GOP wants more cuts to family-planning, health services

Because you see, the Republicans aren’t concerned about budget deficits at all.  What they’re interested in is creating (tax cuts for the wealthy) budget deficits, then using them as an excuse to attack those things that are anathema to their ideology.  That includes the freedom of women to choose to become pregnant or not, and the freedom to abort a fetus if she decides that that is necessary.  Women, your place is in the 1930s, no, scratch that, women could vote then, your place is anytime before 1920. 

“WASHINGTON — Title X, the federal family planning grant that funds birth control and preventative health services for more than five million low-income people annually, saves U.S. taxpayers massive amounts of money in Medicaid costs, but GOP lawmakers are trying to axe the program for the second time this year in the name of slashing the deficit.”
