Can You Spot the Irony Here?

2 days ago: First lady Michelle Obama, right, stops to have her photo taken as she helps to hands out meals during her visit to Miriam's Kitchen in Washington, Thursday, March 5, 2009. The center provides meals, case management services and housing support to nearly 250 men and women in Washington.

I'm Pro-Choice, but not how Obama thinks of it

My own commentary first:
I'm Pro-Choice, I want to choose how my tax dollars are being spent. I don't want to pay for other people to have abortions, if people want to do it, don't take my money for it. Do I expect others to pay for me to get my ears pierced? No.
Can you believe that Pro-Choice is actually 1984 style government?
Making abortions legal is one thing & wrong I believe, but making me pay for them in the U.S. and internationally is ridiculous. But then again the majority of people voted for this, but the majority of people are not for abortions. What did the people of Obama-Rama do to us?

President Obama has lifted a ban on federal funding for international groups that promote or perform abortions, reversing a policy of his predecessor, George W. Bush.
Obama's actions mean that hundreds of millions of your tax dollars will go to help groups like Planned Parenthood perform abortions around the world.

His actions came one day after the 36th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion in all 50 states.

Is this the Governments job??

I'm pretty sure that the majority of people already know how they get STD's. But like education, let's have the Government throw our good money into it since we already know that when Government gets involved with something it's usually not a good thing.

Democrats may have eliminated provisions on birth control and sod for the National Mall in the "job stimulus" -- but buried on page 147 of the bill is stimulation for prevention of sexually transmitted diseases!

The House Democrats' bill includes $335 million for sexually transmitted disease education and prevention programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

In the past, the CDC has used STD education funding for programs that many Members of Congress find objectionable and arguably unrelated to a mission of economic stimulus [such as funding events called 'Booty Call' and 'Great Sex' put on by an organization that received $698,000 in government funds.]

"Whether this funding has merit is not the question; the point is it has no business in an economic plan supposedly focused on job creation," says a stimulated Hill source.
