Politics / Girls Only! House Republicans Pass a Jobs Bill

Posted by Dan Savage on Fri, Oct 14, 2011 at 2:30 PM

Look at 'em! They're creating jobs! For coroners, undertakers, florists, and funeral homes:

Today the GOP-led House of Representatives, with the blessings and encouragement of the United States Council of Catholic Bishops and extremist religious groups such as the Family Research Council, passed a bill in a vote of 251 to 172 that would, among other things, allow doctors and hospitals to "exercise their conscience" by letting pregnant women facing emergency medical conditions die.

Yes. Die.

This is what the Republicans called the "Protect Life Act." And no, I am not kidding.

Go read the whole thing.

Thank you for finally bringing some attention to this! House republicans have been attacking women's health care rights non stop while simultaneously criticizing the president for not creating jobs. Fucking ridiculous!
