Democrats hold Zika funding hostage to their special interests - QuestionSocratic - 06-29-2016 07:39 AM Senate Democrats blocked passage of a spending bill for zika research because the conference bill did not specifically provide for funds for Planned Parenthood. (WSJ Link ) The conference bill had stripped out all non-zika research funding but the Dems, led by the ever evil Harry Reid, blocked passage in an election ploy. So now, nothing will get done. Team over country. Democrats. Despicable. RE: Democrats hold Zika funding hostage to their special interests - Kaplony - 06-29-2016 02:51 PM Amazing that there isn't outrage over this from Max, Fit, et al. This was such a big issue for them a few weeks ago. Wonder what changed?

(WSJ Link ) I know right. tying poison pills to zika legislation and the cons on here supporting the GOP doing that. you guys are disgusting and you truly have no shame. RE: Democrats hold Zika funding hostage to their special interests - john01992 - 06-29-2016 03:48 PM You forgot to mention that it also loosens EPA regulations. but you also forgot this: "They restrict funding for birth control provided by Planned Parenthood. Can you believe that?" Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said Monday. "And the Zika problem, who does it affect? Women and especially pregnant women."

RE: Democrats hold Zika funding hostage to their special interests - john01992 - 06-29-2016 03:49 PM Will the GOPers on here finally admit that your party is playing party politics with zika?

Both sides do this sort of stupid stuff. Yet another reason for the rise of Trump and Bernie, etc. RE: Democrats hold Zika funding hostage to their special interests - Kaplony - 06-29-2016 03:56 PM http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2016/jun/28/bill-nelson/democrats-zika-impact-planned-parenthood-exclusion/ Quote:The words that limited how this money could be spent applied to the block grant program.

RE: Democrats hold Zika funding hostage to their special interests - Redwingtom - 06-30-2016 08:59 AM Kaplony, can you at least admit that Republicans do the exact same thing and that it's wrong regardless of party?

Only if you admit that your party is holding up Zika funding not out of any concern about women's health because as the evidence shows nobody in Puerto Rico is going to be denied healthcare because of this because the healthcare will be available for them if they choose. The leftists are holding up the funding that just a few weeks ago was so important simply because their pet project isn't getting a piece of the pie.

As it stands now because your pals on the left would rather fund Planned Parenthood than fight Zika there will be no bill for at least another week.
