House votes to double budget for Planned Parenthood investigation

The House on Thursday approved an additional $800,000 for the select committee investigating abortion provider practices, doubling its budget for the year.

Lawmakers passed the measure along party lines, 234-181, as Democrats called for the investigative panel to be disbanded instead.

The panel is now likely to spend nearly $1.6 million in total over the course of just under a year after the House previously approved a $790,000 budget. It is expected to issue a report before it disbands at the end of this year.

The House created the investigative committee in October of last year to investigate Planned Parenthood and abortion providers’ handling of fetal tissue.

4. Jesus Rode A Fucking Dinosaur!

Enough vacuum and my brain shrinks to a pea when confronted by ignorant republicans.

15. According to Garrison Keillor, it was "Adam and Eve who rode the dinosaur to church."

Just sayin.'

From one of his annual joke shows...


Thirty-three percent of the American people think he's (G.W. Bush) doing a good job.
The same 33% who think Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs to church.

13. I Donated

post-election day, but I normally donate to my causes each and every time they are attacked by Repubs, so I guess I will do it again. I just wish they'd stop calling me at dinnertime!

9. The All Time Favorite Wedge Issue

The All Time Favorite Wedge Issue keeps on giving, political fodder republicans use like a cannon. The GOP will take any and all votes, fixing nothing using abortion for votes is all that matters, F'ing worthless scum.

10. What a waste of money

Repugs are good at doing that all the while claiming others are misspending.

11. How many miles of road would that build?

My favorite thing about the Republican Party is its willingness to go into Congress in the morning and scream about how much money the (fill in this week's Republican target) is wasting by spending $1 on something they think is frivolous, then go back after their three-martini lunches and vote to spend $10 on something everyone else thinks is frivolous.

My suggestion to stop this bullshit: require that a law be passed to authorize every Congressional investigation, and that law must include the exact taxes that will be raised to pay for the investigation.

14. Like the state of Texas

From what I understand, Texas is going to require that fetal tissue from all miscarriages/abortions be cremated or buried. If Congress keeps doing their damnedest to undermine Planned Parenthood and Roe v' Wade, we'll be returning to back alley abortions. Then what do you suppose happens to that tissue?

16. Here we go. And a lady in Tennessee is facing criminal charges because she attempted a coat-hanger

abortion.

The women-hatred is unleashed and right out in the open.
