Discussion: Bobby Jindal Cuts Off Medicaid Funding to Planned Parenthoods In Louisiana

Was thinking the same thing. With Trump getting ALL the press, Huckabee and now Bobby have to figure a way to out-mouth The Donald. Good luck! End Times may be their only option left.

Lew-wee-zee-an-uh-- behind Mubai in it’s treatment of women.

Great! Make more women and moms miserable and sicker and without options. If every woman in LA got off their butts and voted, the state would go blue. They are getting what they voted for, it’s no tragedy really.

From that Politico article:

The sting videos released by the Center for Medical Progress depict alleged wrongdoing

Except that they don’t. One could say that they “allegedly depict wrongdoing”, though you would have to admit that those doing the alleging are making shit up.

The videos features general and hypothetical discussion of pricing. Despite the baiting offers by the phony biomedical reps, the main messages from the PP reps have been that the individual clinics determine what their costs are, and that the clinics are covering expenses, not seeking profit. The cost ranges mentioned are quite low, and would be very easy to document as being no more than what it costs PP to provide usable tissue.

Edit:
Jindal needs an exorcism, or, at the least, an intervention. His campaign is a stillborn horse, and he is trying to revive it by beating the people of Louisiana.

Is Bobby trying to get out in front of an issue, and maybe get some national exposure? Since he jumped out there are cut funding before understanding the content of the videos, all he’s done is prove how unfit he is to be an Intern at the White House, let alone President.

Fact #1: NO ONE at Planned Parenthood responds to a regular unintended pregnancy with “You should get an abortion.”

Fact #2: Out of all the services Planned Parenthood covers, only 3% is abortion-related.

Fact #3: Absolutely NO abortions performed at Planned Parenthood centers are publicly funded.

Fact #4: Many Planned Parenthood Health Centers do NOT perform abortions.

Fact #5: Planned Parenthood provides birth control pills, condoms, emergency contraception, and sex education to those in need.

Fact #6: Planned Parenthood also provides screenings for breast, cervical and ovarian cancer, HIV and STD’s, and just basic pregnancy.

.
Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of anyones willful ignorance.

Here’s a bit of good news: Senate Dems stopped the PP defunding bill. Two DINOs voted yes. Manchin and Donnelly from IL

I just wanna hug the person who convinced the GOP that defunding Planned Parenthood is a great way to court women voters.

And I hope Jindal rots in hell for depriving LA women of Planned Parenthood’s services.

Picking on poor women is always a winner for Republicans. Sorry, Howdy-Doody Bobby, you won’t make the cut for the debates this week no matter what you do.

Excellent WP article, as a side note our tea party county commissioners closed the women’s clinic here in my part of Montana by refusing all title X funds. They were too pure (really) to accept money from the feds, although several of the commissioners were ranchers gladly accepting crop subsidies. Part of their argument for closing the clinic was the local hospital would pick up the slack (which was news to the hospital that did not indeed pick up the slack). Now women have to drive 40 plus miles to Missoula for the free family services. The actions of the commissioners was indefensible and ideologically driven. I am happy to say that the next election the commissioners were tossed out and moderate (almost sane) repugs took their place. But now 2 years later there is hope that the clinic will reopen.

Slightly OT but about Missoula. I read an excerpt from new book entitled Missoula by Jon Krakauer and I learned Missoula has a big liberal and Democratic population, but elsewhere in MT they say the best part of Missoula is that you can get to Montana in 20 minutes.

FactCheck.org does a pretty good job of debunking the video here: http://www.factcheck.org/2015/07/unspinning-the-planned-parenthood-video/

Not that it will make a lick of difference to the nut-job right wing.

Threats of shutting down the government always works well too. It’s being threatened. Again. But this time Obama will be responsible for it, says Passive Agressive Paul.

All too true, Missoula is a pool of blue in a sea of red, and also (at 50k) the only city of any size in this part of the state. I have to admit I do miss at times the convenience and cultural offerings of a large city. But where else could I be driving down the main road from Missoula and see a bull moose with a full rack trotting by the highway.

This is why ‘block grants’ are a horrible idea.
