Meet The New Boss

Worse than the old one.  Hey, pro-choice firebaggers who said that Obama was taking female voters for granted and the women who voted on those issues as well, and that the Democrats needed to learn a lesson?  Meet the people you helped to elect to power, like Congressman Joe Pitts.

Like most Republicans in Congress, Mr. Pitts said he wanted to repeal the health care law, which was passed by Congress on party-line votes without Republican support.

Short of that goal, Mr. Pitts said he was determined to ban federal subsidy payments to any health insurance plans that include coverage of abortion — a benefit now offered by many private health plans.

Under the new law, the federal government is expected to spend more than $450 billion in subsidies to help low- and middle-income people buy insurance from 2014 to 2019.

When Congress was writing the law, Representative Bart Stupak, Democrat of Michigan, led efforts to restrict the use of federal money for insurance plans covering abortion. Mr. Pitts, though less well known, was the chief Republican co-author of the “Stupak amendment.”

From his powerful new perch, Mr. Pitts said he would try again to impose those restrictions.

“The new health care law is riddled with loopholes that allow taxpayer subsidies for coverage that includes abortion,” Mr. Pitts said. 

Feel sold out by Obamacare and the Dems?  Wait until the Republicans get done with making abortion impossible to actually get.   Did you think replacing them with Republicans would make things better?  "But we've heard that threat before!"

There's a reason for that.
