Another in the never-ending series of I-Should’ve-Thought-Of-That:

Time to get our National Shit Together.

This abomination needs to be shared.

According to thinkprogress.org, the Republican led House has drafted H.R. 3, the No Taxpayer Funding For Abortion Act. This bill is trying to redefine what constitute rape, by narrowing the legal criteria. It increases taxes on women who might use their company’s healthcare to fund an abortion, as well as her company for offering such coverage in it’s benefit package. Essentially, this is a tax increase.

By banning deductions or tax credits to pay for abortions, women would have to prove in an audit that her circumstances fell under the “rape/incest/life-of-the-mother exception.” If passed, this bill would turn the IRS into Abortion Police. Very scary.

It also seeks to ban abortion funding in the District of Columbia. (Why would anyone live there, when they have less representation than the rest of America. Sorry, I digress.) This insanity has yet to run the gauntlet of the senate, and President Obama vows to veto the bill if it does.

What I don’t understand: How can these misogynists come home and face their wives? How can these same wives allow this? Religious tenets aside, has anyone reminded the GOP of the constitutional edict of “separation of Church and State?”
