Rising Hegemon
At a late-night White House meeting between the president and key congressional leaders, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) made clear that his conference would not approve funding for the government if any money were allowed to flow to Planned Parenthood through legislation known as Title X. "This comes down to women's health issues related to Title X," a person in the meeting told HuffPost.
The negotiations are dominated by men: All of the principal negotiators in both parties are male, as are most of the senior staff involved. (House Democrats, led by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), have largely been left out of key talks.)
These riders, which obviously have nothing to do with spending and everything to do with the GOP's social agenda (and great job everybody...oh, sorry you men excluding women from being involved at all) were the same things that shut down the government when Clinton and Gingrich were involved.
Back then, these facts, and how the "deficit" issues were plainly bogus were actually widely reported to the citizens of this country.
Now...let's just call that unlikely.

How do we know the GOP are lying to their sucker base about abortion?
Well, during the six years they controlled all three branches of government, from 2000-2006, they mysteriously failed to pass a new abortion law.
And now, lo and behold, it is 2011, and they threaten innocent hostages with a government shutdown on a non-abortion budget bill, all because they supposedly care so much about abortion.
Gimme a fucking break...

Not only that, but since 1973 they've had numerous chances to "do something" about abortion. But they know that too many non-religious zealots back a woman's right to choice in her own health care. Yes, they play the sucker zealot base.
