Do You Support Planned Parenthood?

It's not a surprise because that's just the kind of guy he is, but it's awful just the same.

Soon-to-be-former presidential candidate John Kasich is, unfortunately, still the governor of Ohio.  In that capacity, he signed a wretched bill into law yesterday -- signed it privately and silently  -- then returned to the GOP campaign trail to await his inevitable demise.

HB 294 stops the Ohio Health Dept. from giving any federal grant money to Planned Parenthood of Ohio, because Planned Parenthood performs abortions.

But that federal money was never used for abortions in  the first place, because since 1976 the Hyde Amendment has prohibited the use of federal funds for abortions.  This bill then has no effect on abortions.

ASSHOLE

Planned Parenthood used that federal grant money for other health services, like HIV and STD testing, and screening for breast and cervical cancer.  This stupid, punitive bill ensures there'll be less of that at Planned Parenthood, and hence, more of those life-threatening conditions in Ohio.

Pro-life, my ass!

This new law is a slimy part of a cultural war on Planned Parenthood and against a safe and legal medical procedure.  It is being waged by socially retarded, narrow-minded, misguided, moralizing assholes.  And Kasich is cultural warrior asshole #1.

There is no gray area on this issue.  Where do you stand?  Do you support of Planned Parenthood and safe, legal, affordable abortion services?  What will you say when I ask you?  Yes, I hope.
