“It was still unclear if Senate Republicans– especially Senate Republican women who have expressed concerns about defunding Planned Parenthood in the past– would go along with House Republicans’ plan.”
The only way these women will stop this is if they believe it will cost them their seats, it is up to the folks they represent in their states to let them know how they feel about this.
Apparently, not all Constitutional rights are created equal.
Imagine the reaction if the Democrats tried this with guns.
It’s also worth noting that by providing sex education and contraception, two things the Republicans oppose, Planned Parenthood prevents far more abortions than they provide.
The Republicans are abortion enablers. Without Republicans, abortions would likely be relatively rare.
This proves what Rethugliklans have said all along: There is NO war on women.
HELP Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-TN) said that he wasn’t sure if Planned Parenthood would be included in the Senate Obamacare repeal measure when he was asked about it earlier in the day.
What a lying sack of shit. The Rethugs have a laundry list to hurt as many people as quickly as possible.
Many women voted GOP, so they deserve this. Women non-voters and third party nihilists too.
Goddamn. You’re a vacuous, pathetic antagonistic asshole. You’re a troll who only comes here to pick fights. Shouldn’t you be celebrating the latest celebrity death right now? Seriously, fuck you. You threadjack and hector. You lecture others about the need for “critical thinking” or how some posters have weak insights, but you’re the pus-brained Putin-puller who had the keen insight that David Bowie and Prince were both untalented hacks. Again, fuck you. You deplete from every post you appear in, your every utterance is insipid and sucks the life from the conversation.
Finally, most women don’t deserve anything this shitty world throws at them. How dare you. And one more tim: go fuck yourself, pedestrian blowhard.
How about a caption for this picture? One suggestion is “Think of how many women will die from breast and uterine cancer if they can’t get mammograms and PAP smears!”
Democrats, American politicians who act like Monty Python’s Black knight.
Here’s my entry:
“By golly, we really ARE a bunch of heartless assholes, aren’t we!”
“Those bitchez thought they were REAL citizens! Priceless!”
More like…
“We just screwed more women than Mick Jagger”
“And my hands aren’t even small!”
Sorry, they look like a bunch of dicks talking about their dicks.
as I have said before the only way to stop being railroaded is to derail the train.
No unanimous consent in either house for anything.
Debate and call for roll call votes even for adopting the minutes or their morning idol praising ritual by their cult leaders.
Boycott all committees that require some representative from minority to have a quorum.
Make them bring everything to the floor one item at a time.
No consent for any short cuts.
Obstruct, oppose and delay with every means possible for every item no matter how small and insignificant.
Make them run the clock out.
If this means that the usurper governs by executive orders so be it. Enough judicial ruling by the partisan thuglican apperachek in the judiciary that can now be turned against the usurper.
Do this for everything, budget, debt ceiling, naming post offices, approving military promotions, honoring retirements of deaths. Everything.
Shut it down
If you vote Trump, you deserve the consequences. DUH!
Dems vow to fight … ? Really ?
The Dems wouldn’t fight when they had something to really fight for and something to fight with. They hid and ran away from “the fight” as fast as they could. It was “who me … I don’t even know who Obama is”. Disgusting !
All they have to fight with is “a voice crying in the wilderness” but they damn well better use that. As loudly and as often as they can … make sure people know who did what in Washington and they were elected and these things are the consequences of this election.
Dems have to get over the idea that the American electorate is thoughtful and deliberate when determining who to vote for. They are not and look at elections as “voting somebody off the island” so communicate at an eighth grade level if they want half the country to understand.
Doesn’t matter because the Koch’s have bought and paid for every Republican Senator. They will all vote the way the Kochs tell them to vote.
It’s clear that the republican party is a religion and donald is the new king replacing Jesus.
they don’t need that pesky bible anymore .
As expected, first things out of the gate this year for KY by our petulant child Gov. Bevin:
Abortion illegal after 20 weeks, woman forced to get ultra-sound before as added obstruction and shaming before being allowed to get procedure.
Right to Work Law sailing through the R House, R Senate & petulant child Gov. Healthy protest on both counts but that won’t do much at least for now.
Good to see Al Franken appear, he’s been pretty quiet on the national level. I understand that during his first term he kept his media appearances to Minnesota directly for the most part. And that was a good idea to make sure Minnesota knew he takes his job seriously. Now that that has been firmly established, I hope to see him more nationally. In fact, I wouldn’t mind seeing him on a ticket as VP with Warren, except that 2 Senators makes for a few problems. He’s smart, he’s articulate and gosh darn, people like him. And to have a former comedian beat the clown…priceless.
Dems have to get over the idea that the American electorate is thoughtful and deliberate when determining who to vote for.
I’d say the Dems got that message pretty loud and clear now. Don’t forget to do your part too. All hands on deck.
Paul Ryan: “I just cut one”
Group: “Hurray!”
