Reversing Bush's far-right-wing decision with a far-left-wing policy is a special interest that belongs to the democratic party alone... that's unrelated to our local economy and should not be porked into the bill. I don't care what happens with planned or unplanned pregnancies inside of this country or out of it, it has no affect on putting Detroit back to work.
AFAIK, the funding of the program is still the same as when Bush was in power. We're just not saying that we'll limit which groups that get it based on a nonsensical metric.

And yes, actually, proper birth control and sex education in this country would do WONDERS. Anyways, Obama had NOT authorized additional money for this, and who knows what will happen when the current administration's financial review is completed.
Alright. this thread is just getting too stupid for me.
