Statement from IDP Chair Dr. Andy McGuire on Ernst’s Bill to Defund Planned Parenthood


Des Moines—Iowa Democratic Party Chair Dr. Andy McGuire today released the following statement on the bill from U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst to defund Planned Parenthood health clinics:


"As a doctor, I understand that the quality, affordable health services provided by Planned Parenthood clinics throughout Iowa and nearby states allow nearly 60,000 women and men to meet their health care needs. By singling out this organization, Senator Ernst and her fellow Republicans are constructing economic and accessibility barriers to health care that will make it harder for women and families to lead healthy lives."

1. Of course she did!

Did anyone really think that any of the male hierarchy was going to do it? They let Ernst do it for one simple reason...she's a woman, and it adversely affects the whole war on women argument!


She and other Republican women are nothing short of Quislings to their own gender, because it's the price they have pay to hold the positions of power that is given to them by a party ruled by misogynists!!!

2. No chance to get 60 votes but tons of hot air for the base to breathe.
