Monday the US Senate spurred on by Ted Cruz will vote on a bill taking away funding from Planned Parenthood. This will fail as the Democrats will use the filibuster. Understand what is going on here: What the Republicans are doing is no more than pandering to their far right evangelical christian base, and this is nothing less than a brazen attack on women's rights. The vote will fail but the Republicans in the Congress will not be deterred by that and will use defunding Planned Parenthood to leverage their way in a budget battle with the Democrats and President Obama and this very well could bring on another government shutdown. And, all of this time they are working very hard to deny a woman control over whether or not she want to bear a child. The GOP is anti-abortion and against use of contraceptives but we have yet to see a bill proposed by the Republican controlled Congress to ban vasectomy's or a prophylactics, often referred to as "rubbers". Why is that?
