Planned Parenthoods President: "Its Time For Ivanka To Stand For Women"

Planned Parenthood’s President: "It’s Time For Ivanka To Stand For Women"

The health care bill up for a vote in the House of Representatives Friday would defund the non-profit.
Originally posted on Mar. 24, 2017, at 8:50 a.m. Updated on Mar. 24, 2017, at 10:36 a.m.



Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards urged Ivanka Trump on Friday to step into the debate over the Republican health care bill.

The president’s daughter’s silence on the way the legislation would affect women has been “deafening,” she said, and that “it’s time for Ivanka to … stand for women.”

Ivanka is currently on a ski vacation with her family in Aspen. The bill, which would remove federal requirements to provide services like maternity care, and would block federal funding for Planned Parenthood, is scheduled to go for a vote later Friday.

......................

“Any woman who votes for this bill is betraying every woman in America,” she said. “Women will not just lose their healthcare, but lose their lives over this bill.”.............................

Richards knows Ivanka will be silent today. Makes Ivanka look foolish.

Russian mafia boss still at large after FBI wiretap at Trump Tower

I'm sure it's a coincidence that Russian organized crime operates out of Trump Tower. And banks in Cyprus again.

There, indeed, was an FBI wiretap involving Russians at Trump Tower.

But it was not placed at the behest of Barack Obama, and the target was not the Trump campaign of 2016. For two years ending in 2013, the FBI had a court-approved warrant to eavesdrop on a sophisticated Russian organized crime money-laundering network that operated out of unit 63A in Trump Tower in New York.

The FBI investigation led to a federal grand jury indictment of more than 30 people, including one of the world’s most notorious Russian mafia bosses, Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov. Known as the “Little Taiwanese,” he was the only target to slip away, and he remains a fugitive from American justice.

Seven months after the April 2013 indictment and after Interpol issued a red notice for Tokhtakhounov, he appeared near Donald Trump in the VIP section of the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow. Trump had sold the Russian rights for Miss Universe to a billionaire Russian shopping mall developer. .....................................

Trump demands do-or-die Friday vote on healthcare plan

Source: rawstory.com

U.S. President Donald Trump will get a second chance to try to close the deal with Republican lawmakers on dismantling Obamacare in a high-stakes vote on a new healthcare bill rescheduled for Friday.

After a week of calling Republican lawmakers and bringing them into the Oval Office for meetings, Trump was dealt a setback on Thursday when a vote on what was supposed to have been his first legislative victory had to be postponed because of opposition from two flanks in the party.

Conservatives felt the bill did not go far enough to repeal Obama’s namesake healthcare legislation, and moderates felt the plan could hurt their constituents.

House Republican leaders had signaled they were ready to work through the weekend to figure out a way to reconcile their differences. But Trump sent his top lieutenants to a dramatic meeting on Capitol Hill on Thursday night with a message: he was done talking.
