So the FY 2011 budget deal passed both the House and the Senate, and even though the Republicans tried to sneak in measures that would defund Planned Parenthood and the Affordable Care Act., those measures were defeated in the Senate.
Both measures were defeated along strict party lines, meaning that yes, once again all Senate Republicans went on record to defund health care for women, including "moderates" like Scott Brown and both the ladies from Maine, Collins and Snowe, as well as Texas's Kay Bailey Hutchinson. Independent Lisa Murkowski came out in favor of Planned Parenthood.
But it goes to show you that Republicans, even Republican women, are quite the misogynists. Somebody explain again to me how the GOP is the party of feminism and women's rights, I could use a good laugh.
