Democrats are prepared to top paying the troops and shut down government over tax-payer funding of abortion in D.C.

The democrats position is so ridiculous, I would say they will lose the battle of public opinion on this one. Of course, they do have the mainstream media to help deceive the public.

Instead, Reid said that “the two main issues that are holding this matter are up the choice of women, reproductive rights, and clean air. These matters have no place on a budget bill.” By clean air, he means the amendment to keep the EPA from regulating carbon dioxide emissions. That rider is not included in House Republicans’ bill.

The only other rider in the one week C.R./year-long troop funding bill regards taxpayer-funding of abortion in the District of Columbia.
