BASS-ACKWARDS.
So, the US House of Representatives just voted to bar Planned Parenthood from federal funding. PP was already barred from using federal funds to perform abortions, but now the people who use the service for birth control, STD screenings (including HIV), cancer screenings, etc. are also shit out of luck. And by people, I predominantly mean women who are sexually active and making choices about their bodies.
As
roaming pointed out, to make this EVEN MORE HORRIFIC, that SAME HOUSE just voted to let the Pentagon use federal funding for NASCAR SPONSORSHIP.
You read that right.
NASCAR is an appropriate use of our tax dollars, but life-saving healthcare for women is not.
The Senate still has to vote, but JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. There is a war on women happening in Congress right now, and anyone who denies it is not living in our fucking Earth reality. THOSE SHITTY MOTHERFUCKERS. I really, really wish I could just leave this goddamn country sometimes-- I am that fucking fed up.
