This past Spring, Republicans in the House of Representatives pushed through a budget bill that included cutting off funds for Planned Parenthood. This move was a war on women, fueled by misinformation about federal funding and abortion.
Under current law, funds to Planned Parenthood go to cancer screenings, STD testing, birth control, and other preventative services for women - not abortion.
Do you think these Congresswomen were unaware of the law as it currently stands? Or do you think they used this opportunity to misinform the public, while making a grandstand vote for a bill that stood no chance of passing?
Either way, thankfully, the bill did not pass, but who are these congresswomen who voted to deny other women, in need these vital services?

Republicans passed the BIGGEST HEALTH CARE Bill since Medicare:
But 400 BILLION to 1 TRILLION on unconstitutional health care is ok?
Prescription Drug Benefit.
The final version (conference report) of H.R. 1 would create a prescription drug benefit for Medicare recipients. Beginning in 2006, prescription coverage would be available to seniors through private insurers for a
monthly premium estimated at $35. There would be a $250 annual deductible, then 75 percent of drug costs up to $2,250 would be reimbursed. Drug costs greater than $2,250 would not be covered until out-of pocket
expenses exceeded $3,600, after which 95 percent of drug costs would be reimbursed. Low-income recipients would receive more subsidies than other seniors by paying lower premiums, having smaller deductibles,
and making lower co-payments for each prescription. The total cost of the new prescription drug benefit would be limited to the $400 billion that Congress had budgeted earlier this year for the first 10 years of this new
entitlement program. The House adopted the conference report on H.R. 1 on November 22, 2003 by a vote of 220 to 215 (Roll Call 669).
Marsha Blackburn Voted FOR this bill.

Oh and Marsha Blackburn voted for the Paul Ryan budget plan, which privatizes Medicare.
