Coronavirus stimulus and relief bill. Should be the easiest vote in the world, right? Weeeell...

Because your dear Pelosi put a hedge fund for abortions in the bill and that was the holdup. How in the name of heaven would funding abortions stop the virus? Are babies being born who are infecting people?

"So why doesn't planned parenthood make abortions free if they're all about affordability and access for all women rather than making Christians go against their conscience?"

Someone has to pay for it I suppose

I'm quite certain my tax dollars fund plenty of stuff that goes against my conscience, including dropping bombs on other countries unnecessarily

You don't hear me complaining about it! (Well, you do, but not in that sense)

She pushed back against the Hyde Amendment, which is always great to see because it’s bullshit

Nothing abortion-related made it into the final bill though: so no excuse to vote “no”

Bullshit to force everyone to pay for women to kill their offspring because their birth control failed? It doesn't prevent us from paying for abortions for the health of the mother or rape (which is less than%1 of abortions) so what is the problem?

Abortion is a reproductive health-related expense that only women will ever have to pay, so singling it out for defunding is sexist

"Only women will ever have to pay" that's a rather sexist statement. Men pay for abortions too. Maybe some are supporting their wives/ daughters in their reproductive choice to kill their future child. Others are scumbags who want to hide the evidence of raping their daughters, or want to keep their brothels in full swing when their pimped girls get knocked up while on the job, or maybe that boyfriend who threatens to leave a desperate girlfriend if she doesn't "get it taken care of" plenty of men dish over money to get abortions for women that they could probably care less about if the sex wasn't so good.

Only a woman would ever be obligated to pay for an abortion. If a man ever wanted to pay for the procedure on her behalf, that's up to him.

So why doesn't planned parenthood make abortions free if they're all about affordability and access for all women rather than making Christians go against their conscience?

Name 'em and shame 'em

The Coronavirus relief bill still passed overwhelmingly. But what if there were more ultra-Right Tea Party-style Republicans in Congress like a lot of GOP voters want?
