capability of reason, and finally sheer count of cells, it is no more remarkable than the cellular matter ejected when you blow your nose. On the other hand, the elderly and disabled are capable of surviving outside the womb (even if they need aid to do so, their bodies are physically capable of regulating homeostasis), and are capable of reasoning and consent–they are capable of NOT wanting to die, and therefore, their wishes should be respected. Life is sacred because of it’s capacity to reason, not some silly essential arrangement of atoms that somehow makes it sacred (otherwise we’d have to have funerals every time you blew your nose, as you expel an equivalent amount of organic matter just as “alive” in every meaningful way as a fetus for the majority of its development).

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 9:18pmSecond, maybe those people named want to die? If they do, I see no reason to deny them their wishes, but that’s incidental to the actual discussion at hand–
Even IF abortion ISN’T beneficial to society (which I think it is–it‘s clearly never beneficial for society to have parents that don’t want to, and thus clearly are not capable, of being parents), that’s not the burden that YOU have to prove to interfere with it; YOUR burden is to prove why the state MUST intervene in abortion, ostensibly a very private medical procedure that has nothing to do with you, and certainly doesn‘t threaten the interests of anyone who doesn’t want an abortion and has nothing to do with it. You must prove why there is a clear and present danger to the public if women are allowed to get abortions that requires the government to intervene if you want to take away someone’s liberty (I shouldn’t have to be explaining this to self-proclaimed “conservatives”). I’m merely saying that the empirical evidence stacks up on the “non-interference” side of the abortion issue, EVEN IF you still think its personally immoral (which it’s not by any non-arbitrary morality, but whatever), that‘s not a sufficient warrant to interfere with OTHER peoples’ rights to get one–there are plenty of things, like adultery, that some (even the majority) consider immoral that isn’t illegal.

It is not a statistically established fact. The study failed to take into account that the population is growing older, a fact that the FBI does take into account. This is a very slippery slope when you start saying that aborting babies is good for society. You can use the same reasoning for euthanizing the mentally and physically handicapped, the elderly, and sterilization of the poor. As for not being able to choose where my money goes once the government gets it’s hands on it, you are correct. That is why we elect people who will try to see to it that our money doesn’t go into those type of programs.

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 11:00amin the past, women did try to kill their babies THEMSELVES, yes, this is true, usually with too much alcohol, caster oil, etc… but they did it themselves…. they did NOT go to another person to have them commit murder on their behalf. you want it done, do it yourself. its’ that simple. if you die trying, so be it. .. like you really care that much about life… actions.. your actions tell all.
we need to get rid of tax dollars completely, and if the governement on any level needs money, they can ‘hold a bake sale’ or ‘fund raiser’ if it is a worthy cause, americans will donate to it. the only job of the federal governement is to protect the united states of america. it’s the the people of their respective states job to determine what is best for their state. it is the local city/town/village/etc job to determine what is best for the area. the fed needs to step out of everything. everything needs to be local and state. IF all states agree on a law, good.. who cares. nothing needs be done, there doesn’t NEED to be a federal law.. what a joke that is. who scammed us into creating ‘federal laws’ ? state laws > federal laws, ALWAYS.

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 11:17amThis is just repugnant. There are cases when an abortion procedure is necessary (where you want to put necessary is a completely separate argument). Why in the world would you want a doctor to just not know how to do a procedure – that is completely legal? *This* is government taking away a doctor’s ability to choose what is best for his patient.

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 1:54pmAn abortion is never necessary when a woman gets pregnant it is a known risk that complications can arise. As to rape victims, it was not the babies fault. Abortion is an evil vile act that cannot be tolerated in any form. It is murder. My wife and I are expecting and we would never do anything that would equate to murder.

I work for doctors and I can assure you the federal government does not pay for their continuing education for saving lives, even though CEU’s are required to keep their license. What makes you think it’s right for the federal goverment to pay for continuing education on aborting babies for the abortion docs. Talk about bassackwards logic!

Report Post »Ok, what if your wife was dying? The child has died inutero and is poisoning her as her body has not miscarried? What of those who have suffered the injustice and humiliation of incest? And of rape victims? No, it is not the child’s fault. But what if the victim is a 13 year old? Or a woman in college who is not yet married? What about the trauma they feel? Would you rather them commit suicide than abort? Was it their choice to be raped in the first place? That is as horrific as that Judge telling the woman her attacker would be let free because she begged him to use a condom therefore making it consensual. Would you align yourself with him? Rape is not a joke and is terribly traumatic. Please think before you post.

Murder is murder is murder. I do not condone rape but again, you have to be a complete idiot to not understand there is trauma associated with abortion. But in society today we have so riddled away the value of life that we can justify away the killing of a baby. And btw if the baby has already died it is not an abortion genius.
