10 Republican plans that will make your jaw drop.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

Normally my uncle sends me pseudo patriotic bullshit, but this morning, I got this in the mail. All of it looks legit, given at the bottom is the bibliography and most of them if not all are reputable sources. These guys always say they are against big government, unless that big government is aimed at fucking over women and their uterus.

Top 10 Shocking Attacks from the GOP War on Women

1) Republicans not only want to reduce women's access to abortion care, they're actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven't.

2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to "accuser." But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain "victims."

3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.)

4) Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids.

5) In Congress, Republicans have proposed a bill that would let hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life.

6) Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids' preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really be home with the kids, not out working.

7) And at the federal level, Republicans want to cut that same program, Head Start, by $1 billion. That means over 200,000 kids could lose their spots in preschool.

8) Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women, and Republicans are taking aim at them too. A spending bill would cut funding for employment services, meals, and housing for senior citizens.

9) Congress voted yesterday on a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our country.

10) And if that wasn't enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans. But Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. You can't make this stuff up).

1. NOW, Emily's List and Planned Parenthood

we should be supporting them and planning a media blitz as well as physical demonstrations in every state capitol.

2. When those evil bastards hear planned parenthood, they think abortion...

...but MOST of their work is done with the poor providing basic health care and prenatal care. Those bastards need to pull their head out and realize that abortion is not as common of a thing as they think. Dumb asses.

3. ...and in Florida

Sociopath and un-indicted fraud meister, Rick Scott, plans to eliminate all state support for low and no income medical clinics. That's children, Moms, and families out on the street. In America. The world's most prosperous nation. Where a sociopath can end up turning Medical care into his own personal pot of gold.

4. Excellent post, YellowRubberDuckie.

It makes clear: GOP is synonymous with "Hypocrite."

5. republicans are the enemy of America.

Why worry about terrorists attacking America? The republicans are doing much more damage to our nation than any terrorist would even dream of.

How would terrorists drive most of our population into poverty? How would terrorists take away rights (and money) from working people? How would terrorists legislate away women's rights?

All terrorists can do is knock down buildings. republicans are knocking down the entire nation.

6. I have always said that they have a hard on for the Taliban's ideals....

...and now they are pushing them on us. How long before Women no longer have equal rights or the ability to work and are required to have at least 2 children?
