Joe Biden Endorses Use of Taxpayer Funds to Help Women Afford Abortions20 Oct 2022
President Joe Biden said he would support the use of federal funds to help women afford abortions, he revealed in an interview.
During an interview with NowThis News, a medical resident asked the president about the idea of using taxpayer funds to pay for childcare and time off work for women seeking an abortion — and for the abortion itself, reportedly.
“The answer is absolutely … I do support that, and I’ve publicly urged companies to do that,” Biden replied.
Details of Biden’s answer on abortion was revealed by Axios ahead of the interview, scheduled to air Sunday on social media.
The president lamented that some women seeking abortions could not afford to get abortions, because of other costs.
“[I]magine the women who need that kind of assistance, but have no money at all to be able to do this,” he added. “None. … What do they do? They don’t have the option.”
Biden praised companies for also stepping in to help women more easily obtain abortions, by offering free travel and paid time off to seek an abortion.
“I’ve urged them publicly as president of the United States … ‘This is what you should be doing,'” he said.
Biden recently stepped up his effort to push legalizing abortion nationwide into his midterm agenda.
On Tuesday, he vowed that the first bill he would sign in January would be a bill making Roe v. Wade federal law if Democrats maintained their majorities in Congress.
When asked by reporters Wednesday whether he believed that abortion or inflation was the most important domestic issue of his administration, Biden replied, “We ought to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. You know that old expression?”

Nolte: Democrat Solution to Everything Is Kill More Babies20 Oct 2022
“Rising Star” Stacey Abrams proved just how stupid she really is by trying to tie inflation to abortion.
While Democrats ridicule Georgia Republican U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker’s intelligence, Georgia’s most famous election denier, Stacey “President of Earth” Abrams, said this on MSNBC when she was asked about inflation:
Let’s be clear. Having children is why you’re worried about your price for gas. It’s why you’re concerned about how much food costs. For women this is not a reductive issue. You can’t divorce being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child.
Let’s be clearer still. … You are a stupid, stupid woman…
We all know what she was trying to do here. Polls show Democrats are focused too much on abortion and too little on economic issues. Polls also show Republicans surging all across the country.
But.
Democrats know their hysterical base needs to hear about abortion, needs those sweet-sweet baby-killing hits that soothe their neuroses and self-hate…
So.
Governor-in-Her-Own-Mind Abrams thought she’d show off her second-to-none political acumen by tying the two issues together. Listen, morons, if we kill more babies, prices will go down, and you won’t have to buy as much stuff.
If Stacey Abrams were any dumber, she’d have to wear a helmet. After all, this is the same Stacey Abrams who said the fetal heartbeat was a manufactured sound.
But Stacey isn’t alone.
No matter the problem, Democrats have a solution, and it’s more baby killing. Here’s that rocket scientist we call Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen:
“I believe that eliminating the right of women to make decisions about whether to have children would have very damaging effects on the economy and would set women back decades,” she said.
Yeah, the problem isn’t Biden’s supply chain crisis or Biden’s energy crisis or flooding the country with millions of illegals; it’s the lack of access to baby killing.
Over at that think tank we call the HuffPo, they’re saying killing da’ babies will help reduce a deficit, a deficit no one at the HuffPo ever cared about until killing da’ babies came up:
More than 4 in 10 births in the United States — 42% in 2019 — are paid for by Medicaid, the government insurance program for the poor whose costs are split between the federal government and individual states. At an average of $18,865 per birth and with one estimate that there will be more than 150,000 extra births annually because of Dobbs, there will almost certainly be more spending.
This, of course, is naked eugenics: Kill da’ poor people’s babies.
But look at how dishonest and desperate this HuffPo argument is. When it comes to budget expenditures, why don’t we compare 150,000 more babies per year to a million illegal aliens per year?
Naturally, Democrats want you to believe infanticide will save the planet:
Are you kidding me? Listen, what causes climate deprivation is population. If we had not been systematically forcing women to have children they don’t want or can’t care for over the 500 years of patriarchy, we wouldn’t have the climate problems that we have. That’s the fundamental cause of climate change.
That was Gloria Steinem.
So there you go, America…
Want to end inflation? Kill da’ babies.
Want to lower the deficit? Kill da’ babies.
Want to save Mother Earth? Kill da’ babies.
Kill da’ babies!
Oh, Satan, yay, Satan.
Kill da’ babies!

Funding for Agency Created in Obama Era Violates the US Constitution: Appeals CourtOct 20, 2022
The funding stream for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), created by Congress and approved by then-President Barack Obama in 2008, is unconstitutional, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Oct. 19.
The bureau, which has a mission to implement and enforce federal consumer finance law, was given the power to oversee 18 federal laws, ranging from those covering credit cards to student loans. It is funded by the Federal Reserve, as opposed to the typical funding stream of periodic congressional appropriations.
That mechanism violates the U.S. Constitution’s Appropriations Clause, which outlines the separation of powers into three branches of government, plaintiffs said.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit agreed, noting that the Federal Reserve is also outside of the normal appropriations process, and that the bureau holds its money in a fund that is permanently available to the bureau’s director.
“So the Bureau’s funding is double-insulated on the front end from Congress’s appropriations power. And Congress relinquished its jurisdiction to review agency funding on the back end. In between, Congress gave the Director its purse containing an off-books charge card that rings up'[un]appropriated monies.’ Wherever the line between a constitutionally and unconstitutionally funded agency may be, this unprecedented arrangement crosses it,” U.S. Circuit Judge Cory Wilson, a Trump appointee, wrote for the majority of the appeals court panel in a 39-page ruling.
“The Bureau’s perpetual insulation from Congress’s appropriations power, including the express exemption from congressional review of its funding, renders the Bureau ‘no longer dependent and, as a result, no longer accountable’ to Congress and, ultimately, to the people. By abandoning its ‘most complete and effectual’ check on ‘the overgrown prerogatives of the other branches of the government’—indeed, by enabling them in the Bureau’s case—Congress ran afoul of the separation of powers embodied in the Appropriations Clause.”
The 3–0 decision was joined by Circuit Judges Don Willett and Kurt Engelhardt, both Trump appointees.
The panel partially reversed a ruling from a lower court, which had dismissed the case.
A CFPB spokesperson told The Epoch Times via email that the agency’s funding mechanism is not “novel or unusual.”
“Other federal financial regulators and the entire Federal Reserve System are funded that way, and programs such as Medicare and Social Security are funded outside of the annual appropriations process. The CFPB will continue to carry out its vital work enforcing the laws of the nation and protecting American consumers,” the spokesperson added.
The Community Financial Services Association of America, the lead plaintiff, did not respond to a request for comment.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who helped craft the legislation that created the CFPB, said in a statement that the ruling was “lawless and reckless” and could stop the bureau from enforcing rules.
But others cheered the decision.
“This is a win for the basic proposition that laws ought to be written by people who can be hired and fired on Election Day,” Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) said in a statement. “This decision is simple: The CFPB’s funding structure created a fourth branch of government that’s not accountable to Congress. That’s just not how self-government works. This straightforward decision is a win for the rule of law.”
