Message from the Giant Pit of Extreme Willful Ignorance

This is a message I received from my cousin Teddi:


INDIANA: Republican lawmakers object to legislation that funds free breast- and cervical-cancer screenings for uninsured women.
Why?


Oh. my. Goddess.
I grew up in Indiana, and I can tell you it is overrun with Repugnantcans (really, only in this country is the word "republican" a euphemism for fascist, militaristic, war-mongering white male supremacist). Maybe the twits object to any phrase containing words like "breast" or "cervical." I think it boils down to power-tripping: one way to keep poor women down is to keep them from getting healthcare, so they suffer more and die sooner. Mind boggling.
