Anti-abortion groups fuming over the Republican failure to defund Planned Parenthood as part of ObamaCare repeal, are eyeing tax reform as the next vehicle for their cause.

The groups want Republicans to include language in a new budget to defund Planned Parenthood so that it could be included in a tax reform package that the GOP plans to move through the Senate under special budgetary rules that protect it from a Democratic filibuster.

“The failures to pass repeal and replace, including redirecting those dollars to other providers that don’t do abortions, has been incredibly disappointing to us,” said Marilyn Musgrave, vice president of government affairs at the Susan B. Anthony List, a D.C.-based group that works to elect anti-abortion members of Congress. “It didn’t happen under health care, so now we’re asking that under the 2018 reconciliation bill Congress redirect these dollars.”

Some Republicans don’t want to include the Planned Parenthood language in the new package, however, for fear it could hurt their chances of passing the tax bill.

1. Keep fuming. Maybe you'll get used to the flames in hell.

[Ligyron]

2. They're using Susan B. Anthony's name to push their crap?

It's like when they attach the name "freedom" to any of their causes when it's usually is anything but.

3. Well, well, well. Looks like the rubes

are finally waking up to the fact that they have been used. Who could have seen that coming? Oh, wait. Anyone with more than two brain cells.

4. The more the GOP pisses off trumpies base the

better. Just keep driving home that these are people and administration that trump himself picked.

8. Waiting for the time when the next big conspiracy theory is that Trump is a democratic plant

working with the Clintons, Obamas, Reptilians, and apparently the Jesuits (seems like a common theme I'm seeing now) to discredit the GOP and conservatives to the point of irrelevance. I would say it would be an interesting social experiment to see if we could get that to spread, but I'd be worried it would work too well and that would be the next movements that gets someone even worse than Trump elected.

9. Like Moore?

[xor]

10. I feel like I should probably know who Moore is.

Sorry I did a search and I saw Ray Moore came up. Is that who? I'll have to look into what he's all about if so.


*Oh wait. Yeah, now I know. Yeah, exactly. Like him.

[Doreen]

11. Yeah...him.

5. Defunding Planned Parenthood

Defunding Planned Parenthood would take one of the GOPs major issues that gets their voters out off the table. Now they can use it in swing districts and states to GOTV.

6. Planned Parenthood was defunded in Iowa by the state legislature

and had to close clinics.

7. Seems these people don't need failure to be fuming

Something tells me they "fume" all the fucking time.

[Vinca]

12. Idiots. What causes more unwanted pregnancies? No birth control.

And that causes more abortions.
