Today is another day where I can have clarity.. No matter how bad Democrats are, they will always be better than the Republicans.
Today the House Republicans are officially pushing H.R. 3 aka "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act". Since Jesus told them that abortion is a sin Republicans with the help of a few slimy Democrats have come up with a bill to restrict funding to abortion as much as possible.
According to examiner:
H.R. 3 deals with a current law commonly called the "Hyde Amendment" which prohibits taxpayer funds being used for abortions. Under Hyde amendment, government funds distributed through programs like Medicaid cannot go to abortion procedures. In addition, any tax-exempt health insurance plan (which is most plans) must not cover abortions. Over the years the Hyde Amendment has provided exceptions for all cases of rape, whether by force or other means. H.R. 3 would do away with this exception for all cases of rape, and instead restrict the definition of rape to only cases of "forcible" rape.
The effects on some victims could be dramatic. As Mother Jones points out, a 13 year-old victim of incest would no longer be covered by Medicaid in order to get an abortion. A female victim of the "date rape drug" would not be covered by her insurance policy if she wanted to get an abortion from a resulting pregnancy. Any victim would presumabl have to prove to their insurance company that they were not only a victim of rape, but a victim of forcible rape.
Some analysts believe the bill will easily pass through the House. The Republicans dominate that chamber, and no GOP representative wants a vote against the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act" on his record. The media is just now beginning to ask Republicans about the new, restrictive definition of rape. Thus far even the bill's strongest advocates have been unwilling to answer questions about the new standard they seek to adopt
For your enjoyment this is all the people who support it. (Yellow highlighted men who voted for it). And as asinine as it sounds women support this too.
The Republicans are now Anti-Woman, Anti-Youth, Anti-Black, Anti-Hispanic, Anti-Muslim....These guys are crafting a nice island to govern from...
