McGurn, quoted by Hillyer at AmSpec blog:
...In the end, President Barack Obama was the one who refused to blink on Planned Parenthood. Another way of saying it is this: The president was willing to shut down the entire federal government rather than see Planned Parenthood's federal funding cut. According to press accounts leaked by Democratic aides, House Speaker John Boehner argued for the funding cut late into the evening. The president answered, "Nope, zero." He then said, "John, this is it." Mr. Boehner accepted the budget deal without that cut. A Republican aide confirmed more or less the same account to me....
Let's call a spade a spade.
The Speaker of the House thinks that "getting a deal" and "keeping Gummint running" is more important than a few thousand dead babies, paid for by taxpayers.
The Wisconsin (R) delegation, by the way, voted for this "deal".
We are not impressed.

You lie.
If you're so concerned about babies, why do you applaud slashing programs that increase their suffering once they're born? Your hypocrisy on this issue is troubling.
