When is one thirty in the morning a good time to make decisions about life and death for other people ?
Why should the Republican party make any sense at all ?

Republicans are perfectly OK with removing affordable birth control.
Women tried to explain that birth control is a life saving medicine for some. Birth is a death sentence for some women.
Birth control is used as a hormonal regulator that frees a woman from severe pain, destruction of internal organs, and permanant disability.
Allows a woman to work and care for her family.
At the same time, Republicans will be removing everything that is needed for a healthy birth, or an option to giving birth.
What will result from balancing the budget on the backs of women and children,is suffering.
Pennies spent today, would save millions of dollars down the road.
Republicans choose to ignore the plea for a simple medicine.
2012, a women's preventative health care provision within the Affordable Care Act went into effect making birth control free for women with insurance
If the mandate is struck down, it will leave 55 million women without no-copay birth control.
What's At Stake for Women in an ACA Repeal
If you are dependent on a partner or spouse, and your partner dies ?
If there is a divorce ?
Disaster.
Republicans make a big deal out of being family oriented, and family centered.
Why are they ignoring women, when almost everyone one of these Republcans are married to a woman, or are married women ?

10 Things Women Lose if the Affordable Care Act is Repealed
1.)Well Women Visits
Well-woman visits" are annual service packages that vary depending on a woman's age and stage of life. They can include prenatal care and mammograms.
2.) Maternity
Before the ACA was signed into law, many insurance programs did not cover prenatal and maternal care—the costs of which can often exceed $20,000 for just one uncomplicated birth.
3.) Cancer screening and testing
Mammograms are also now covered as routine care, as are genetic screenings for Breast Cancer. Access to preventive care has empowered tens of millions of women to access services that catch cancer early on when before they were unable to afford or prioritize them.
4.)
Direct Access to OB/GYN
Women are now able to reach out to OB/GYNs without referrals and even use them as primary care physicians. Before the ACA, they weren't.
Republicans are ready to destroy Medicare and Medicaid.
5.)Sustainable, broader, better
Insurance Coverage
Women are a majority of Medicare recipients and some rely on Medicaid for basic care. The ACA strengthened and expanded those programs, giving the women who rely on them a boost in terms of their access to care.
6.) Contraception coverage
The ACA's Birth Control Benefit makes contraceptives available without copays or coinsurance. The benefit applies to birth control pills, IUDs, injections and emergency contraception. In 2013, women saved $1.4M on out-of-pocket birth control costs alone.
7.)
Protection from discrimination and pricing
The ACA put an end to "gender rating," a discriminatory practice in which insurance companies charged women more than men for health insurance based solely on their gender. Women purchasing insurance paid around $1B more than men before the ACA.
8.) STI and HIV testing
Under the ACA, annual HIV and STI screenings were made available to all women who were sexually active. This was a victory, in particular, for women of color. Latinas are four times more likely to be diagnosed with HIV, and African American women are 20 times more likely.
9.) Domestic Violence Screening
he ACA requires that new and non-grandfathered health plans cover screening and counseling for domestic and interpersonal violence without cost sharing or deductibles. This statute made domestic violence programs primary prevention or early intervention services—much like those in place for obesity, smoking and addiction that are covered routinely by providers.
10.)
Coverage for Pre existing conditions
Before the ACA, coverage opportunities for women could hinge on pre-existing conditions that exempted them from enrolling in an insurance plan—including domestic violence, cancer and having had a C-Section. Now, women with pre-existing conditions can enroll freely in any insurance plan that suits their needs.

During the budget negotiations that took place Wednesday night, Sen. Kristen Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) penned an amendment to preserve protections for women that were created under the ACA, but it was voted down. The measure aimed to ensure that women receive birth control and mammograms without charge, required insurance companies to cover maternity care, prevented insurance companies from charging women more for preexisting conditions, and sought to even out health care costs between men and women.
"If my colleagues destroy the Affordable Care Act, it will have real, direct, and painful consequences for millions of American women and their families," Gillibrand said on the Senate floor on Wednesday.
The Senate also voted down the preexisting-conditions protection, which prevented insurance companies from considering pregnancy as a preexisting condition.

"For eight years, they’ve (Republicans) had no plan. And they don’t have a plan now."
"...after eight years of complaining, they are trying to convince each other that it will all be okay if they just repeal health care access—with nothing to replace it," Warren noted.
"They’re trying to reassure each other that they know what they’re doing. Get real. They don’t have a clue what to do next. For eight years, they’ve had no plan. And they don’t have a plan now."
. "When the Affordable Care Act was signed into law in 2010, Massachusetts went all in. We expanded our Medicaid program, using federal funds to cover people who still lacked insurance even after our state reforms. We set up a state health insurance exchange, the Health Connector, and we combined federal and state dollars to make sure that insurance was truly affordable."

Sorry, I couldn't read past that part, my eyes rolled so far back in my head that I almost fell over.
Please get yourself some better medication. I've known many women, but none with your condition. You have my sympaty for this situation. I can't imagine that by simply letting me buy your birth control pills, I helped destroy some of your internal organs leading to a permanent disability, and we're lucky that simply having a period didn't kill you.
Best of luck.

That was the booze.
I was triggered by hate speech by a feminazi, so I retreated to my safe space. The whisky helps me put up with the stupidity.
Funny that you should be posting about hate, handysr.
I calls 'em as I sees 'em.

I shall let loose my seat in your general direction.
Nope, not seeing the correlation.
That's exactly your problem.

I think either pay for birth control or allow abortions is a good compromise for the Repubs. I personally think OC should be paid for AND abortions paid for. It will cost a lot less in the long run.
We can't have Christian values in a country that is bankrupt. It's just not possible. God hasn't intervened and helped. So, kick his ass to the curb and move to a more Christian country, letting him blow us up like he did to Sodom and Gomorrah. And don't look back or else you'll get turned into a salt shaker.
God's not great.

Retire that idiocy, will you? You embarrass yourself and the board every time you use it.

I read both pages of your clickbait, and didn't see anything about Elizabeth Warren using her heritage to advance her career.
