Senate Republicans continue anti-Planned Parenthood political games with Zika funding

"Planned Parenthood is not a "special interest." It's a first-tier health care provider for millions of men and women, and in particular low-income women. Which makes it a first-line defender in a disease like this one. We've seen all the arguments before in the Republicans' jihad against Planned Parenthood—if the federal funds don't go to it, they'll just go to other providers, like community health clinics. And we'll see community health clinics, again, say that they aren't going to have the capacity to take on an influx of new patients. This means, as usual, there's one population that Republicans are punishing. Peter Shin, a public health professor at George Washington University, nails it: "When they're taking money away from Planned Parenthood, they're basically taking it away from young, high-risk women." Young, high-risk women who now could be giving birth to fatally and tragically deformed babies. So there's John Thune's special interest: Young, poor, high-risk women who are in no position to deal with having profoundly disabled children."

GOP Set To Spend 80% Of House Budget On More Stupid Abortion Hearings
GOP Set To Spend 80% Of House Budget On More Stupid Abortion Hearings
"Rewire reports that Blackburn's House committee will wind up spending $790,000 on this political witch hunt, using nearly 80 percent of the House’s available supplemental funding for the one investigation. Meanwhile, Zika funding is on hold in the Republican Senate, and House Speaker Paul Ryan actually bragged that his body's inaction on Zika (which forced the Obama adminstration to transfer money for Ebola to Zika) meant that "not a single taxpayer dollar is used to fund abortions.” Holding back funding for a rapidly spreading virus that causes severe birth defects, forcing poor women with this virus to give birth to a severely deformed child, and instead spending three quarters of a million dollars on a clearly partisan vote-getter witch hunt against the number one provider of health care for women: that's the Republican Congress. War on women? Ya think?"
