Republican Spending Plan Signals a New Culture War

The morning after the House voted to repeal the health-care law, Speaker John Boehner walked into a TV studio in the Capitol complex to announce his next act: "a ban on taxpayer funding of abortions across all federal programs."  It "reflects the will of the people," Boehner proclaimed. "It's one of our highest legislative priorities."  "First repeal health care, now this.... What about jobs?" the first questioner asked after Boehner finished his abortion rollout. "I thought that jobs was the highest priority."
