Thank or "Spank"

Well, ladies and gentlemen, the House of Representives passed H.R.7 (AKA the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act."). This bill would potentially eliminate abortion coverage in the private and public insurance markets. If that's not bad enough, the bill allows the IRS to decide whether a woman has been raped or if her pregnancy is dangerous to her health.

Here's more about the bill from NOW:
A federally mandated "rape audit" is just one of the horrifying features of this outrageous bill being pushed by regressive Republicans.

Survivors of rape and incest, along with women whose lives are endangered by their pregnancy, are exempted from the prohibition, but that means any woman who pays for her abortion under one of these exemptions must be audited "to prevent tax fraud."

Abortion taxes and rape audits should have no place in U.S. politics. They restrict women's access to abortion care and punish businesses smart enough to understand that a woman's body is her own.

In order to see how your representive voted, go here. Then, after you have seen how your representive voted, either thank them or "spank" them. Hopefully, this bill dies in the senate.

P.S-For us pro-choice Marylanders, our representive voted NO!!! Thank him for voting against this bill :)
