Bill to Defund Planned Parenthood Stalls in Senate, as Gov. Bobby Jindal Cuts Off Medicaid Funding

Jindal the creationist decides to harm the women of Louisiana
Politics • Views: 58,562

The Senate voted today on a Republican bill to harm millions of women, otherwise known as “defunding Planned Parenthood,” and the bill failed to advance. It needed 60 votes to go further, and the final tally was 53-46 in a vote that broke almost entirely along party lines.

And many of the very same Republicans who voted for this bill and are loudly inciting hatred against Planned Parenthood today voted for legalization of fetal tissue donation back in 1993, including Mitch McConnell, who you see in the photo above at today’s Senate hearing sporting a ludicrously dishonest sign. Just in case you were wondering exactly how hypocritical these horrible people really are.

In other Planned Parenthood news, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is taking advantage of the dishonest video smear campaign against Planned Parenthood to cut off Medicaid Funding to the organization — even though the two Planned Parenthood clinics in Louisiana do not perform abortions or participate in the fetal tissue donation program.

I’m really trying not to end this article with a string of insults to the absolutely despicable Republican Party, so I think I’ll just leave it at that.
