Budget deal keeps funding intact for PP, NPR & HC

Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) said today that the new Republicans elected to the House of Representatives last November came to Congress “to kill women.” She also likened Republican efforts to prohibit federal funding of abortion except in cases of rape, incest or where the life of the mother is endangered to actions taken by Nazis. “This is probably one of the worst times we’ve seen because the numbers of people elected to Congress. I went through this as co-chair of the arts caucus,” Slaughter said. ”In ’94 people were elected simply to come here to kill the National Endowment for the Arts. Now they’re here to kill women.”

I would really like to ask Ms. Slaughter and her ilk why women's health is more important than men's.

So wanting to defund Planned Parenthood amounts to killing women? By that argument, I guess when, as Treasurer of our communty association, I voted to raise the minumum snowfall before calling the snowplow guy to clear the roads because it was killing our budget, I was causing more accidents and making people late for work and school.
