Someone Please Explain This

[Working Poor]

To set the pace for this year’s session of Congress, instead of addressing jobs, extending unemployment benefits, or crushing income inequality transforming America into a peasant population serving the wealthy, the House will debate legislation crucial to Christian fundamentalists effort to legislate by bible. The bill, H.R. 7, was introduced by fundamentalist Chris Smith (R-NJ) and seeks to rewrite the IRS tax code, re-define health insurance, regulate and tax every business in America, tax individuals, insert the federal government between a woman and private medical decisions, and punish rape victims by making them relive the horrors of sexual assault. Smith promoted his legislation on Tony Perkin’s Family Research Council website as another Christian law prohibiting taxpayer funding for abortion, but it is simply legislation mandating the health insurance industry to eliminate coverage for family planning services including abortion. It is important to note that next to raising taxes, Republicans hate the federal government regulating business, especially big businesses like the health insurance industry, as much as they hate women, but regulating and taxing businesses is precisely what Smith’s legislation does under the guise of “religious liberty” to rob women of their right to choose when they produce offspring.

'Splain?

Sounds like slanted journalism designed to rile up the masses.

Perpetuating the myth of any difference between 'Publicans and 'Crats..

I have not seen the bill , but in 2013 when it was first introduced it was to eliminate any tax payer funding for abortions . Liberals of course would be opposed to limiting spending tax dollars on anything. It will never go anywhere in the Senate . Twenty States though have passed a bill like this , I think . There are exceptions for rape , incest , the usual. It does not " rob woman of rights".People have the right to get a job and pay for whatever they like. I like beer myself . If I was a liberal , I would demand others pay for it and cry and throw fits when they do not .

Expecting others to pay for abortions , housing , food , medical care, education etc is the Dem platform. As Tod pointed out , most of the 'Pubs suck too. Nothing sucks more though than a modern Dem. The Dems are the communist party , the Pubs are the socialist party , all are war mongers. The Pubs would leave you half your earnings , a few freedoms , the Dems would take it all and you would be free to get high and kill babies and thats it .
