Tea Partier Dick Armey has promised that should the Republicans regain a majority they will once again make it a priority to undermine reproductive healthcare for women.
After stating that social issues wouldn’t matter if the country became insolvent, he specifically referred to abortion stating (caution: there’s a video at the link that starts automatically):
“Since President Obama has been elected, there has been extraordinarily high levels of funding for international abortions through what is called the Mexico City language. That fight hasn’t been had for a few years. Now that fight will be had with this majority,” he said, referring to his stated expectation that Republicans will win control of the House, and perhaps the Senate. He added, “these issues are too important to be left behind and they won’t be left behind.”
The truce he was asked about is in reference to a statement by Governor Daniels of Indiana (possibly a presidential candidate for 2012) who stated that the next president would probably have to call a truce on social issues in order to focus on the economy.
