Kids and adults don’t count, only the blastophore.

they make themselves such easy targets. there was an ad today showing all the republican congress people who voted against a veterans aid bill.

Since TX defunded Planned Parenthood, pregnancy deaths have risen 60%. Those Pro Lifers are all cheering and hugging their guns!

But Zika doesn’t cause premature death. For most people the symptoms are minor to nonexistent.It’s the horrific birth defects that it causes that are the problem.

But hey! Better to fight to remove funding for long term care for a developmentally disabled child than to provide funding to prevent the problem in the first place. /snark

Another equivalence gone to the dogs. It should not be either or both need to be addressed because all lives are important.

The Rich don’t really think it will happen to them. Meanwhile, the Zika-carrying mosquito shrugs and says, “No matter. Millionaires and bums taste about alike to me.” (apologies to archie and Don Marquis)

Why does the public support these right wing psychos?

Further proof that conservatives’ respect for life ends at birth.

How about just a bill for the Zika?

Isn’t this the same condolences they offer people who have died because of their reckless policies on guns? Sorry, thoughts and prayers, I am off to make more money.

And don’t forget: “We” also have to allow the display of the Confederate Battle Flag in all the most inappropriate places.

Why, oh, why, would The republican Congress want to eradicate Zika? It doesn’t kill, it just produces severe mental retardation in new-borns. And 18 years later you have another Republican – this is called long term strategic thinking in the GOP.

ChevJames again presents a perfect example of “conservative”(not), Republican blatant lies, as of course it was Republicans INSERTING DEFUNDING of Planned Parenthood and banning funding, in a rider, as there was nothing in the Zika proposal to provide such funding. Likewise it was Republicans who demanded that funding be taken from ongoing research to do any additional funding for Zika.

At least those folks never need to worry about the unblemished truth, as all they sell, or vote for, is warts.

emptc12But did your vocabulary increase, or did you have to look it up again each encounter?

The single issue voter represents the death of democracy.

What about the “other side” insisting funds for Planned Parenthood? Oh, that’s okay.

Being a secular Buddhist, I don’t buy the fraud of Biblical “sins”, like wearing wool and cotton.

^Paul may have preceded “Zorro” as the original gay blade, based on his hatred for women in his texts.

“The pre-born are innocent and deserve our compassion. The post-born are guilty and deserve what’s coming to them.” —a character in a strip by Jules Feiffer

Have to admit that my “stupid” party dragged its heels, got the opprobrium it expected and having learned exactly zero in three decades caved in anyway. There’s no problem, however, a cash flush Planned Profithood stands ready to abort the Zika babies. Not sure these little corpses can be sold, but it’s not all skittles and beer.
