Once again Republicans prove they are the party of Projection & Hypocriscy. For decades Republicans have been trying to convince the American people that it is the Democrats who want to get into people's personal lives. They say "Democrats want to control your life", the Democrats "want to control what you can & can't do, and run your lives for you."
And for the 100millionth time it is the Republicans trying to pass bills that invade an individuals personal life, and privacy.
Mother Jones reports that in a new bill brought to the House floor by the Republicans would force the IRS to ask people if they had an abortion. The "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act" would require the IRS to play the cops, and try to determine if someone has received federal funds for an abortion.
Thomas Barthold of the nonpartisan Joint Tax Commission, stated that your tax form would ask "If you had an abortion?" "Was it rape?" "Was it incest?" "Do you have a recipt for the abortion?"
If a woman is being audited, and has had an abortion in the last year, she not only has to describe the nature of her abortion, but has to provide info that she obtained an abortion in a way that doesn't make Republicans cry.
This has gotten ridiculous. You don't have to like abortions, and there is a legitimate debate to be had on the morality of abortions, but IT IS LEGAL. It has been fully legal since 1973 with the decision of Roe vs. Wade.
Republicans want to talk about how Democrats want to play big brother, get into your personal life, and tell you how to live, but what in the hell is this? The Republicans are actually entering people's personal lives.
I also thought Republicans were the party of jobs. What the hell does this have to do with jobs? My suggestion for Republicans is suck it up, and deal with the fact that abortions are LEGAL. Stop trying to invade a woman's personal life.
