In reply to the discussion: Do NOT tell me there is no war on women after reading this... [View all]cynatnite
(31,011 posts)These people have sang the mantra to cut taxes and cut taxes some more. They've done that and cut them even more on the wealthy. With less tax revenue, they cut services. The first ones they cut are the ones they don't like...family planning which is women's contraception.
If you read the entire article, you would see that they are not just cutting into birth control, but also other medical services. Also, their reasons are not just about money. They are also on their moral high horse about what they think women should be allowed despite losing other services in the process.
At the end of the article a jackass says, "We're just doing what we think is best," said Joe Pojman, executive director of Texas Alliance for Life, which opposes abortion.
They are making medical decisions for women. They are intefering in a woman's right to determine how she bests takes care of her own body as if they know best. Would you want the government to come into the exam room with you and your doctor and decide that you are too stupid to make your own decisions?
I'm sorry, but this is a war on women's health and it's a war on my right to make a decision about my body and what's best for it. These people need to get the hell out.
If they want money so damn bad, tax the wealthy and leave us alone to make our medical choices.
