Douchebag Supreme
It shouldn't even take three guesses to get who the major Douchebag is.
Bush vows to veto abortion-rights bills
The Republicans who held power in past sessions of Congress ensured that spending bills included language prohibiting federal funding for abortion except to save the life of the mother or in cases of rape or incest, and restricting funding for international family planning groups that might give advice on or provide abortions.
Now in the minority, House and Senate Republicans recently wrote the president urging him to make clear that any weakening of those restrictions would be unacceptable.
"The standing pattern is that appropriate conscience protections must be in place for health care entities, and that taxpayer dollars may not be used in coercive or involuntary family planning programs," Bush said in letters dated Thursday.
"I will veto any legislation that weakens current federal policies and laws on abortion, or that encourages the destruction of human life at any stage," he wrote.
The nifty "Americans Suffer..." poster (along with some other damned funny shit) can be found in the "Pro-life gear" section of the online giftshop at Whitehouse.org.

WTF is an involuntary family planning program??
I was wondering the same thing.
"involuntary family planning" means abortion in cases where the mother's life is not at risk, where the mother has not be raped or uh, raped. Also, it meanst giving advice on or providing abortions.
That's what I get out of the text and the story. Unless of course Bush is going all soft on abortion and is saying "ok give money for abortions, but NOT for coercive, involuntary family planning". I'm guessing that's a leap though. My money's on it being a rhetorical conflation of elective abortion/birth control with coercive, involuntary abortion/birth control.
