CNN Correspondent Joins Board of Trustees of Pro-Choice Organization
CNN's Dana Bash is a new member of the board of trustees for an organization that, as part of its official mission, advocates for "reproductive rights" on Capitol Hill and at the United Nations. The organization, Jewish Women International (JWI), clarifies that its purpose is "empowering women and girls -- through economic literacy; community training; healthy relationship education; and the proliferation of women's leadership."
The organization's mission statement includes the following: "At the grassroots level at the United Nations and on Capitol Hill, our advocacy agenda is centered on violence prevention and reproductive rights." In today's abortion debate, "reproductive rights" is usually a liberal code-word for "pro-choice."
Bash, a CNN Capitol Hill correspondent, was born and raised Jewish. She was honored by JWI in 2010 as one of 10 Jewish "women to watch" for her work at CNN.
The group's official blog recently affirmed its pro-choice stance in slamming the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortions Act." The blog stated that "It is JWI's long-held belief that women and their families have the right to make their own decisions about pregnancy and health care, and that these decisions must remain a private matter." They also called the bill part of "insidious efforts to restrict reproductive freedom."

Just what is it with Jews? How can they be so smart and so clueless and the same time?
You really should pick up the new book by David Mamet...

It's called The Secret Knowledge, subtitled "The struggle of the Left to rationalize its positions is an intolerable , Sisyphean burden. I speak as a reformed Liberal." He is also a practicing Jew and has some fascinating insights in to the mind of the contemporary Jew in America. For the first time I think I understand why they vote like they do. I don't agree with it, but I understand it.
Jewish support for the Left is shocking. Barack Obama captured

78% of the Jewish vote.

What if a conservative - let's say, Hannity, Cal Thomas, Michael Medved, etc, joined the board of a "Right to Life" organization? The screams, 24/7 would be earsplitting demanding the IMMEDIATE firing of these folks from the media. My TV would get burned out with the howls of indignation from the left.
Dana Bash - I've nicknamed her, "The Beagle" (Note the resemblance) is a disgrace. If you looked deep into her soul, her religion is NOT Judaism, it is liberalism. "Liberal" Jews, "Liberal" Catholics, etc., do not speak to or for their faiths. They speak for liberalism and for themselves.
Will The Beagle be criticizes for this act? Of course not. If it even is mentioned at all in the state run media I will be surprised.
Bash does not represent Judaism - except in leftist circles. Read some of the writings of Rabbi Daniel Lapin to learn what REAL Judaism is all about.
No more taxpayer money for abortion ever

Even if women have the right to abort, a premise I do not support, that does not obligate taxpayers to pay for it.

...I find out about this. You are aware, are you, that Canada has the most extreme abortion policy on the planet? No controls whatsoever, fully-funded, on-demand abortion "rights" are recognized in nearly every province and territory in the country.
New Brunswick is the ONLY province/territory that has SOME control over whether or not an abortion can be funded through the province's state-funded health care, and now this doctor is claiming that this policy is "impeding her ability to deliver that service".
Which raises the question... How is a restriction of delivering a service a "human right?" Ok, I can see the point (although I wouldn't agree with it) if someone was DENIED a service, but a service provider demanding a right to PROVIDE a service -- at TAXPAYER EXPENSE??? REALLY???
I mean, if I were a consultant, do I really have the right to force government to provide me funding to enable me to provide my service -- abortion or otherwise? REALLY???
These doctors in Canada... Gotta wonder if they're so wrapped up in socialized medicine that they can no longer see the truth anymore.
I think I need a beer.

That Dana Bash is married to John King... The same John um um yea King who was picked to moderated a Republican debate.....
No possible conflict of interest in that the host's wife is part of a group that at it core is more anti-republican over pro-choice....
SOP for the MSM
