Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant had a dream. A dream to no longer be the state with the fourth highest teen pregnancy rate in the country, but the first. A dream to hold on to first place in rates of both chlamydia and gonorrhea. A dream to shut Planned Parenthood, an organization that actively prevents these things, down for good.
I know how Bryant feels about public funds being used for abortion.
I don't want any of "my hard-earned money" going to the upkeep of interstate highways in a state that actually refers to one of its universities as "Ole Miss". (No word on which school is "Ole Massa")
My high school biology teacher, a super holy roller, used getting a steak with a bite out of it example. She also said the steak had lipstick on it which didn't make sense unless utensils were not used.
Shan, please take care with your word choices. In Mississippi "sweaty and weird" means "sexy and horny" although it's usually pertains only to one's sibling.
Just hold on. I encourage Mississippi's attack on Planned Parenthood. We need a place like the Magnolia State to continue producing a workforce of illiterate and ignorant booger-farmers to do the distasteful jobs our society needs. Who will buy all those "I'm with Stupid" T-shirts? In what mine shaft are we going to find the next generation of livestock shit-shovelers, crack whores, and crystal meth testers? If we fall behind the Russians in these areas we will be doomed. "Mr. President, we must not allow a mine shaft gap!" - Gen. Buck Turgidson
It does not take a math genius to see that all their spending on programs that obviously don't work and frivolous lawsuits is ludicrous. How many people could have been helped with that amount?
But but but, do they get a participant ribbon from baby Jesus for trying? I think that's what is important to them, to feel like Jesus loves them just for trying. Because imaginary love, from supernatural entities ( there's a special offer, 3 for one) is so worth $155 million clams.
since Dok already kicked the troll in the pants, here was my response:
I'm not entirely sure what the fuck you're babbling about, but if you're so pro-life, you should be in favor of HIV not spreading.
just so you know, we have in TX the Lilith Fund, the Texas Equal Access Fund and Fund Texas Choice.
having those funds doesn't mean that banning one of the main providers of choice for TX women from participating in cancer screening and HIV programs is a good idea as evidenced by the fact that there have be a sum total of ZERO HIV tests conducted in the state's most populous county since PPGC was kicked out of the program not for any health concerns, but for political posturing.
according to TX DSHS and HHSC data, family planning and women's reproductive health programs run by the state served 212 thousand women in 2010 before services were significantly cut in 2011 by kicked PP out of the Women's Health Program. under that program, funds could not go to clinics providing abortions already, but PP was providing 54% of the care for patients in the program and made up 46% of the providers--funny, it's almost like they do more other healthcare than they do abortions as they have so many clinics that don't provide them. the program also only covered services for women of childbearing age who were not pregnant as those who seek pre-natal already qualify for Medicaid. after PP was cut from the program and it was refashioned, the program served 86 thousand women in 2012 and 63 thousand in 2014. fancy that, losing PP meant many women lost healthcare providers because the other participating clinics were either not near them or did not have the capacity to serve the influx of women who had lost their preferred provider. the new target is to provide care for 22% of women in the state when, according to the New England Journal of Medicine, 40.2% need them.
but I'm sure you're not one of THOSE PEOPLE who bitch about the rising costs of Medicaid as 53% of TX births are paid for through the program and those kids are going to be eligible for CHIP, too!
if anyone is lazy here, it's you. you didn't even bother to look those things up. you don't seem to understand how P3s work or you would know that they have to allow their books to be audited to assure that no funds targeted for cancer screenings or STD reduction are being used for other things. you didn't even know that most PP clinics don't provide abortion services.
so next time you're looking for someone to yell at about the evil abortions--which is, after all, your choice because it's your body that you are using to do so--you might want to be a little less of a lazy hypocrite yourself.

And then there are those "jelly-filled" ones that seem to be made of some kind of indestructible plastic under the chocolate coating.

Virgins, on the other hand...
The only thing you can say about virgins is they're guaranteed to be a lousy lay.
I resent having to pay taxes because churches don't.
Women's lives don't matter....
Granted, I may not be the smartest guy in the room but when I moved from Mississippi to Texas the collective IQs of both states went down.

No problem! I'll just stay out of Mississippi!

That's an old one. Reminds me of the Texas Aggie that moved to Oklahoma and raised the IQ of both states.
Oooh! Look another self-upfister. How's the fist feel in that ass of yours?
Nice try at deflection, but ultimately it fails...as usual.
