Today, when Bob was asked on Laura Ingraham’s radio show, “Can you promise that as governor you’ll use the veto pen to ensure that Virginians tax dollars are not used to fund Planned Parenthood or abortion?” he responded by saying,
Yeah, I’ve said that I would do that. I don’t think, just like the federal government has long decided with the Hyde amendment that federal dollars should not be used to pay for those sorts of services. We shouldn’t be doing that in Virginia either. And so that’s kind of the sense I think—that’ll be part of what we’ll get done. (The Laura Ingraham Show, 10/27/09, 3:59-4:33)He’s following through on his blueprint. On page 56, he wrote,
Where Republicans have been successful in using parliamentary tactics or compromise to get bills passed, the results, to the degree verifiable, have been good. Clearly, the banning of federal funding for abortion through the Hyde amendment and the encouragement of adoption for unwed mothers in the Adolescent Family Life Act, have helped to constrain the ability of low-income women, those most likely to become pregnant out of wedlock, to have abortions.
Remind us, Bob, why exactly do elections matter?
For all those that are thinking that his thesis was 30 years ago ... he still has these believes and as a governor he wants to make them law. We cannot allow this to happen. Vote for Deeds on Tuesday.
