"The attempt by Republicans to cut off support for Planned Parenthood is an attack on women’s health. #StandwithPP"[twitter.com]

"A vote to defund @PPFA is a vote to defund cancer screenings & birth control & basic health care for millions of women. #StandwithPP." [twitter.com/senwarren]

This is just another example of politicians using veterans as a way to further their own political agenda rather than actually taking action to support them.

Planned Parenthood cannot be used by the Republican Party and the religious right to hold the American public as political hostages. Everything PP does is legal and necessary, so get on with the job of running our country or vacate your office and allow someone more competent to the job take your place.

"I would look at the good aspects of [Planned Parenthood], and I would also look because I’m sure they do some things properly and good for women. I would look at that, and I would look at other aspects also, but we have to take care of women." [politico.com]

Yet again, congress is playing with the women's right to choose. Planned parenthood barely does abortions facts show they do nearly 3% of abortions. The money given to the agency helps those whose want mammograms and etc. Time for republicans to stop playing petty politics with women's health care. Unless you have a vagina and Fallopian tubes and can carry a baby for 9 months than don't talk about women's health because you don't no a damn thing about it. -Future Congressman DeNeiro

How much federal money goes towards providing abortions? Oh yeah, none. Fund PP, you know Obama will veto any bill that doesn't have PP funding in it and you know that you don't have the votes for an override. You're wasting time and money on another "show" vote.

Accepting this exemption as an incentive tacitly admits that the employee healthcare requirement is enough of a drain on business to make this attractive. If you can admit this, then why not eliminate it in the first place? It was passed on the promise of being better for all, if that is not the case, then get rid of it completely.

All veterans should be excluded as their insurance should be covered by the Federal Government

2 unrelated things. Bad bill.

Congress just had 5 weeks off, they could have worked on this then, but no lets hold America hostage and continue doing anything for the middle and working class.

PP is a great thing for women, stop using that as your excuse for why you can't do your job!

How dare they. Time to get these clowns out of the circus.

"I believe that it is an issue that is best left to the individual conscience of women" [twitter.com]

Planned Parenthood does more then just abortions. They offer the ability for any women to go in and receive the health care they need. They don't discriminate against an individual. they offer a chance to be seen and tested for diseases at prices they can afford. They provide the sexual education our schools no longer give. They don't look down on a woman because they want to have sex.
