I am reading the links, etc but the most important question isn’t being answered. Planned Parenthood, and other federally qualified health clinics, don’t just get big blocks of cash every year. Just like a hospital, or private doctor, in our current fee for service insurance environment, they see a hypothetical…

God only knows. I racked up over a thousand stars last night. What in God’s name did I say to offend anyone?

Well, if they were concerned about “baby killing,” they wouldn’t be bombing the shit out of other countries, they would have done something about the water in Flint, Michigan, they wouldn’t be trying to destroy the EPA, and they would be concerned about kids getting shot in schools.

Say it again for the ppl in the cheap seats: ENFORCING THE RIGHTS OF A MINORITY GROUP OR ANOTHER TRADITIONALLY EXPLOITED GROUP (I.E. WOMEN) IS A FEDERAL DUTY. IT’S NOT A STATE’S-DISCRETION-TO-FUCK-PEOPLE THING.

Current resident of Florida feels your pain. This state went for Obama in 2008 and 2012. But in this election....the cities went blue. The backwoods and swamps went red. And Trump managed to dog whistle enough hate and Florida Man(TM) idiocy out of the swamps to win the state.

Spicer was out there this morning talking about giving family planning decisions back to states to do what their specific populations want, etc. Of course this won’t apply to, say, legalized marijuana or Housing and Employment Non-Discrimination policies. Because - as Edmund Burke would say - foolish consistency…

I live in Texas and politically, this fucking state tends to embarrass the shit out of me. I do feel like I need to at least address the “Texas voted for Trump” thing on behalf of those of us in Texas who aren’t fucking morons. Texas is a big state. You can drive for 24 hours straight and never venture outside…

Fucking THIS. If you’re going to do everything in your power to prevent women from accessing legal medical procedures, at least have the decency to say it’s because of baby-killing or whatever it is you ignorant assholes believe. But don’t couch it in this states’ rights BULLSHIT. That nonsense makes the whole thing…

Exactly - - Ernst is the kind of woman Albright was talking about with that “special place in Hell” quote. Women who not only refuse to help other women, but also actively campaign to hurt women’s causes & rights, all definitely sitting at the head of Satan’s lunch table.

I’m pretty sure that’s the objective. Republican logic. Meanwhile, this shitheel dropped a $16 million dollar bomb today, almost the equivalent of Planned Parenthood’s annual operating budget. Fucking evil.

I find it breathtakingly hypocritical that Republicans have a fit about a “Washington knows best” mentality when they’re the ones trying to prevent women from accessing a legal medical procedure.

Fuck. So bring on the STD outbreaks, hordes of unwanted babies, self-abortion attempts, and god knows what the fuck else. These selfish, ignorant assholes.

And Pence, fuck him too. They are both such giant turds.

Remember the words of St. Carlin:

“The Obama administration’s rule emboldened abortion providers like Planned Parenthood women, empowered federal bureaucrats women, and silenced our states us men in the process,” Ernst said in a statement. “Today’s action restores states’ men’s rights over a Washington-knows-best mentality women.”

Fuck you, trump.

I am so fucking over today.

Is everyone forgetting that the *Republicans* could have passed this without a single Democrat getting on board, and didn’t? Why is anyone playing into the narrative that the Democrats were the problem.
