Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe on Tuesday vetoed a bill that would have blocked funding for Planned Parenthood, which provides abortions and other health services.

The bill passed by the Republican-controlled legislature would have barred the state from providing funds to clinics that perform abortions not covered by Medicaid, the federal healthcare program for the poor.

I despise Clinton’s Bag Man being our Governor.
He belongs in prison.
He will burn in eternity.

But will that be the next step for this?

I mean they omly had to have simple majorities to pass the bill the first time.

The name “Planned Parenthood” is cynical double speak. Given their main product - killing developing babies, it should be called “Planned Fetus Killing.” or “Planning not to be a Parent.”

What “other health services. “?
