^ Unless you're Comey B. Then you're supposed to have da covfefe to stand up to da president and gently tell him he's committing treason.

COMET LYING AS USUAL SUSPECTS B. He didn't have Covfefe so instead of complimenting Da Don on his EXCELLENT work he misinterpreted everything Da Don was saying B. Covfefe would've solved Da issue B.

Greitens calls special session for Missouri lawmakers to focus on abortion

Gov. Eric Greitens is calling Missouri lawmakers back to the Capitol on Monday to debate protections for religious anti-abortion organizations and enact new regulations for abortion providers.

In a Facebook video released Wednesday afternoon, Greitens said the session would focus on “protecting pregnancy resource centers and proposals for common-sense health and safety standards in abortion clinics.”

“I’m pro-life,” he said, “and I believe that we need to defend life and promote a culture of life here in the state of Missouri.”

The first portion of Greitens’ agenda for the special session is to repeal a St. Louis ordinance that bans employers and landlords from discriminating against women who have had an abortion, use contraceptives or are pregnant.

Opponents of the ordinance say it infringes on the religious rights of pregnancy resource centers, which are faith-based, anti-abortion organizations that provide free services to women who want to carry their pregnancies to term.

Centers in Missouri are eligible to be reimbursed for some expenses from a state fund called the Alternative to Abortion program. Contributors to the centers can receive a state tax credit for donations.

“Municipalities should not be attempting to thwart constitutionally guaranteed liberties,” said Dr. John Yeats, executive director of the Missouri Baptist Convention.

But critics of pregnancy resource centers, which are also known as crisis pregnancy centers, contend they often pose as medical clinics while providing inaccurate information designed to scare women away from having an abortion, most notably that abortion is linked to an increased risk of breast cancer and that abortion can lead to mental-health disorders.

“Our hard-earned tax dollars should be going toward programs that alleviate poverty and feed hungry children, and not to support unregulated (crisis pregnancy centers) that lie to people seeking abortion care,” said Pamela Merritt, co-director of the abortion rights group Reproaction.

Greitens is also pushing lawmakers to enact new regulations on abortion providers in Missouri.

A recent court ruling halted a state law requiring hospital admitting privileges for doctors who perform abortions and mandating clinics that provide abortions to meet the same standards as outpatient surgical centers.

The law was similar to one in Texas that the U.S. Supreme Court struck down last June, after it sharply reduced the number of abortion providers there. After the court ruling, Planned Parenthood Great Plains and Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri announced it would begin providing abortion services in four Missouri locations.

Currently, the only Missouri clinic performing abortions is in St. Louis.

Greitens said the court ruling “weakened our state’s health standards in abortion clinics.” Exactly what regulations he’s hoping to put in place were not made clear in his announcement.

Allison Dreith, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Missouri, said the decision to bring lawmakers back to the Capitol to deal with these issues “is an appalling example of out-of-touch priorities.

“Make no mistake about it,” she said, “the intent behind the governor’s actions is to shame women for their personal medical decisions and make basic reproductive health care harder to access.”

This is the second special session that Greitens has called since lawmakers adjourned for the year in May. The 163-member Missouri House estimates special legislative sessions cost $50,000 to $100,000 a week, depending on how often the full chamber meets. The 33-member Senate, with one vacancy, estimates a $28,000 a week cost to taxpayers.

These costs reflect lawmakers’ daily per diem, mileage to and from the Capitol and costs of supporting session-only staff.

But then they think of those evil libbies massacring babies by the boat load and they'll forget about it 

 

[migu420]

People too lazy to think for themselves nowadays so they want information processed and fed to them, like baby chicks. This dud got people listening to him because he justifies their irrational reasoning of why they getting screwed or why they mad at certain populations of our world. Basically a propangandist for those trying to make sense of their inability to deal with their own life, so it has to be someone elses fault, right?

What's the point of this session's hearing?

Doesn't seem like it's going to do any good.

Sesh is Trump's famb... He won't throw him or the Republican party under the bus.

 

[RustyShackleford]

The Session hearing was already planned to discuss the DOJ budget. It was gonna happen regardless of the Russia stuff

I'm pro-life too, but that doesn't matter since I'm not capable of carrying a baby and it's not my body to say what a woman can do with their body. I don't see what's hard for others to understand there.

At least Mattis gave a pretty normal statement

Mr President, it's an honor to represent the men and women the Department of Defense, and we are grateful for the sacrifices our people are making in order to strengthen our military so our diplomats always negotiate from a position of strength. Thank you.

Heller has sent me a letter requesting me stop making daily calls to his office.

And I'm pretty sure famb is screening my calls anyway. That goes for main line, work phone, Google Voice and Digits number

I have done my part.

Since we're in a logic of "everybody for himself," I can say I no longer care that they will do it because this is what it will take for Americans to see what the GOP is all about. Voters were warned, and they still stayed home or casted the wrong vote.

Let the **** burn.
