Image via WikipediaI have been talking about the totally imbecilic campaign by Republicans to de-fund PLANNED PARENTHOOD, the main organization that helps women from getting pregnant with unwanted children.
I said imbecilic because as we know, the Republican’s main focus right now is cutting spending / costs to bring down our staggering deficit and by de-funding Planned Parenthood especially with regards to Medicaid patients, they are dramatically increasing the likelihood of many more poor women having unwanted pregnancies.
The resultant children of these unwanted pregnancies will most likely become lifetime recipients of our tax dollars, one way or another…so how are you cutting costs by de-funding Planned Parenthood?
Anyway, this morning I read that those same Republicans want to cut WIC (Women, Infants & Children) food benefits that help feed those poor women and their offspring.
So let me get this straight, you are promoting unwanted pregnancies by poor women on the one hand and when they have these children, you are refusing to feed them?
I am sorry but I just don’t get it…
