And it gets better, GOP Rep. Trent Franks used the markup to call out Obama as being “the most radically pro-abortion president in the history of the country.” Shockingly, this didn’t go down so well with Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Stupid Motherf*ckers).

(The Hill) — After a highly charged three-hour markup, the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday voted to approve a bill that would deny federal funding for abortions.

On a 23-14 vote, the panel approved H.R. 3, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, on a largely party-line vote. Puerto Rico Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi was the only Democrat to vote for the measure.

A GOP leadership source said the legislation should hit the House floor in 2011. The source added the House floor debate could be as early as this spring. The measure is expected to pass the lower chamber.

The panel defeated all 15 Democratic amendments offered during debate on the underlying bill that would codify current federal policies that ban taxpayer funds from paying for abortion and deny individuals from receiving federal tax deductions or credits in connection with elective abortion procedures.

Throughout the markup, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle traded barbs.

Anti-abortion-rights members accused their political opponents of “killing children” and compared fetuses to slaves or Jewish people during the Holocaust.

Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), who heads the Judiciary subcommittee that has jurisdiction on the legislation, served as the GOP point-man on Thursday.

“We’re getting to ask the real question — does abortion take the life of a child? . . . If it does, then those of us sitting here in the chambers of freedom live in the midst of the greatest human genocide in the history of humanity,” Franks said in his opening statement. Franks, who is considering a run for the Senate, attacked an amendment that he said would allow President Obama, “the most radically pro-abortion president in the history of the country, [to] have [an] easily available mechanism to block the implementation of this legislation.”

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) took offense to that characterization: “without doing a chronological analysis of presidents starting with George Washington,” she said, “I would appreciate if we could restrain our comments.”

Franks responded that “the record is clear. Mr. Obama certainly is on the record as the most pro-abortion president in history . . . I wish it weren’t true, I really do.”
