Reince Priebus: Texas GOP shutting abortion clinics out of compassion for women

Chair Reince Priebus suggested to Meet the Press’ Chuck Todd Sunday morning that a bill in Texas that had shuttered a majority of the state’s abortion clinics was all about “compassion.”

“We believe that any woman that’s faced with an unplanned pregnancy deserves compassion, respect, counseling, whatever it is that we can offer,” Priebus said.

“But 80% of those clinics are gone!” Todd countered. “They have to drive 200, 300 miles for that compassion?”

“The issue for us is only one thing, and that’s whether you ought to use taxpayer money to fund abortion,” Priebus said. “That’s the one issue that I think separates this conversation that we’re having.”

Taxpayer money is already forbidden to fund abortions. The Texas law mandated that abortion centers meeting ambulatory surgical center standards; that was the point of Governor Rick Perry’s strange Joan Rivers riff. Todd did not follow up.

18. Thank you!

We should all be cursing when we here such utter bullshit!

[Kath1]

11. Damn right!

That is total bullshit and everyone knows it.

[Fred Sanders]

4. "Todd did not follow up." Of course not, not his job to challenge lies, in particular GOP lies.

The whole design of the well oiled American major media propaganda machine is to let lies be said and ripen in the breeze of national exposure, and never, ever follow up.

Would kind of defeat the whole purpose.

6. priebus makes my skin crawl, what a fucking creep.

[Kath1]

20. "what a fucking creep"

Amen.

[Brigid]

7. Men pontificating about abortion.

Gd I hate that.

[Kath1]

19. Same here!

They don't get pregnant so it is none of their damn business in my opinion.

[logosoco]

8. This is why I hate the MSM.

Just this man mentioning about federal funds for abortion, and many people will assume federal funds have been going for abortion and won't bother to realize THAT IT IS NOT TRUE. And a real journalist would have corrected the person who said it, but they don't do that anymore.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9. The GOP hate women

10. MTP is a gop "infomercial"

While the term "infomercial" was originally applied only to television advertising, it is now sometimes used to refer to any presentation (often on video) which presents a significant amount of information in an actual, or perceived, attempt to promote a point of view. When used this way, the term may be meant to carry an implication that the party making the communication is exaggerating truths or hiding important facts.

12. ...and the floggings will continue...

until morale improves.

Buck up, Ladies! The Republican Party is here to save your soul!

Yeah, it's

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. C'mon, people! We only need one more recommendation for the Greatest Page!

Let's get it done so more folks will see this important post.

[summerschild]

15. Once again this

shoat cosmetologist has to come on and explain why the GOP's shit don't stink.

I'm surprised he doesn't run a pony ranch on the side.

[rustydog]

16. Yup RRRRRRRRReince, just like a Republican to justify hurting women

Just like striking a woman is your way of saying you care. Right, RRRRRReince?

21. Letting a woman die from an ectopic pregnancy is compassion, didn'tcha know?

Do I need a sarcasm smilie???

Throw away the grown woman who needs one or she'll die, either from a dead fetus staying inside and killing the woman with septicemia, or a tubal pregnancy. Let her die from a preventable cause, that's Republican compassion.

My family once had a cocker spaniel who had to have a hysterectomy decades ago so she wouldn't die from septicemia since all the puppies were not delivered. Mammalian reproduction is pretty much the same whether you're a dog, a cat, or a human female.

Their utter ignorance of female reproductive facts by Republicans is worse than gobsmackingly ignorant. There are no words.

Compassion? Really? Abortion is not a walk in the park, but some women need it for medical reasons. Haven't they heard about [url=http://motherhow.com/what-is-an-ectopic-pregnancy-signs-and-symptoms/]ectopic pregnancy[/url], for example?
