Does anyone remember 1993, when Bill Clinton assigned his wife Hillary the task of putting together a universal healthcare program? Republicans ridiculed it and called it “Hillarycare.”
The Republicans ran extremely misleading TV ads showing doctors with patients and then politicians coming between them to dictate medical care which, of course, was completely false since the Clinton health care proposals would have broadened choices, not limited them.
Fast forward to today.
Republicans in Texas, Florida and many other states where they have legislative majorities, are literally sending politicians to dictate medical choices for women, even in extreme cases of medical emergency where a woman’s life and her capacity for future fertility are put at risk.
So much for the Republican LIE when the promised to “get the government off our backs.”
Get the government off our backs? Don’t make me laugh (or more likely cry).
When conservatives say “get the government off our backs,” what they mean is “get the government off the backs” of ginormous corporations so they can have the “freedom” and “liberty” to run roughshod over the rights of workers, consumers and our shared environment, but they want to micromanage and dictate control over every aspect of your personal lives.
But for YOU? Conservatives and Republicans want to take away liberty and freedom from everyone else and micromanage every aspect of everyone else’s private lives.
