Of course it is a human rights issue. The rights of millions of women to access to health care. How can’t he see that? How dare he use the language of human rights to deny those services.

Rubio is correct: Defunding Planned Parenthood will deny millions of women of their right to health care.

I suppose when you start with a false premise, no facts, and a predetermined outcome, you can make up and say anything.

For example, I saw Senator Rubio gulping lots of water on Television. Extreme thirst is a symptom of rabies. He clearly has rabies and should disqualify himself from high office.

And I didn’t even have to doctor the video.

You know how you know this is complete BS? Rubio has submitted zero bills prohibiting research involving fetal tissue. He has submitted zero bills challenging Roe v. Wade. Zip. Nada. Same with everyone else in the GOP ranks putting on their bestest faux outrage looks.

I am already really looking forward to the general election, no matter who the republican candidate is.

Since none of the money going to Planned Parenthood is used for abortions, and all of it is used for women’s health, yep Rubio is right, if they defund Planned Parenthood it will a serious human rights violation, unless you don’t think women aren’t fully human.

“”“redistributing the funds to “federally qualified health centers” because women’s health is still “important.”""

Well thank God for that. I was tending to think all that lady stuff was just a bunch of crap. Do the chics vote?

How long do I keep asking “how long”? How long do they pull this shit off? It’s bad for min wage earners to get a pay raise. More guns will solve the shooting epidemic. “I’m no scientist but the scientist are full of shit”. We need to cut education to improve it. As for that “trickle down”…just hold your fucking horses…its only been 35 years. Its coming. I could max out the TPM servers with this shit and they keep getting away with it.

At some point no matter who you are you have to agree that too much is too much and that applies to bullshit too.

Are the unborn who are carried in the US by non-citizens, actually citizens themselves? Is it the same before they are born as after they are born?

I wonder why they think attacking planned parenthood is a good idea. I’ve not seen a poll that says, for the general population, it’s a winner. It’s not like he can walk this back later.

What other language is he going to use? “well fuck the bitches I don’t BELIEVE in abortion so no one can have it” ? I don’t think that would work so the truth is ruled out. Of course its a political issue. If it’s being batted around in Congress its a political issue. BLM is about human rights issues but I don’t see them getting any support from Rubio.

Damn this shit gets old. They don’t like it so you can’t have it. They don’t ‘believe’ in it so you can’t have it. That from the left side of their mouth while the right mumbles “freedom”. The exasperation is not in the fact they do it but in how long they’ve gotten away with it.

There is no poll evidence that firing up a load of heroine is good for you. You do that because you cannot help yourself.

"Planned Parenthood is an organization that’s been caught repeatedly and now on video trafficking in fetal tissue of aborted children. "

Except they haven’t. Period. Full stop. End of Story. Fin.

And don’t forget “and when you’re fully aware that conducting any real Congressional investigation will only serve to disprove your predetermined conclusion, exonerate the accused and embarrass the accusers…”

Because, of course, a woman’s right to control and care for her own body is not a human right!

When it comes to something as fundamentally important as “human rights,” why stop at little old Planned Parenthood? I look forward to Marco calling on Americans to boycott all Chinese-made products.

If they think that donating fetal tissue is bad, then why not make that illegal?
Of course that’s not what they really care about.

Sometimes I think that these people only view women as vessels for future dead soldiers.

Rubio’s entire argument is based on a lie. His conclusion is absurd.
