It of course remains to be seen how the Senate will make that bill even more cruel.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, virtually every health, cancer, heart disease, rare illness, children\u2019s and old age group in the country\u2013not to mention the bishops\u2013is condemning this rushed act of attempted murder against the weak and ill. Only one demographic is predictably thrilled: monomaniac anti-abortion-but-not-prolife Christians whose enslavement to the Right Wing culture of death is so complete that they have blinded themselves to the fact that abortion rates will be driven up by this draconian act of punishment of the poor.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s plan raises maternity costs 425%. What do you suppose poor people will feel driven to do if there is no way they can afford that?<\/p>\n
As reader Kirsten Housekneckt put it, \u201cYou know what happens when pregnancy, sick kids and post-natal care<\/a> are not covered because it\u2019s a \u2018pre-existing condition\u2019? Abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n So yippee! \u201cProlife\u201d support for this horror show against the sick and weak is bought and paid for with some punishment of Planned Parenthood. \u00a0Not to worry. PP\u2019s still funded and will still be doing abortions (indeed business will be booming because of AHCA). \u00a0But \u201cprolifers\u201d can have that warm glow of Moral Victory while the sick die and are driven into poverty. \u00a0After all, the sick have been born and are therefore exempt from the concern of \u201cprolife\u201d Christian Trump supporters.<\/p>\n In other Empty Victory for Conservative Christian \u201cProlife\u201d Suckers News, one of these tweets is not like the other. \u00a0Can you spot which?:<\/p>\n The religious liberty executive order is meaningless. No substantive protections for conscience. A betrayal. Ivanka and Jared won. We lost. https:\/\/t.co\/Xn94KWTKPX<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Robert P.
