Mr. Anderson makes a good point. And what the Republican leadership seems to forget all too often is that there are many of us who normally vote Republican who DON’T agree with the Religious Zealots and their war on Women.
The Republican party needs to take a good hard look at how their anti-science, anti-freedom stances play with their more educated voters.
MENS’ health care and planning is also being thrown out, but the religious right knows that men hold no responsibllity for family planning, rape, incest, or other of those totally “Wimmins’” problems, that they ask for of course.
Like many Republican plans, there is little or no thought given to consequences. If Republicans succeed in destroying women’s careers by requiring them to bear children until they die of it, the middle class will completely collapse as it takes two people’s incomes to have any chance, even now, at such American aspirations as home ownership. Taxes will fall because of the decline in women’s incomes, which actually may be the purpose since that would further undermine effective government, thereby removing any regulatory restraint on business. Here’s a well-done and researched article on consequences which leaves things out like male irresponsibility but touches on some important points:http://prospect.org/article/do-poor-women-have-right-bear-children
at local pp // women health services = abortion ; cancer screening — not done ; contraceptive services = told where to get pill // gop drill baby drill [ i am not for fracking ] democrat kill babies kill // that is why I am an independent
My maternal great grandmother gave birth to 13 kids. Only 8 lived past the age of 12. Three never made it a year. Things have changed since the early days of the 20th century.
PP is a private non-profit organization. They will still exist but the government will not be giving them taxpayer funds anymore if the bill passes. Also it was science that showed us it was indeed a human life inside its mom not just a mass of tissue that PP told the girls. It was an abortionist doctor that brought the truth forward in his video, “The Silent Scream.” He quit doing abortions after that.
No, actually, there aren’t other organizations that do the same job. Texas used the argument you just did, and the result from a few years ago is that hundreds of thousands of women went without contraceptives and healthcare. And now it gets even worse.
Don’t pretend you care about life. You fetishize fetuses; people who are alive can apparently go hang.

What makes you think that is not the plan?

Good advice! Or maybe “Stick it in your ear!”

The problem with this cartoon is that it assumes the TeaOP Cares about the Baby After it is Born.

Or, in other words “who cares about the poor, and who cares if they need cancer or STD screening, either.”
