In what can only be called a “twofer,” House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) announced yesterday that they included provisions to defund Planned Parenthood in their reconciliation bill that also repeals Obamacare. That would take away about $400 million in Medicaid funding from the abortion provider.
Now Hollywood celebs can put their time and energy towards fund raising for their favorite organization instead of expecting the government to fund it for them. Imagine how virtuous they could feel about themselves.
This is how ryan is going to ruin the chance of 0-care defunding. By adding the PP bullshit that could be taken care of on its own bill. He’s fucking it up on purpose.
The racist and leftist Hollywood Celebs will no doubt pony up as the abortion industry is tilted to aborting black babies!
All of the sudden R’s have developed stones. Where have they been for the past six years? Don’t care what they do now I still loathe ALL of them and they still need to go for not putting up more of a fight against the idiot boy Obama.
Planned Parenthood contributed over a hundred million dollars to Democrats over the last several election cycles. That’s our money being used to destroy our country. I don’t believe that the Federal government should be subsidizing any organization that donates money to any political party. Defund all of them!
Poison Pill for Planned (un)Parenthood?
Defund ALL federal gifts to private organizations. It’s one thing to contract with a private company, another to just hand it money. That only leads to more lobbying in lieu of actual productivity or efficiency.
What goes with Mr. Beard-Growing-Suck-Up Ryan? It seems he follows the smell of money.
Whatever, I do think Trump can and will handle this admirably.
Can we add NPR to that list?
Wouldn’t it be great if Ryan’s plan to sabotage the Ocare repeal failed and it all passes?
Hey, it could happen.
Trump is President elect.
This reconciliation bill will flush out all the RINOs, let them be seen and known for what they are on the first vote of the Trump Administration.
It’s in a reconciliation bill. It goes to a committee of the House and Senate members. If this provision is going to keep Obamacare from being repealed in the Senate they can strip it out in committee.
Heck yea
What MJA said.
Kill obarry care first, then defund PP w/ a separate bill.
Don’t mess this up!
