An interesting breakdown of time and money.
For a job that pays $174,000 a year you are 'expected' to raise $4,500,000 a year to keep it. That's like saying that the $10.00 per hour order clerk at McDonald's has to sell $2,068.97 per day to keep their job.

As long as Congress is entrusted to make trillion-dollar decisions affecting people's lives, there will be Americans willing to spend millions to influence the decision-making process.

Wonder if the people that filmed this will get prosecuted like the ones did that did the Baby parts for sale videos.

COL Ted Mc
PO2 Mark Saffell - PO; Thank you for clarifying your position. While I can't *quite* go so far as "murder" for "elective abortions during the third trimester" I can certainly come close.
By the way "Late" abortions constitute approximately 1% of all abortions and that includes ALL abortions after the 21st week (the "Third Trimester" doesn't start until the 24th week) for ALL reasons. Considering the statutory restrictions on post First-Trimester abortions (and expecially those concerning Third Trimester abortions) I wouldn't be at all surprised if the percentage of abortions which were "elective abortions during the third trimester" came in at less that 0.00001%.
In short, the flap about the huge number of "elective abortions during the third trimester" was in all probability a totally manufactured furor.

Capt Gregory Prickett Nobody forces a woman to a back alley or to use a coat hanger to kill her baby. That is a choice she makes on her own. No mother has the right to kill her baby, nor does anybody else. (Yes, there should be very limited exceptions).
It is too bad that the mothers of those supporting abortions did not share their feelings.

"It is too bad that the mothers of those supporting abortions did not share their feelings."
That's not very Christian of you, because based on what you have said here, you claim that abortion is murder, yet you wish that the mothers of abortion supporters aborted them? Doesn't the Bible tell you that if you wish something in your heart, you have committed that sin (Matt. 5:28)?
However, I'll forgive you, since it is not a person nor murder until the fetus is viable.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Just making a point that, as Ronald Reagan pointed out, those who support abortion have already been born. I doubt that, if you could go back in time, when your mother was pregnant with you, that you would support her decision to abort you. And, for the record, I did not "wish" it, I simply made a point about the hypocrisy of abortion supporters.

COL Ted Mc Great 'public service' show by 60 Minutes! So the congressional aides are the ones who study issues and advise the congressmen how to vote! Perhaps the aides are the ones the public should have more background information on?
