Republicans In The NH Executive Council Put Politics Over People By Defunding Planned Parenthood

[NHLabor]

Today the Republican led Executive Council in New Hampshire upped their attacks on women and working families. In a 3-2 vote the Executive Council voted to defund Planned Parenthood in the NH.

Jenifer Horn, the NH GOP Chair cited the false and misleading video as justification for defunding an organization that provides many low-income families with much needed healthcare services. Horn wants the Governor to investigate the potential illegal activities by Planned Parenthood.

“This isn’t a matter of being pro-choice or pro-life. It’s about ensuring that public dollars are not being given to a company that may be engaged in criminal activity”

What a bunch of hogwash! This is just another example of the evangelical right pushing their anti-abortion agenda on the rest of us!

First, Planned Parenthood does not use tax money for any abortions services, it is already against the law. Second, fetal tissue is donated, not sold, for life saving research that could lead to the end of Diabetes, Muscular Dystrophy, Parkinson’s, Polio, and countless other chronic diseases. Third, and most importantly, fetal tissue donation does not occur in New Hampshire at all!

These baseless attacks on women’s reproductive rights are just another attempt by the GOP to roll back women’s right to choose.

1. I see Nancy Grace has bought into the PP smear with all the force of her sneering pretend

compassion for victims and her cozy prime time TV spot for no reason I will ever fathom.

Did not know she was just another stupid or purposely ignorant RW extremist willing to advance any old tired propaganda for personal glory.

2. How can I...

...donate to Planned Parenthood in the name of those three men who voted to cut off funding. I'd also like to volunteer some time. If anyone knows who I should contact, please let me know. I am just really sick of having to fight the same things over and over that we fought for in the 1960s.
