More From The Hamilton Corner

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.”  Psalm 139:13

Senate Democrats blocked a bill that allocated $1.1 billion to fight the Zika virus.

Why you ask? It’s because Republicans refused to give more money to Planned Parenthood in the bill.

Democrats had been pushing to approve money to fight the virus, but balked when Planned Parenthood couldn’t get their grubby little hands on any of the money.

Once again, this shows that Democrats feign compassion, but when the rubber meets the rode they are rigid ideologues who have as one of their chief commitments, the slaughter of babies in the womb.

This also reminds us that Democrats seem to always fight for their objectives—even if it means shutting things down.
