Family Planning Amendments Act of 2004

[Jake]

Fact is the only 100% birth control is abstinence. If you can't keep your legs closed and you aren't responsible enough to purchase your own birth control, it's YOUR fault and you should be responsible for YOUR actions. Not the child you create.

This is a sick bill. Now we see what a danger it was to put migrendel in office.

Also, Mr. President you are a amoral man if you don't veto this bill.

Dubya, two things.

A) I believe, if Republicans had used Preferential voting, Migrendel would not have been elected.
B) This is not a sick bill. All it does is encourage the use of contraceptives, which is a good thing, and is basically a pro-choice bill.  

A) I heard someone say that earlier and that seems really stupid now.  We'll have to rectify that in December.

B) I'm sorry for using my definition of sick.  I believe anything that violates my beliefs like abortion, gay marriage, beastiality, and the use of contraceptives is sick.  I will use a different word in the future.

Still I oppose this bill and would hope President Kennedy feels the same way I do.

I don't like parts C and D of that act at all, but, I may be willing not to veto this little thing if the Atlasia National Energy Act proposed by Sen. Nation gets a little support swung its way by a few of you lefties.....

That said, I do dislike C and D quite a bit.....

Mr. President, compromise on some issues, but in others you just got say no.

[Jake]

It's a tough choice. I believe that both the environment and access to contraception are very important, so I offered a compromise.

I will change my vote, though. I realize this is quite a sad day for me, but I have decided that I cannot ignore the hundreds of thousands of women who every year die of complications from childbirth, who are maimed and have only a fistula to show for it, and who are left permanently infertile. I will vote to give the Treasury department an opportunity to hurt our environment, but believe me, we will not be held hostage. We will work to further strengthen the environment, and we will not forget this cruel choice we were forced to make. My only consolation is that millions of women will no longer be forced to hoe the hard road their sisters have had to, and that the prospect of a society of wanted, loved children is nearer.

How eloquent, even if it is misguided
