Under the GOP’s current spending proposal, a program, called Title X, will be slashed completely, drastically reducing the services family-planning clinics can provide, including cancer screenings, testing for sexually transmitted diseases, and contraception for low-income women, Democrats say. Last year, the program cost $317 million. Separately, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) plans to file an amendment to the spending bill that would bar Planned Parenthood from receiving federal funds.
He filed a similar stand-alone bill last week. ...
“This is a war on women,” said California Democrat Rep. Barbara Lee. “They’re trying to inject their politics and their religion into local family planning.”
Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), the top Democrat on the Appropriations’ Committee’s Labor, Health and Human Services Subcommittee, which oversees the spending proposal, compared the move to Republican plans to repeal health care reform.
“Much like the repeal of health care reform, this is a Republican agenda to force women back into traditional roles,” she said.
"to force women back into traditional roles." How boring. Can you imagine having, or trying to have, a civil conversation with these gals? You wouldn't be able to get one word in.
One of the most tedious, tiring things about debating with, or for that matter even having to listen to liberals caterwaul, is that especially with regard to issues of race and gender, they unceasingly resort to worn out, intellectually vapid charges of racism and sexism. They cannot face reality, discuss issues maturely. It's much like a parent dealing with persnickety teenagers.
