Sensenbrenner: If We Fund Planned Parenthood, How Will We Feed Starving Children?

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Wednesday, 9/9/2015 3:48 pm

Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, Republican of Wisconsin, used his time at today’s House hearing on Planned Parenthood to demand that the single pro-choice witness at the hearing choose between federal funding of Planned Parenthood’s preventative health care services for low-income women and “feeding starving children.” “Could you please tell us why Planned Parenthood needs to get over half a billion dollars of federal funding every year when there are other pressing needs, such as feeding hungry children, that maybe we should put that money into?” Sensenbrenner asked Yale Law School’s Priscilla Smith. “I’d like to know what your priority is,” he repeated, “Planned Parenthood or feeding hungry children?” When Smith noted that Planned Parenthood’s services, such as affordable contraception, STI testing and cancer screenings, help the “mothers of those children,” Sensenbrenner was baffled. “How can they be the mothers of the children when children are aborted through Planned Parenthood?” he asked.

1. Wouldn't be the first time he's done that.

His name should be Senselessbrenner.

2. I know. He used to be my congressman, but he was redistricted.

Now we have someone even worse, if that's possible.

Glenn Grothmann.

4. What happened to Wisconsin? When I knew people there everyone seemed progressive and intelligent.

Had some distant cousins living in Fond du Lac, but that was a long time ago.

6. Two words...

Koch brothers.

8. Wisconsin was the political laboratory, an incubator, if you will, for approximately how much money

would be required to buy the political machinery of one State, and to thereby gauge how much money would be required to purchase the entire country.

Now if only federal election campaign finance laws could be changed to allow for unlimited and secret funding of candidates and the FEC made powerless........

11. As we have discussed before,

My home state has become the next Libertarian State Model after Kansas,Arkansas,Utah,Nevada,and Arizona. Forgot one,South Dakota and they are just now in the throws of their Manufacturing Jobs being exported to Mexico as we speak. The NEW South Dakota business model is,Dairy Plants producing Cheese and Imitation sugar.

3. He does not care, one lick, one cents worth, about ANY starving children ANYWHERE

Not one bit.

Not now, not ever.

Not in this lifetime or any lifetime.

Just like not ONE person concerned about Benghazi gives one shit about the ambassador who died, they HATED him before they even knew he existed for all the same reasons they hate other good civil servants.

5. I'll answer your question, Mr. Sensenbrenner, if you answer mine first

I'd like to know what your priority is. Could you please tell us why the military needs to get over $2 billion of federal funding every day when there are other pressing needs, such as feeding hungry children, that maybe we should put that money into?

7. He could give a rat's ass about children...

I've got rocks in my yard that care more...

9. He's my Congressman and doing a town hall here in a couple days.

If I can make it, I'd like to pummel him with this.

10. you have my blessing! pummel away!
