This is either hypocrisy or consistency. I think it’s the latter.

From a February 2013 article on “pro-life” Montana state Sen. Jason Priest:

It took three tries Friday, but Republicans on a House budget panel finally voted to cut from the state health budget $4.6 million in federal family planning funds, part of which go to Planned Parenthood of Montana.

Rep. Ron Ehli, R-Hamilton, the panel’s chairman, said he voted to cut the funds because he can’t support sending public money to an organization – Planned Parenthood – that supports abortion. …

Ehli tried to remove the family planning money initially Friday morning, but his motion failed on a 5-1 vote. Sen. Jason Priest, R-Red Lodge, later asked the panel to reconsider that action, but that motion failed on a 3-3 vote, with Sen. Roger Webb, R-Billings, joining the panel’s two Democrats to block it.

Yet the subcommittee decided to meet once again late Friday afternoon, to reconsider its earlier vote on the family planning money and other items. It finally voted 4-2 to remove the family planning money.

From a February 2014 article on “pro-life” Montana state Sen. Jason Priest:

Prosecutors filed charges Wednesday accusing state Sen. Jason Priest of throwing his 4-year-old daughter, shoving his estranged wife and breaking her boyfriend’s rib and then struggling with an officer who intervened in the incident.

Priest, 45, faces a charge of felony assault on a minor and misdemeanor counts of partner or family member assault, assault and resisting arrest.

… Once in custody, Priest agreed to an interview without an attorney present, the documents say. In that interview with Officer Grieshop, the affidavit states, Priest explained he became upset with his youngest daughter because she made disparaging comments about him and said she wanted to be with “mommy” and “Jon.”

Priest admitted he should have complied with the officer’s requests during the incident, and denied throwing his daughter, saying that instead he quickly picked her up and set her back down, the documents state.

He also told the officer he responded appropriately when he forcibly removed his wife and Trapp from his property and that “he would f—— do it again,” court records say.

He went on to state he knew the officer was present and should have asked him to remove Trapp, but that when “ … your wife is acting like white trash in front of your children it’s not easy to always maintain your composure.”

It’s not necessarily the case that everyone who favors defunding health care for low-income women  is a rage-filled misogynist, but it probably is the case that every rage-filled misogynist favors defunding health care for low-income women.
