One of the things I always say about abortion if you’ve visited this blog before is that there have been 50 million abortions performed in the United States since 1973. It’s an American Holocaust that even Republicans are afraid to call by name.
Why?
If 50 million people were murdered anywhere in the world because they weren’t, what else would it be called?
The GOP needs to grow a pair, in my opinion and stop being so damn politically correct.

CBS News reports in Washington Tuesday the House began hearings on the controversial subject of abortion. House Republicans have proposed two bills that would add restrictions to federal funding for abortions.
Senate Democrats called the bills a distraction from their top priority, the economy, and they vowed to defeat the bills if they pass in the House.
Planned Parenthood has long been criticized by abortion rights opponents. The organization has 800 clinics across the United States. Recently a handful of them were targeted by a video sting.
CBS News chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford reports the FBI is investigating. The videos are troubling with actors portraying a pimp and a prostitute seeking abortions for young sex workers. The target: Planned Parenthood, the nation's leading provider of reproductive services, counseling, contraception and abortion.
Pimp in video: "We're involved in sex work."
Planned Parenthood Supervisor: "Mm hmm."
Pimp: "We have some girls that are kind of young like, 14, 15, that they might need an abortion."
Planned Parenthood Supervisor: "Mm hmm."
Pimp: "And, how is the best way should they could go about it?"
Planned Parenthood Supervisor: "They just show up."
In the past week anti-abortion group Live Action has released undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood staffers all too eager to help purported teenage sex workers get abortions and contraception.
Planned Parenthood Supervisor: "Here's the thing. If they're minors, just tell them to put down that they're students."
Pimp: "Students."
Planned Parenthood Supervisor: "Yeah, just kind of play along that they're students. We want to make it look as legit as possible."
Planned Parenthood has fired one worker in the videos and said it will retrain its staff. It reported the incidents to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and CBS News has learned the FBI is now investigating.
