Vice President Pence cast a tie-breaking Senate vote Thursday to pass legislation that will allow states to withhold federal funds from Planned Parenthood and other health care providers that perform abortions.

The measure, which now goes to President Trump for his signature, dismisses an Obama-era rule banning states from denying federal funds to such organizations....

A very good thing.  Texas was doing this but had been threatened by the Obama administration.

Some good news for a change.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

   Thank VP Pence and Thank You President Trump for your presumptive pending signature.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

When in the hell can we get rid of these liberal GOP women who pose under the Republican umbrella?

Their crap needs to be flushed away once and for all.

Call me sexist, but 100% of the GOP dissenters on this bill are female.

I just hope it will hold up in court.
