* Women in Ohio that are tired of the elected Republicans and their concern for each woman's uterus, should breath a short sigh of relief today.
Dispatch:
Ohio House Republicans yesterday backed off an effort to block Planned Parenthood from getting
federal family-planning funds — at least for the moment.....
.....The controversial Planned Parenthood measure would have created a priority system for
distributing federal family-planning money, putting Planned Parenthood at the bottom and likely
cutting off about $1.7 million it uses for birth control and preventive health care....
.....In fact, GOP leaders said a separate Planned Parenthood defunding bill introduced last year is
likely to start getting more attention....
It is time for the women of Ohio to convince the elected Republicans to stop pandering to their right wing base and start listening to a majority of women in Ohio. Women should stop voting for right wing Republicans that are more concerned about your uterus than job creation, school funding, and fixing our crumbling roads. Throw the uterus-obsessed Republicans out of office. Women deserve health care, especially those unable to afford a private physician. Women need access to the yearly exams, breast exams, and birth control that Planned Parenthood provides. As the Republicans support legislation that covers their "male enhancement drugs," they continue to try to restrict health care for women. Enough!
***** Shame on Republican Rep. Darrell Issa for saying those nasty things about President Obama's administration (see HuffPost). There are two things obvious from Issa's comments:
1) Issa has forgotten his own scandals.
2) Issa hasn't read about the scandals in the first four years of the administration of George W. Bush.
Thankfully, Salon has the list: (This is short sample from Salon.)
1. Memogate: The Senate Computer Theft...
3. Dark Matter: The Energy Task Force....
32. In Plame Sight....
33. Abu Ghraib.....
Darrell Issa needs to improve his memory!!!!
