Bush Abortion Funding Part 2

From the second Presidential Debate, October 8 - Bush/Kerry

Audience Question: "... suppose you are speaking with a voter who believed abortion is murder and the voter asked for reassurance that his or her tax dollars would not go to support abortion, what would you say to that person?

George W. Bush answered: "... My answer is, we're not going to spend taxpayers' money on abortion."

But as I’ve already pointed out on this blog (10/12/04), the Bush administration is spending more than the Clinton administration on abortion – including selected surgical abortions, chemical abortions, and the nation's largest chain of abortion centers, Planned Parenthood.

Thanks to Steve Lefemine for the following data…

1) President Bush is funding surgical abortions via Medicaid (Title XIX) in the HHS Appropriations bills: [see all bills that follow at http://thomas.loc.gov]
* Check out HR 3061 for FY 2002, signed by President Bush (PL 107-116) on 1/10/02
* Check out HR 2673 for FY 2004, signed by President Bush (PL 108-109) on 1/23/02

2) President Bush is funding chemical abortions via Medicaid (Title XIX) and the Title X birth/population control and Planned Parenthood funding program:
* Check out HR 3061 for FY 2002, signed by President Bush (PL 107-116) on 1/10/2002
* Check out HR 2673 for FY 2004, signed by President Bush (PL 108-109) on 1/23/2004

3) President Bush is funding the nation's largest perpetrators of child-murder-by-abortion, Planned Parenthood (report murdering over 200,000 unborn children annually by surgical abortion alone), through both Medicaid (Title XIX) and Title X, with OVER $50 MILLION per year through each program:
* Included in HR 3061 for FY 2002, signed by President Bush (PL 107-116) on 1/10/2002
* Included in HR 2673 for FY 2004, signed by President Bush (PL 108-109) on 1/23/2004

4) President Bush has increased the Title X funding levels over $26,000,000 more than the last Clinton budget:
* The Title X funding level for FY 2001, the last Clinton-influenced budget, was a total of $254 million, of which over $58 million went to planned parenthood
* In FY 2002, George W. Bush's first full budget year, the Title X birth/population control and Planned Parenthood funding authorization increased over 11,000,000, to $265 million (HR 3061 for FY 2002, signed by President Bush on 1/10/2002)
* In FY 2004, George W. Bush's most recently completed full budget year, the Title X birth/population control and Planned Parenthood funding authorization increased even more to $280 million, over $26,000,000 ($26 million) more than Bill Clinton's last budget year! (HR 2673 for FY 2004, signed by President Bush on 1/23/2004)
