As of 2:15  p.m. eastern, 165 contributors have given $9,354.99 to Open Left, putting us more than halfway to our goal!

To keep the momentum going, Open Left community member debcoop has pledged to match the next $500 in donations.  So, if you give right now, your donation counts double!.  Deb will also give another $500 if we stop the Stupak amendment from ending up in the final bill.

Your support, as always, is humbling and a great reminder of who we work for on Open Left.  The next six months will cover the most pivotal legislative fights of a generation--health care, climate change, financial regulations, reproductive rights, a new jobs bill and what to do with the leftover bailout money.  We want to keep making as big a difference as we can during these fights, and need another $8,645.01 to cover our operating costs until May.  Please, chip in what you can now.

Update: $170 into the donor match.  Please, take this chance to double your support!

Update 2: Woo-hoo! We hit the match! Thank you!

Still need to reach our overall goal--please, keep chipping in!

Taxes and Abortion (0.00 / 0)
Thinking about that Stupak-amendment mess, I was thinking about some options to hit back at the anti-choicers. And the best way to me seems to be through tax measures. I'm from the Netherlands so don't know much about the tax code in the US, but here goes:

Do abortion providers (clinics, doctors, nurses, etc.) and their support systems (equipment etc.) pay taxes? Do Stupak-Pitts approve of the Federal Government benefitting from taxdollars gotten through abortion. Don't think so.

Make abortion tax excempt. The amount families have paid for abortion should be exempt from taxation. It's income that was earned so that abortion could be performed. Eeeuw.
