Obama Leans On House Democrats To Remove Contraceptive ‘Stimulus’

So long, economy saving condoms! Reacting to public criticism over Pelosi’s aim to include contraceptives as part of the Democrat driven $825 billion stimulus plan, Obama is calling on Pelosi and House Dems to get rid of it:

House Democrats are likely to jettison family planning funds for the low-income from an $825 billion economic stimulus bill, officials said late Monday, following a personal appeal from President Barack Obama at a time the administration is courting Republican critics of the legislation.

Several officials said a final decision was expected on Tuesday, coinciding with Obama’s scheduled visit to the Capitol for separate meetings with House and Senate Republicans.

The provision has emerged as a point of contention among Republicans, who criticize it as an example of wasteful spending that would neither create jobs nor otherwise improve the economy.

Unless Pelosi is also planning to legalize and tax prostitution, then I’m not sure how these miracle, revenue generating condoms were intended to work.
