Wow. Continuing the Republican Party's failtastic theme of insisting that there is no War on Women (or caterpillars), except that there is a War on Women, but President Obama started it, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell decided to keep digging during an appearance on a radio show when he was asked to comment about the Republicans' War on Women:
Talk about a manufactured issue. There is no issue. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and Kelly Ayotte from New Hampshire and Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe from Maine I think would be the first to say — and Lisa Murkowski from Alaska — ‘we don’t see any evidence of this.’Ah yes. Those few remaining Republican senators with lady parts would totally agree with good ol' Mitch that there's nothing to see here, move it along when it comes to the Republican Party's assault on women's health care, including a particular focus on Planned Parenthood.
Like Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison:
We cannot afford to lose the Medicaid funding for low income women to have health care services. We cannot. We keep turning back federal funds that every state gets and then try to find money in our budget, which is already being cut in key areas like education. I do think that the governor needs to sit down with the federal government and work it out so we can have our share — our fair share not more — of money for Medicaid to help low-income women have their health care services. [...] I think Planned Parenthood does mammograms, they do so much of the health care — the preventive health care and they’re doing that, we need to provide those services, absolutely.
