Indiana Republicans have forced the closure of all 28 Planned Parenthood clinics in their state, even though only four of them provided any abortion services. Previously, Planned Parenthood in Indiana earned $1.3 million a year for its work with Medicaid recipients. Those low-income women will now find it much harder to get access to female contraception and basic health care. Many of them will, as a result of this hostility from Indiana Republicans, experience an unplanned pregnancy and will seek out abortions, or they will have less access to health care during their pregnancy, resulting in less healthy babies. I know it’s hard to get inside the brains of Republicans, but the opposite of planned parenthood is unplanned parenthood. And it is only the latter that causes elective abortions to occur in the first place. No organization prevents more abortions than Planned Parenthood. Nice work, assholes.

From the Republican POV, it is indeed nice work. Low income women will now either have to turn to proselytizing “charities”, leave the state, or sicken or die for lack of healthcare options. The GOP’s fetus worship is finally revealed for what it is, since many of them will depart the planet along with their unworthy mothers.
It’s not the abortions, it’s the contraception.
Those sluts don’t shame themselves, people, and Planned Parenthood just makes it harder.
are you saying that there are people out there having sex? Unmarried people?
Not only that, there are even some baby-hating married people having recreational sex too!
Shocker, right!
Wait until the Pope finds out!
When do we start fighting back?
When every elected Democrat is gone.
Note…none of the reports of the closings details how many jobs were lost.
Currently, the infant mortality rate for Indiana is 4 for every 1000 births…wonder where it will be by the next election.
And didn’t Mitch Daniels call for a culture-war truce 6 or 8 months back? And he was another shitstain your liberal media fawned over.
great fucking point.
If Mike Pence is successful in the race for Indiana governor, I predict even much, much worse damage than these morons have caused under Daniels. The American Taliban lives in the midwest.
