i would love to see all countries have a separation of church and state...ah, one can dream.

I saw that in the movie Hey, but KY is gonna get a life-sized ark! And the animals that were on the ark. Some of them. Except for the dinosaur. Dinosaurs were apparently eggs on Noah's Ark, according to the theme park. And did you know all dinosaurs were vegetarians, until Adam ate the apple? Then some became carnivores

well at least in the Quran there was time before time and all God had to do is think be and it would be. Didn't get far enough to find out when or how vegetarian dinosaurs became carnivores. You know some Christians might take what you said above as being offensive to say the least. However rest assured unlike some of their muslim counterparts they have no desire to cut off your head.

Some Christians take the entire Creation Museum as offensive.

Some Christians want women with acutely life-threatening injuries obtained via accident to be able to be refused treatment at emergency rooms if her emergency treatment needed to save her life involves taking the baby. Doesn't even require the hospital send her elsewhere. This is a change to current law that requires all hospitals to immediately give minimal life-saving emergency care without question. This bill is a resolution currently waiting for a vote in our great new Congress. Bringing this to the floor was more important to some members of our new Republican Congress than jobs and the economy.

I'm sure cutting off her head would be a quicker death than being refused emergency treatment in America and bleeding out.

Religion is a dangerous force when it forces it's beliefs on all citizens via law.

You are still blaming the Republicans for everything as usual.

I am indeed blaming the specific Republicans that brought and co-sponsored HR 258 into Congress for what it contains. Absolutely. The main writer is Rep. Joe Pitts (Republican-PA).

And you are still living in your make believe word.

Im sure you will say this has the doing of the Republicans even though this is Obama's doing. I know it has nothing to do with Egypt.

sounds like a good move.


'The first proposal would end the "year-round Pell" policy that let students collect two grants in a calendar year, with the second grant used for summer school. The official said the costs exceeded expectations and there was little evidence that students earn their degrees any faster.

The change would save $8 billion next year and $60 billion over a decade, the official said.'



the govt also needs to consider putting funding towards kids choosing to learn a trade, rather than pushing everyone to go to college. we're facing a shortage of plumbers, electricians, auto mechanics and hvac techs. happy to see that the gi bill will now pay for vo-tech schooling for vets.

Blaming a Republican congressman for introducing a bill is make believe?

What bill number is this? HR 258 as I found it is...

H.R. 258: To require the Office of Management and Budget to prepare a crosscut budget for restoration...
112th CongressThis is a bill in the U.S. Congress originating in the House of Representatives ("H.R."). A bill must be passed by both the House and Senate and then be signed by the President before it becomes law.

Bill numbers restart from 1 every two years. Each two-year cycle is called a session of Congress. This bill was created in the 112th Congress, in 2011-2012.

The titles of bills are written by the bill's sponsor and are a part of the legislation itself. GovTrack does not editorialize bill summaries.

i think it maybe be 358. but yeah, let's worry about the resolution number, rather than the subject.

Facesmack - my error. Try HR 358 Google: "Pitts Abortion 2011" for articles on it.

Edit: and also, this bill retains the horrible term forcible rape - rather than just rape. I guess if you are not bruised and battered, it's not rape.

That term was what caused the one bill that has already been pulled, to have been pulled.

(there have been three separate bills entered into this congress about abortion so far)

that's all you garnered from that post? it's a crappy law, who cares who put it up? another resolution pushed forth that does nothing to grow the economy, or build jobs... it's garbage like that which will assure that the reps majority in the house won't last past the next election. they take their chance to do something worthwhile, and produce a bs resolution like that. bravo.

Riot does it most of the time. Riot is always slamming the Republicans. I guess Riot's beloved Democrats are a perfect political party.

now, is that a more palatable post? i've said to riot that i thought she wasn't evenhanded, that she often seems to be cheerleading one party while critical of the other. you're the same way! funny that you accuse her of doing that, and you do the same-only for the other side. in other words, pot meet kettle! but, like i've read and thought was spot on, and said on here before: how great the sin when someone else commits it. now, tell me how you're able to discuss each issue, rather than always take one party's side. now, don't really try, as that's a rhetorical question.

Yup. I do indeed see alot in the Republicans within the past few years to slam. Yes, indeed. Forty years, I'm watching them move so far right they are about to tip the party right off the cliff.

When Cheney gets heckled at CPAC, you know it's changed.

The Democrats are not "my beloved perfect political party" - they are not even "my party", but yes, indeed, I've been happier with what the Dems have offered. In 2008, I looked at McCain-Palin, and I looked at Obama-Biden, and I voted Obama without hesitation. Damn glad I did so, too. Obama is doing just fine. And at this point, I'll do it again.

Precisely. The GOP can't only do "culture wars". They will get their chance on the budget this week!

I'm sure cutting off her head would be a quicker death than being refused emergency treatment in America and bleeding out.

One hopes so!

There are currently three new anti-women/anti-abortion House resolutions pending. They all are associated with (trying to change) the routine annual renewal of the "no federal funding for abortion" resolution that has existed since like 1970.

One was promised to be withdrawn. The one above, and another one, remains on hold. One may get past the House, but hopefully the Senate would stop them
