IRS to Audit Abortion Payments?

Ace Bandage

The one and only.
Simple solution:

Don't have unprotected sex. But if an abortion becomes necessary, use a coat hanger.

Problem solved. :hatsoff:

Oh hell no.

I don't believe in abortion except in certain circumstances and I don't believe that taxpayers should fund abortions. HOWEVER, this is going one step too far.

- Either make abortions illegal again, which really isn't an answer. It'll just drive it underground again or women will seriously harm themselves trying to do it themselves.

- Pass a law stating no county, state, or federal funding goes into abortions.

THEN there is no reason for the IRS to have to go snooping around in people's private affairs. As if an abortion isn't traumatic enough for most people. I just can't imagine having it dragged up again by a complete stranger at tax time.

I think what the American people are going to come to realize is that more than a few of these people who posed as "fiscal conservatives" during the last congressional election weren't that at all. They were really social conservatives, who saw an opportunity to jump on the bandwagon of fiscal conservatism that's currently in fashion. To win an election, a politician will call him/herself anything that is politically beneficial.

Given that our fiscal and economic situation is going from bad to worse with each passing week, it didn't exactly give me a hell of a lot of hope for the future when I read this:
The proposal, which House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has declared a top priority of the new Republican Congress, has 221 cosponsors and is expected to pass the House easily.

If this proposal was combined into a bill which would disallow banks engaged in money laundering from borrowing from the Fed or disallowing tax breaks and government contracts from companies which routinely employ illegal aliens, or freezing the domestic assets of companies and individuals engaged in hiding assets offshore, I wouldn't see it as such a big deal... it would just be part of a "big picture" move to close tax/spending loopholes. But just like the Meese Commission in the 80's and Bush's Obscenity Prosecution Task Force (which Obama/Holder just recently shut down), when someone claims to be a "conservative", you better find out exactly what they mean. As I sadly found out, after casting a vote for W. Bush in 2000, they might just be social conservatives (and not fiscal conservatives at all), who love to spend borrowed money on nation building exercises... and abuse their powers to watch every move of the American people (ya know... in the interest of "national security").
