Conservatives sneak backwards priorities into tax plan

Determined to secure a healthcare “win” regardless of who it affects, conservatives are slipping language into the tax bill that restricts women’s rights and attacks the ACA. Conservatives, led by a desperate Trump, buried a provision on page 93 of their 429-page proposal that would allow fetuses to be treated as individuals and named as beneficiaries of college savings accounts. This is obviously a thinly-veiled back-door attempt to establish personhood from the moment of conception.

Trump threatens health of 380,000 Georgians

An abrupt move by the White House has put the health of hundreds of thousands of Georgians on the line. Trump is using the move to single-handedly dismantle Obamacare, and pressure Senate Democrats into voting on a new health care “compromise” bill.

“Pro life” hypocrisy in action

National Right to Life is one of the backers of the push to repeal Obamacare. Things shouldn’t shock me anymore, but this does. When National Right to Life and other anti-choice groups talk about their values — ones that many people find very appealing — they talk about “promoting respect for the worth and dignity of every individual human being.” The state affiliate of NRTL, the Georgia Life Alliance, even states in their mission statement,

Keep up the pressure: Tell Senators no Obamacare repeal!

The Senate healthcare bill has suffered another crushing defeat, but leaders on Capitol Hill are scrambling to keep the measure alive. The U.S. Senate has been considering their version of the American Health Care Act — the disastrous Obamacare replacement that would gut Medicaid and put health insurance out of reach for many — over the past couple of months. Their version of Trumpcare is sometimes known by the acronym BCRA, which stands for the
