Ah, OK. *Now* that makes sense

Yesterday, I posted this link to Facebook - (Pull Quote: A far-reaching anti-choice bill includes a provision that could redefine rape. Date rape? Not rape anymore. Drugged? Nope. Show the GOP "no" means "no" - sign the petition demanding Congress oppose this horrible legislation.)

And I thought -- along with "Who the frack are these people?" -- "What in ghod's name is going on in their tiny minds?"

This morning's email brings the answer to Question the Second. (Pull Quotes: After a series of suspicious visits by individuals claiming to be sex traffickers, Planned Parenthood reported to Attorney General Eric Holder on what appeared to be an illegal undercover video operation targeting 12 of its clinics nationwide. It sought an FBI probe of those involved and any possible violations of interstate sex trafficking laws by the suspicious infiltrators.1

and...

Republicans have introduced H.R. 3, the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act," which already boasts 173 co-sponsors. The bill, among other things, would essentially mean the end of private insurance coverage for abortion. It also includes an outrageous provision that would restrict federally assisted abortion coverage only to victims of what the law defines as "forcible rape.

Some days? It's very, very hard not to hate the entire human race.


EDITED: Link to Planned Parenthood story. Thanks jhawk!

This proposed legislation makes me want to punch someone in the head. Non-forcibly, of course.
