"Apparently I’m supposed to be tolerant of religion. I’m supposed to be tolerant of people that hate gays and intimidate women that have to deal with the stress of getting an abortion, I’m supposed to be tolerant of people that are trying to get their views to replace to the constitution and to govern us all. I’m supposed to be tolerant of utter ignorance and bigotry. If that’s the case then I will NEVER be tolerant of religion. I’ll only be happy when it’s completely dead."

Jon Stewart and Kristen Schaal give examples of how Republicans can link abortions to just about any program they want to de-fund.

  • KRISTEN: Our taxes are going to abortions in ways no one is even talking about.
  • JON: Well, let's talk about it now. How?
  • KRISTEN: Well, for starters, we have to cut funding for fire departments.
  • JON: Why would that be?
  • KRISTEN: Helllloooo? What if an abortion clinic catches fire, and firefighters put it out, paving the way for more abortions? Abortionist firefighters, paid for with our taxpayer dollars.
  • JON: Well that's like saying we need to de-fund the Coast Guard because abortion providers go to the beach.
  • KRISTEN: I hadn't even thought of that. But you're right -- no more Coast Guard! Give me another. This is fun.
  • JON: F.A.A.
  • KRISTEN: Mile-High Club. Number one cause of unwanted pregnancies between Newark and LAX.
  • JON: Mining Safety Commission.
  • KRISTEN: Mile-BELOW Club.
  • JON: Library of Congress.
  • KRISTEN: Sexy librarians.
  • JON: NASA.
  • KRISTEN: Space abortions!
  • JON: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
  • KRISTEN: Jon, please. I'm getting pregnant just listening to you.

"

The debate over defunding Planned Parenthood turned personal Thursday night as California Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier told colleagues of her own abortion experience. Speier spoke out after Republican Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey read at length from a book written by a former abortion provider, now an anti-abortion activist, who described in great detail how a second-trimester abortion looks on an ultrasound.

Speaking next, Speier said that she had to stray from her prepared remarks because “my stomach is in knots. “That procedure that you talked about was a procedure I endured. I lost a baby,” Speier said, revealing that she had an abortion at 17 weeks gestation of a wanted child because of medical complications. “But for you to stand on this floor and to suggest, as you have, that somehow this is a procedure that is either welcomed or done cavalierly or done without any thought is preposterous.”
