This isn't about Choice - It's about Privitization

The Huffington Post reports that New Hampshire has just defunded Planned Parenthood. Previously, a woman could go to Planned Parenthood and get government subsidized care, paying between 0 to 5 dollars per birth control perscription and receive similar affordable care for other reproductive services. Now she will have to pay $40 to $100 a perscription through some other provider.

So is this about hating women? Sure, the Tea Party and GOP, Inc. hates women. They always have and they always will, but the real reason GOP, Inc is pushing so hard to defund government programs is to force Americans to go into the market place to purchase inflated care from businesses they own outright, are invested in, or are owned by persons or family members with whom they have a close relationship.

"–Chris Slattery, founder of EMC FrontLine Pregancy Centers argues that Planned Parenthood should be defunded, and people can go to his pregnancy centers as an alternative. When David gets Chris to confirm that his pregnancy centers are not licensed medical facilities, Chris Slattery hangs up on David." (Chris Slattery is a big Republican supporter)
