Title: Will GOP Fund Planned Parenthood But Not Border Wall?

When Donald Trump stood in the lobby of Trump Tower on June 16, 2015 and announced he was running for president, he told all who listened to "mark" his words.

"I would do various things very quickly," Trump said.

"I would repeal and replace the big lie, Obamacare," he said.

"I will build a great, great wall on our southern border," he said. "And I will have Mexico pay for that wall.

"Mark my words," he said.

Fifteen months later — after he won the Republican nomination and less than two months before his general election showdown — Trump released a letter to pro-life leaders.

"As we head into the final stretch of the campaign, the help of leaders like you is essential to ensure that pro-life voters know where I stand, and also know where my opponent, Hillary Clinton, stands," Trump wrote.

"I am committed," Trump said, "to: ... Defunding Planned Parenthood as long as they continue to perform abortions, and re-allocating their funding to community health centers that provide comprehensive health care for women."

In his inaugural address, Trump did not back away from his pledge to secure the border.

"We will bring back our borders," he vowed.

Three days later, he used executive authority to reinstate the Mexico City policy, which denies federal funding to organizations that provide or promote abortions abroad.

But he needed congressional action to defund Planned Parenthood at home, and a congressional appropriation to begin building the wall he said would ultimately be funded by Mexico.

A week after Trump's inauguration, Vice President Mike Pence told the March for Life that Trump would keep his pro-life promises — with the help of the newly elected, Republican-majority, pro-life Congress.

"Life is winning again in America," Pence said.

"That is evident in the election of pro-life majorities in the Congress of the United States of America," he said. "But it is no more evident, in any way, than in the historic election of a president who stands for a stronger America, a more prosperous America, and a president who, I proudly say, stands for the right to life — President Donald Trump."

"I like to say that over there at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, we are in the promise-keeping business," said Pence.

"That's why on Monday, President Trump reinstated the Mexico City Policy to prevent foreign aid from funding organizations that promote or perform abortions worldwide," said Pence. "That's why this administration will work with the Congress to end taxpayer funding of abortion and abortion providers, and we will devote those resources to health care services for women across America."

In 2011, after Republicans won back control of the House in the 2010 election, then-Rep. Pence introduced an amendment that would, as Pence put it, "deny any and all funding to Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates for the rest of the fiscal year."

"I rise tonight because I also believe it's morally wrong to take the taxpayer dollars of millions of pro-life Americans and use it to fund organizations that provide and promote abortion — like Planned Parenthood of America," Pence said when his amendment was considered on the House floor.

The House passed Pence's 2011 amendment, including it in the first funding bill approved by the then-new House Republican majority. But then-House Speaker John Boehner subsequently cut a spending deal with the Democrats in the Senate and the White House that did not include Pence's amendment to defund Planned Parenthood.

According to the Congressional Research Service, the Government Accountability Office determined that Planned Parenthood Federation of America affiliates received $400.56 million in Medicaid reimbursements in both federal and state dollars in 2012. Planned Parenthood affiliates, according to GAO, also spent $64.35 million in federal Title X funding in 2012.

When the House Republican leaders this year put together their weak and redistributionist reconciliation bill to "repeal and replace" Obamacare, it included language that would have denied Medicaid money to Planned Parenthood — for just one year. But it would not have denied Title X money to Planned Parenthood — because reconciliation bills do not deal with discretionary spending like that doled out under Title X.

When principled House conservatives opposed that Obamacare bill, the Republican leadership did not bring it up for a vote.

Now, Congress faces an April 28 deadline to pass a new government funding bill.

There is currently no talk that it will include language to prohibit funding of Planned Parenthood.

But there is talk that it will not include the language that President Trump has requested to provide $1.4 billion to begin his project to build "a great, great wall on our southern border."

The Republican House can pass and send to the Republican Senate a bill that funds the border wall but not Planned Parenthood. Or they can pass one that funds Planned Parenthood but not the border wall.

The former course of action would fulfill the campaign promises that got their president elected. The latter would appease congressional Democrats and the liberal press.

So, which will it be?

I have said for years on this site that the Republican Party, as a party, is a pro-abortion party that lies to its voters to get elected, and that the Republican Party primarily serves the economic interests of the super-rich, who love cheap exploitable labor.

I base this on the fact that Roe v. Wade was decided by a Republican Supreme Court, and that the Republicans have been in continuous, unbroken control of the Supreme Court ever since. The entire court has been replaced in that time. Four Democrat justices have been appointed by Democrat Presidents, but TEN Republican justices have been appointed by Republicans - and yet Roe still stands.

Under HW Bush, the Republicans controlled the White House and both Houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court, and yet abortion still stands (and no Border Wall was built, and immigration was left wide open).

Under Bush, the Republicans had all of the power, but they did nothing on either issue.

And now, under Trump, they have even MORE power. For now, not only are all four branches of the Federal government (Executive, Judiciary and BOTH Houses of Congress) under Republican control, but a Constitution-amending 35 states have both their legislatures and their governorships in Republican hands. The Republicans have just demonstrated, by the nuclear option to seat Gorsuch, that the Democrats have no power to stop them if they want something.

So, the only thing stopping Republicans is Republicans. Truth is, the Republicans are fucking liars. They are not, and never were, a pro-life party. They are not, and never were, for border control. They are a party for the economic and social interests of the billionaires of the Northeast, Texas, and California. Abortion and Immigration as issues are PURE boob bait for bubbas, to reel in the duped rubes who keep on voting for these lying shitstains, and who keep on pretending that they are somehow different from the Democrats.

Well, yes, the Republicans as a party ARE different from Democrats. The Democrats want to get everybody (including the duped rube working class Republicans) social security pensions, health insurance and public education. But the Republicans want whatever the billionaires want, and they do not want - and will never do - whatever the billionaires do not want.

That's the way it is, and that's the way it always has been including under Reagan.

Reagan appointed two abortionists to the Supreme Court, making DAMNED SURE that the abortion law he signed as governor of California would remain the law of the land.

Republicans are liars. It's what they do.

With Trump there was - and still is - the HOPE that we've elected somebody who actually will keep his promises.

To do that, he is going to have to wrestle his own party to the floor. Truth is, the Republicans never want to stop abortion, and they never want to close that border.

Trump does.

The question is: will Trump impose his will, or will the pro-choice, pro- immigration Republican Party defeat him?

Truth is, WHATEVER the Republicans do - no matter how badly they ass-rape their constituency AGAIN, that constituency really ARE the boob-baited Bubbas, they'll STILL say "Well, thank God the DEMOCRATS didn't win."

I'm rooting for Trump. The Republicans could do everybody a favor by sticking their heads in the oven and turning on the gas.

Why, yes.

Yes, they are.
