The revelation came during an exchange Sunday morning on ABC's THIS WEEK.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?
PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that?
PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy.
Contraception? That’s it? Sure thing, Nancy.
Good to see Planned Parenthood will be taking their rightful place at the trough along with everyone else. We wonder, though, if there will be any sort of racial set-asides or preferences with respect to funding. We don’t want all that family planning money going predominantly to white folks. Fortunately for all involved, Planned Parenthood does have some experience in these matters.
UDPATE #1: what if...
H/T: The Liberator Today
"The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness." This seemed to be a reference to the Declaration of Independence, or at least to the principles in that sacred political document.
The moment I heard those words, I immediately noticed -- as did others who quickly commented -- that Obama neglected two crucial things from the most famous line not only in the Declaration of Independence but in the essence of the American founding: 1) He left out the unalienable right to "Life;" and 2) He left out the words "created" and "Creator" -- the God who "endows" that "Right," a right which is a "self-evident" "truth."
When we read the above, originally, we thought it to be parsing a little too finely. But after placing it in the context of what Pelosi said and watching the video we decided that the devil is always in the details, isn't it?

Very cool link between the Pelosi remarks and the "choice" video.
Very glaring stuff!

"We wonder, though, if there will be any sort of racial set-asides or preferences with respect to funding. We don’t want all that family planning money going predominantly to white folks."
Not a problem, Dean. No need for set-asides since most Planned Parenthood Clinics (where I do not doubt most of the moo-la will go for "contraception" (read totally unrestructed ABORTIONS once FOCA is passed ) are already established in predominately black and hispanic neighborhoods.
BTW, I'm pretty sure when Lincoln referred to God, he meant the Almighty as a person. In the same vein, the Devil, he is in the details. Hope I'm not going too religious on your here, but is anybody thinking about prayer as the solution?
'Dawg, thanks.
CZ, I was hoping my links would betray my facetiouness but your point is well-taken, indeed. And when you ef things up enough to where you don't hold sway in any of the 3 branches, you better start prayin'.
