So, right now...
I'm remembering something a blogger (think it was ginmar) had written on their info page...
Something along the lines of "The difference between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to women is that the Republican will call you a whore, the Democrat will just leave money on the dresser."
Yeah. Right now I'm pissed. I can't even come up the words to describe how pissed. I suppose I should be used to seeing women's healthcare being thrown under the bus, but, alas, I guess I'm not.
NARAL and Planned Parenthood: Ineffectiveness Anti-Choice Democrats Can Rely On
Democrats in Congress have just proudly signed a deal with the Catholic bishops which allows a bunch of old men who have spent the better part of the last century avoiding their own sexual issues to dictate access to abortion services in the House health care bill.
No tax dollars were going to go to pay for abortions, mind you, but now insurance companies that participate in the exchange can't even cover them, thanks to Democrat Bart Stupak. FDL's Jon Walker explains how it works:
If the insurance companies offering plans on the exchange are not allowed to turn down any costumers, it means no basic insurance plan on the exchange could cover abortion. There would be no way to prevent that at least one of the plan’s costumer would be be using affordability tax credits to help purchase the plan. So the effect is no plan sold on the exchange could offer abortion coverage as part of its basic package.
Fucking womb controllers.
