Jodie Laubenberg, the Texas congresswoman sponsoring this Texas "pro-life" bill doesn't give a damn about babies, she proves that in this video.

TX Anti-Abortion Representative Tried To Kick Pregnant Women, Kids Off CHIP
By Susie Madrak
For a very long time, I've said that whenever the Republicans do something even crazier than usual, it usually makes sense if you look at it through the lens of their ultimate agenda: Cheap, disposable labor. Why do you suppose ALEC is pushing these "pro-life" laws in all these states when they're funded by soulless, self-interested corporations? Because they love babies? Hell, no. It's to keep workers poor, too poor to make waves. Too afraid to speak up. Nice, docile, humble workers with so many kids, they're terrified to lose whatever job they're lucky enough to get.
Now look at this video of Texas state Rep. Jodie Laubenberg, the same shameless shill who insisted raped women wouldn't get pregnant because the rape kit "cleaned them out." Via PoliticsUSA:
Back in 2007, on the same TX House floor, Laubenberg repudiated the fact that the unborn are actually alive and worthy of consideration. Laubenberg added an amendment to an appropriations bill that would force mothers to wait three months to get prenatal and perinatal care under the Childrens Health and Insurance Program (CHIP). One of her colleagues, Democrat Rafael Anchia challenged her and pointed out that her amendment was in fact, very, very anti-life. At which point, Laubenberg loses it, flies off the handle, and dips into the cessschool of "I scream louder therefore I am right."

(9,109 posts)State Rep Laubenberg is typical for Texas right-wingers. Lots of grand-standing against abortion, but a tea-bagging Scrooge-ette when it comes to aiding healthy pregnancies and the mothers who choose to bring their babies to full term and birth.
Such politicos are forced-birth hypocrites.
