And you guys know where this stalemate is coming from, correct? The Republicans are pressing to "defund" Planned Parenthood and the Deomocrats are pressing right back.

I actually called our agent and asked, and she said it wouldn't be covered.
If I wanted to hear the pitter-patter of little feet, I'd put shoes on the cat.
I should go ask the people protesting outside of our local Planned Parenthood downtown and see what they think. My afternoon has been stressful, so I could use some entertainment.
I'll move wherever the winemaker is! I'm an internist/geriatrician, so I can do basic medicine. H's a psychiatrist, he'll try to keep everyone from going nuts while we try to live on a farm.

That is pretty funny.
I confess that I think that people who are so strongly against PP are a little wacko. You don't like abortion. Fine. Good for you. But it does so much more than that! I'm extremely pro-choice though, so take that for what it's worth. I certainly don't think hating PP is a good enough reason to shut down the government.
You know, I might have to start honing my living off the land skills. Pretty sure the world is about to go headlong into apocalypse and MadMax Thunderdome.
I fully confess I have nothing to offer the post-rapture world except for my awesome boobage. So...I guess I could feed lots of babies? Maybe? Run a strip joint?

Our church has a prayer they say at the end of mass sometimes; it is against abortion and for the closing of planned parenthood.

See that's what I don't get!

So...you want to take away their birth control, make them have unwanted babies, and give them no help? Yeah, because that makes perfect sense.

I'm very pro-choice and anti-abortion, if that makes any sense. Like, I could never have an abortion myself, but what I believe for ME I don't think should have any effect on what someone else decides for THEM.
