Democrat Rep. Gwen Moore: Abortion is better for unplanned babies than having to eat Ramen noodles; Updated with video

The House is currently debating the GOP proposal to de-fund Planned Parenthood.
Abortion radicals are raging mad.
Raging mad that Republicans are exposing the abortion predators with story after story of criminal negligence, death, and exploitation at America’s taxpayer-subsidized death clinics.
Raging mad that Republican women dare to talk about the psychological harm and trauma to young women lured to Planned Parenthood and kept in the dark about abortion alternatives.
And mad that Republicans are describing in graphic detail the procedures used to rid the world of The Unplanned.
Most macabre abortion defense of the night so far: Just a little while ago on the floor (at approx. 9:05pm Eastern), Wisconsin Democrat Rep. Gwen Moore argued that abortion was better for unplanned babies than a life “eating Ramen noodles” or “mayonnaise sandwiches.”
Or, as Lori Ziganto summed it up: “So according to DemRep Moore, there is NO right to life. But there is a right to NO Ramen.”
Celebrate life: Eat your Ramen.
I still do!

SteveEgg notes that Rep. Gwen Moore is from Wisconsin. “Not a sterling day for Wisconsin Democrats between the state Senate and Gwen Moore.”
Annoy an abortion radical: Share your mom’s favorite Ramen recipe.
Twitter lit up tonight with Ramen references after my Tweet on Moore here. Dumb House floor remarks used to just fade away. Now, they dwell forever on the InterWebs.

Jill Stanek notes another jaw-dropper from Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: “This is not about abortion, this is about saving lives.”
I’m sure that’s what Philadelphia Horror doc Kermit Gosnell said every time he picked up his death scissors, too.

Update: 12:00am Eastern Debate ended. Final vote on the Pence de-funding amendment was postponed until the Hosue votes on all the continuing resolutions at the same time. Steve Ertelt has a wrap-up:
Abortion advocates said if Planned Parenthood loses its place at the government trough that women would be hurt.
“Planned Parenthood has provided health services to one in five American women,”Rep. Nita Lowey of New York said.
Rep. Barbara Lee of California called the amendment a “war on women” and Rep. Jan Schakowsky said Planned Parenthood “saves money and saves lives” by the non-abortion health care it offers and “now it not the time to restrict women’s access to health care.”
And Rep. Gwen Moore of Wisconsin went as far as implying that it is better to have an abortion than make a child be forced to live “eating Ramen noodles” and “mayonnaise sandwiches.”
But Pence talked about the myriad of ways in which Planned Parenthood has been proven to exploit women.
“The headlines and years of investigations speak for themselves," he said. “In 2002, Planned Parenthood was found civilly liable in Arizona for failure to report statutory rape. In 2008 it violated reporting laws in Indiana and California. In 2009 it instructed a girl in Tennessee to lie about her age so she could get an abortion without her parents’ knowledge. Recently in California, Washington, New Jersey, and New York, Planned Parenthood clinics have been accused of fraudulent accounting or overbilling practices. And last week, undercover videos showed Planned Parenthood employees apparently willing to aid human sex traffickers by coaching them on how to falsify documents and secure secret abortions for their underage prostitutes.”
“As the father of two teenage daughters, there are not words strong enough to portray my contempt of this pattern of apparent fraud and abuse by Planned Parenthood,” he said.

I like ramen noodles. I know I can afford better stuff.. but I really like ramen noodles.
Oh, and Gwen Moore is a moron.
I lived on ramen for a while when I was young and poor.
I’m glad my mother didn’t abort me to save me from that. Lean times are learning experiences.
You can’t parody these people. The reality is beyond any parody you could conceive.
I once was vehemently opposed to abortion as a form of birth control.
After the 2008 elections, I have changed my mind considerably. I have no problem with Lefties aborting their larvae.
What DOES bother me is when a girl from a good home that finds herself in a pregnancy that she should have been able to see coming….
….is brainwashed into making the child disappear forever, after being read her “Roe” rights by some scum-sucking Liberal butt fungus that is subsidized by MY TAX DOLLARS! ! !
The Democrats have become the Party of juveniles. It is time for the adults to take over the country.
***
It’s sickening to see the “compassionate” liberals, socialists, statists, marxists, and communists being so “nice” to the unborn babies whose legalized murders they enable.
***
I don’t think it is going to cut any ice with God when they stand before Him on judgment day and explain that it was just a little matter of “choice”. Not really a life and death matter.
***
Their next careers may be in a very hot climate. Global warming at its worst.

One of my boys loves Ramen noodles and always has. So what the hell is wrong with that? So I guess its wrong to have a child unless they can eat Wagyu beef every night. Well not all of us are Government Union employees.
Ramen rocks, the dems don’t.
So Nita wants 4 out of 5 American women to help pay for the services received by just 1 out of 5. That makes about as much sense as asking the public to fund sky diving. You could argue that it is in the public interest to fund parachutes because they are accident prevention devices similar to birth control. Sometimes they fail, so the public should also fund the hospital and burial costs that result. But what is seldom mentioned is that these activities are avoidable.
Unless you are kidnapped and forced to sky dive, it is a choice. And unless you are raped, sex is also a choice. What has always puzzled me is the number of feminists and politicians who get away with being so condescending to women. To hear them talk, you would be convinced that the majority of women are too stupid to make informed decisions about their sex life; therefore, they cannot be held responsible for their own risky behavior.
I don’t believe women are that stupid. I think there are more people jumping out of planes without parachutes because they don’t know about gravity then there are adult women getting pregnant because they don’t know where babies come from.
But I do believe that there are some women (and many men) who are willing to gamble on their future in exchange for instant gratification. Many fewer would be willing to do so if they had to pay the full price when they lose that gamble.
The last thing I am willing to do is to pay for Planned Parenthood’s religious rituals. If you want to offer up child sacrifice to your gods of lust, ramen, and mayonnaise, don’t ask me to help pay for it.
I had them earlier this week – looks like tomorrow also.
My daughter wrote the Ramen Noodle Cookbook. They fed her all through college!
You’d think all those unplanned babies born to single moms would be a huge market for Wisconsin produced government cheese.
Tomorrow – while Wisconsin is on strike – 1.5 billion Chinese will eat their noodles while they quietly buy up the world’s supply of rare earth metals…
I suppose there may be some people who’d rather die than eat Ramen. I just think they oughta be able to make that choice for themselves
“Better dead than poor” has on it the stink of eugenics.
It sure does.
May I just say, “F! the abortion radicals!”
That is all.
Better to be painfully dismembered than to eat Ramen. Lib stupidity at it’s stupidest.
Pray for “The Unplanned” and our congress.
My 2 childrens favorite recipe: open the package and give them the dry cake of noodles.
They both just love them that way. They’ll wald around the house crunching on them and making a mess.
God: How many here like Ramen Noodles?
Everybody plus 50 million unborn babies raise their hands.
God: Me too.
Not having an unwanted pregnancy (i.e. using condoms or celebecy)is far better for an unwanted child than abortion.
Ramen noodles got me through many a field exercise in the Army.
One of my favorite recipes was to take a the tuna with noodle pouch from an MRE, the cheese spread from another MRE, mix them together with a few spices brought along and you had an awesome creamy tuna with Ramen noodle.
I love Ramen noodles
My kid loves Ramen noodles
I have a home food delivery service and my kid still had rather have Ramen noodles than most of the gourmet meals the service delivers
Errah, If liberals are so into supporting abortions why do they also need more funding for PBS and Sesame Street?!! Seems like an oxymoron!
Look at it this way: You can take the money you use to fund Planned Parenthood and help fund meal programs for low-income families. Sounds like a win/win situation to me.
Can someone save this idiot from herself? I suggest duct tape. We should all hang our heads in shame that such stupidity is on display in a leadership role in DC. She doesn’t know that we didn’t put a man on Mars. She thinks the Super Bowl commercials are racially motivated and God knows what other idiotic things have come out of her mouth.
Why is she still being voted into office? It begs the question “which is more stupid-Sheila Jackson Lee or her constituents.”
Right you are, TV2.
Despite a lifetime of witnessing really stupid statements there are times I am shocked by the hardened heart of some.
Democrat Rep. Gwen Moore is such an example.
No surprise there.
It’s that diametrically opposed, 180-degree-, irreconcilably different, opposite worldview.
I know that I often post that…; but, it’s the truth.
I wonder why she didn’t trot out the old logic : ‘pregnancy isn’t a punishment–it’s an incentive to abort!’
Wow, and these people are in the Congress???
I heard another abortion nitwit on O’Reilly state that this is about “having healthy mothers”. I had two immediate thoughts, healthy mothers and dead babies, and how does one get called a “mother”, when they have just aborted their child? Not very motherly.
I was an unplanned baby. My mother chose not only to keep me, but to marry my father so that I would grow up in a family. We were quite poor when I was little and I’ve eaten far more than my fair share of ramen noodles in my lifetime. (Actually, I like them. I was a little bummed yesterday at lunchtime when I realized we were out.) Never, ever at any point in my life did I think, “I would so much rather have been killed in a cruel and barbaric manner while still in the womb than have to eat noodles and bread for dinner tonight.”
We went from a few dozen back alley abortions per year to 50 million abortions since Roe v Wade. Isn’t there a moral argument to be made here? Isn’t that genocide? Shouldn’t someone be asking why 50 million fetuses were aborted to save a few hundred women of which maybe a handful would have died?
Nah, too obvious. You are either for ALL abortions or against ALL abortions. There is no middle ground.
Now that’s an endless mental loop for ya. Ive been asking that question about Maobama for 2 years now.
That kind of thinking is way over the heads of liberals like Jackson Lee.
We could probably slash the number of abortions dramatically if we framed the argument in terms of what America wants (safe, legal but rare) instead of pegging one absolute against the other absolute.
There were abortions even when it was illegal. If we could at least get the number down closer to what it was when it was illegal, it would be great progress. How can anyone argue that 50 million abortions is anything but evil?
My head hurts just thinking about it.
HOLD UP now, you can’t expect people to give up their 45 seconds of orgasm just to resolve unwanted preganancy. We’ve got guv’ment funded abortion doctors for that. What are you, an animal??/sarc
I know you don’t mean that. Innocent life can’t be dispensible just because the parent holds objectionable political views.
On to the Ramen recipes: I use sauteed Ramen noodles to add the crunch to my yummy Chinese Chicken salad.
Yes.
Since college, newly married, a baby and bills, to now using Ramen noodles because I love them – you can take them to art form. Do a little stir-fry on the side with onion, carrots, broccoli, celery. Dump the packet into a small bowl and add 1 Tlbs. cornstarch – a drop or two of sesame seed oil with more soy sauce, water and garlic. Dump in the cooked noodles and heat. Uses up those little bitty pieces of chicken, rare steak, or pork roast you’d normally toss.
Fifty million and counting…and our genius legislatures want to fund more. Genocide!
what’s this ‘ramen’ that you speak of?
Does it come in a tin from Harrod’s?
My grandfather was born in rural MO. in the 1865 and told me he was raised on corn bread and molasses because troops destroyed their cows. He never once said he wished he’d not been born. Myself I like Ramen noodles
1 in 5 women have been helped by planned parenthood? I have 5 sisters, a mother, a mother in law, a wife, and 4 daughters and not one of them have ever been in a planned parenthood clinic. I think their stats are a bit skewed.
When I was in college, my wife and I were newly married with 6 kids (brady bunch, 3 & 3) so things were pretty lean sometimes. 4 packages of ramen, green onion, celery, carrot, maybe some left over corn or green beans, a can of tuna or spam (if we didn’t have any leftover meat) and three eggs stirred in. 6 satisfied kids to bed with a pretty small price tag for the parents.
When Ramen went on sale at about 20 for $1, we’d stock up (actually still do). Now I just eat them because it’s a quick and easy meal when it’s my turn to cook. And I love them with lots of soy.
Come to think of it I’m going to have some Ramen noodles for lunch…ymm…ymmmm!
that makes us Bushwacker cousins!
RE: video of Rep. moore:some of her quotes..
18 years old-ripe old age of 18-
un-planned pregnancy-
poor black children who were un-=planned–
I’ll bet her ‘baby’ is glad to be alive today—
wounder how her ‘baby’ feels today when she hears her mother state that she wished she had had planned parenthood…
C-CS
Basil: Biscuits? [he opens the tin. The rat is inside.] Would you care for a rat? Or … ? Just … just the biscuits then please, Polly.
Yes, next to the Wagyu Spam.
I’ll have a slice without so much rat in it.
The world is stupider for this woman being alive. Yet every life has value. Can we vote her out though please Wisconsin?
I’ve noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born. ~Ronald Reagan, quoted in New York Times, 22 September 1980
Couldn’t have said it better myself, President Reagan.
“I lived on ramen for a while when I was young and poor.”
I still eat Ramen noodles now that I am not-so-young and still as poor as I was when I was young.
As this debate roils on over at sfgate, one poster essentially says that she’s rather see unwanted babies dead than have to feed them on welfare.
Ugly, ugly, ugly.
We’ve taken another step into a brave new world: now, if someone exclaims “Death before ramen noodles!” we have to ask if he’s a food critic or a “pro-choice activist.”
read the label on a package of Romen Noondles, heart attack in a package.
Great! Another food nazi heard from.
Okay…if we can’t get rid of Roe vs. Wade, and we can’t rid ourselves of Planned Parenthood (I even hate that name), then let the taxpayers decide. I want to vote that not one penny of the money I have to pay in taxes can go for any abortion. That includes sales taxes and all those other “fees” that appear on my utility and phone bills. When liberal women have to foot the bill for their abortions, watch them scream like the banshees they are.
Oh…by the way, I love those Ramen thingies…but, it’s a stupid thing for that box of rocks Moore to say when we’re talking about subsidized murder of innocent babies.
Mass ignorance, poverty, and dependence is the result of leftist indoctrination, and Gwen Moore and her circumstances as an 18 year-old “mother” is exhibit “A” of that fact.

Would you rather (a) eat Ramen noodles or (b) have your brains vacuumed out
So many great comments. I truly believe that a ‘fetus’ is ALIVE. To use my money to pay for his/her murder is beyond disgusting.
If momma had a choice then she faces the consequences. If she didn’t have a choice then she should have one.
My son’s friend went to planned parenthood. She was sleeping around with every Tom… They gave her bc pills. NO mention of STDs, danger, etc… “just here are some pills”. Why are we paying for this?
ps I spent 18 months in Korea. I LOVE Ramon noodles. You can make any meal with them.
I don’t know about noodles, but apparently there’s a right to wagyu beef in the White House. But then, the resident there is the guy who thinks it’s alright to let babies who survived late-term abortions die unattended deaths and be disposed of in the trash. Don’t Democrats know that since the lion’s share of abortions are being performed on minority women, they’re actually killing their own future supporters? You’d think they’d want every potential welfare recipient they could lay their hands on.
House just passed the defunding of Planned Parenthood—
Yeeee Ha-
7 slime RINOs voted w/ the d s to continue taxpayer funding of the death dealing PP…
C-CS
Oh, they know. That’s why they are so intent on importing more poverty from south of the border. (with help from the cheap labor wing of the GOP)
The old fate worse than death: being raped.
The new fate worse than death: being fed ramen and mayonnaise sandwiches.
I’m flabbergasted. Has this woman ever
gone hungry a day in her life?
Exactly!
If you can’t afford to pay for the abortion, they you shouldn’t be able to get one. Maybe that will cause some of these libtards to actually think before they have sex and have “unplanned” pregnancies.
Why should I have to pay for an abortion? Because SCOTUS said it’s a right? Well, they said that owning a firearm for personal defense is a right too, so that means all anti-gun liberals should have to pay for my SigSauer P220 Carry.
The Second Amendment is actually in the Constitution, it wasn’t an “emination from the penumbra” like the supposed right to kill your children. Liberal heads would explode if they had to buy us guns. The more I think about it, the more I like it…
Cool… I’ll take the Judge for mine.
Am I nuts, or is she really saying that she wishes that her first child was never born? Is she really saying that she wishes she could have aborted her first child?
She’s really angry that taxpayers don’t want to pay for poor folks who make bad decisions? She’s really that upset that people who screw up their life and then go on the public dole are looked down upon by the people who put food in their mouths?
What a contemptible woman, what a horrible and contemptible woman.
Winning $100 from a radio station got me gas money to get to Spring Break during my freshman year in college.
Ramen noodles allowed me to spend my money more wisely on a whole lot of beer for that week.
Believe me, I’m very glad I wasn’t aborted.
Gwen Moore is less…and she needs to get a life.
Years ago, while still living in D.C., I saw on t.v. a luncheon “celebrating” Roe V. Wade’s anniversary. All of the people going into the event were well-dressed, well-coiffed, well-off-looking people (and yeah most of them were white). There are plenty of rich eugenicists who can keep Planned Homicide open without taxpayer money. But as Abby Johnson just said on “The O’Reilly Factor,” when it comes right down to it, they won’t support it with their OWN money. Typical leftists.
Liberals – Proudly killing the babies no one else will kill for 38 years straight and counting.

HI PLYMOUTHACCLAIM–#76. I don’t understand what people see in the Judge Pistol. Firing tests show that the .410 shotgun shell is not very good in a short barreled pistol. The .45 long Colt cartridge is a lot better choice.
***
However, the cylinder is too long for it, and the barrel is too short for the LC. A version of the pistol with a shorter LC only cylinder would be a superior pistol.
***
And a version that uses the .45 auto cartridge would be better yet since it is a higher pressure load designed for use in a shorter barrel. Some WW2 pistols used half moon clips and the .45 auto cartridge in revolvers strong enough to handle the load.

If I owned the Ramen company, I”d be making a big public donation to a pro-life organization about now.
New slogan: “We love kids, and kids love us.”
I wonder what her firstborn child said to her when she got home that night. i know if my mom said she wouldve rather aborted me than keep me, i would have no kind words to say to her. and my mom was 17 and poor as well. If you dont think you can take care of your child, or are too cowardly to try, then there are couples across the country who cant have children who WILL take care of him/her. adoption>abortion. and Ramen noodles rule!
So, they like RAMEN things -such as Obamacare- down our public throats, but can’t tolerate a kid eating a few frugal RAMEN meals till their family’s economic troubles improve?
What about arugula?
Isn’t that worth being born for?
And skiing in Vail?
I am a very good cook. But at times, when I was tired and my son was hungry, I would chop up some leftover meat, add some frozen mixed veggies and a package of ramen noodles to match the meat.
Nearly-instant dinner, with some actual nutrients.
I don’t think eating it did my son nearly as much harm as being cut into pieces in the womb would have done, eh?
My youngest son loves making his own ramen noodles. Sometimes he makes it for himself at lunch on the weekend. We let him add whatever spices he fancies along with fresh or frozen veggies, any leftover meat or the occasional mixed egg. For an eleven year old he can make himself a tasty and fairly nutritious meal from a base of ramen noodles. It got him interested in cooking, or at least knowing enough cooking to be able to feed himself when he eventually moves out.
The Distimguished Gentlewoman mentioned that she had three kids. After hearing her remarks, I can only express my absolute sympathy for those kids and the fervent hope that they have been able to rise above the legacy from which were born.
I also want to express an especially deep heartfelt sympathy for her husband
