Well, that's when "the GOP" didn't mean "eat your own feces insane."

yeah, then they advocated "abstinence only programs" Pretty much the Sexual education they give kids is summed up as "don't have sex".
Closing down places Like Planned parenthood would be a GIANT mistake, and one done purely to benefit one interest group at pretty much every sexually active young person's expense, not just women. Opponents said they were abortion mills and people were using them like birth control (which is madness because abortions are a pretty good amount of money and not something any woman takes lightly), but they also provided other services like STD tests etc.
With all the new abortion laws etc, I can can bet were gonna start having more welfare babies. And that's going to cost us even more money in the long run. This pretty much shows this isn't a fiscal move. It's another way of controlling moral and social issues with the purse strings. Programs Like planned parenthood and the EPA aren't going to bankrupt this nation, but thats what the GOP is saying so they can slash their budgets and make big business happy there's nobody to regulate the sludge they dump into a river, or the Far religious right and Pro-lifers happy because they can regulate somebody else's womb, making them stop frothing at the mouth long enough for them to vote "red" next election.
