It’s not enough to these cold shrews that abortion is legal. They want my money to support the barbarism.

I don’t see why the NOW is whining. The bill doesn’t pay for men’s abortions either. HAHAHAHA
EVERYONE gets screwed over with Communist “Healthcare”. EVERYONE!
This is a ruse to make the Senate version appear moderate.
love maybe the dems will listen to them

So we have a Senate bill that BOTH the Right AND the Left oppose? And the Democrat Party STILL wants to pass it?
