You know, Ohio teabaggers must think we
the people are dumb as a litter box full of cat shit.
They obviously think that we don't know
how to read...that we cannot comprehend what we read, or that we
cannot discern political bullshit and mendacity when they throw it at
us.
Kasich's boys have done it again...this
time they are making no secret of their utter lack of regard for the
women of Ohio.
The misogynistic SOBs of the pro life,
right wing GOP have stooped to yet another low in Ohio, by secreting
an amendment inside the biennial budget bill that would defund
Planned Parenthood.
But they aren't calling it “DEFUNDING,”
They say it is an amendment that merely CHANGES the line up as to
who and when gets federal funds first. Planned Parenthood has been
moved to the bottom of the list by this amendment.
And the geniuses think that will keep
the defunding move within constitutional limits. And furthermore that
we won't notice their underhanded slight of hand magic tricks if they don't refer to their move as DEFUNDING.
Guess we weren't supposed to notice that the
measure was also modeled after the one down in Texas...
You know the one that shutdown all
healthcare for poor women of the Lone Star State.
Texas had to shut down the clinics
because they lost millions of dollars in federal money that would
have been used for preventive care for poor and middle class women.
And, so far, they don't have enough state funds to replace the lost
federal money to keep the clinics open.
Kasich and company have put Ohio in
the same stupid ass position.
Thanks to the pending amendment, here
in Ohio, the Buckeye State stands to lose more than $9.8 million in
federal funds that are earmarked to help women get preventive health
care and family planning services, and you know we don't have the
local money either.
In addition, the Ohio amendment
eliminates funding for the Violence Against Women Act, the Breast and
Cervical Cancer Mortality Act, the Infertility Prevention Project,
the Minority AIDS/HIV Initiative Program.
Nothing will be funded that smacks of
help or family planning services for women..
Face it...we are just shit out of luck.
Guess we could do what one of the compassionately conservative
lawmaking assholes said on the statehouse floor today....”don't
like it catch a bus...”
Um Hmmmm..
Make no mistake about it this bill is
strictly and completely about the pro birth movement. It's sole
intent is to stop legal abortion, preventing women from having
choice.
House Bill 487 says and I quote:
“The department of health shall ensure that all funds it receives through the Violence Against Women Act to distribute as grants for the purpose of education and prevention of violence against women are not used to do any of the following:
(1) Perform elective abortions;The Kasich's boys don't give a damn who dies from cancer or AIDS. They don't care who is denied contraception or birth control and is forced into an accidental pregnancy by rape, incest of other means.
(2) Promote elective abortions;
(3) Contract with any entity that performs or promotes elective abortions;
(4) Become or continue to be an affiliate of any entity that performs or promotes elective abortions.”
Even if there is no pregnancy, there is the threat of an STD from unprotected sex. What do you do if you neighbor rapes your little girl and she develops gonorrhea or some such disease.
The women serviced by Planned Parenthood....nearly 80% of them, in fact, fall 150% below the federal poverty level.
Some 60% of all Planned Parenthood services have absolutely nothing to do with family planning....It's just basic preventive health care for women.
If you feel like calling the fool who sponsored this amendment...his name is Ron Amstutz....his number is (614) 466-1474 …
Put this MoFo on blast...Let him know he ain't even cute with this BS.
While you're at it call John boy Kasich too.....who, btw, pays his male employees 56% more than he pays his girls...his number is (614) 466-3555
Um hmmm...no war on women....my ass!
