Well…with the do nothing repubs fleeing town after playing politics with funding to fight the Zika virus that has invaded the US, most strongly in Florida, little Marco Rubio has weighed in on the birth defects that come from the infection. In an interview the other day, ole Marco said that since he is “strongly pro life” (or forced birth), he thinks pregnant women who may be infected with the virus shouldn’t be able to get abortions…or any women for that matter. Never mind that babies born with the defects will need a lifetime of specialized care running into the millions of dollars or that the stress of caring for one of these kids can shorten the lives of the mothers…no, no abortion for any reason is the only thing that ole Marco can say. Having a not too bright politician determine the direction of a woman’s life is just wrong on so many levels but that is what the repubs are all about…they sure don’t give a damn about woman’s health in this country…one of little Marco’s compatriots in Florida made the statement “there have always been birth defects…what’s so special about these?” That about sums up the cruel, evil repubs these days….geez…

Republicans are just evil…
Well…if you haven’t heard, there is a new health crisis that is heading for the US in the form of a virus called Zika…and, as usual, the repubs are playing politics with the health of citizens who may be affected by it. When are these evil bastards going to do their jobs? Okay, I’m ranting about this because Obama has asked congress for 1.9 billion dollars to protect the country and the most vulnerable pregnant women from this serious virus but what do the repubs do? They poison pill the bill with the funding by adding on riders that would defund PP, that would defund Obamacare and a laundry list of other right wing wet dreams that they know Obama won’t agree to…and they are doing it to just score political points and to be able to say that the dems are the ones holding up funding since Obama will veto any bill that is not clean….now, I don’t know about you but I think these assholes should actually do something to benefit and protect the American people…there are now almost 500 pregnant Americans who are at severe risk of having babies with birth defects because the repubs think everything is about politics and scoring cheap politcal points…this is the modern repub party folks…the party of pure, pure evil….geez…
