Democrats vote to subsidize Viagra for child molesters and rapists

Story from the Washtington Times.

Excerpt:

Senate Democrats voted almost unanimously Wednesday night to ensure the right of rapists and child molesters to have guaranteed access to government-subsidized Viagra under the president’s health care plan. Only Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana broke ranks with his Democratic colleagues.

I guess Democrats feel they need to stand up and defend the interests of this loyal constituency.

Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican, put the Senate’s majority party on the spot by offering an amendment denying convicted sex offenders coverage for erectile-dysfunction medications. Dr. Coburn’s proposal would also have prohibited health care exchanges from offering any coverage of elective-abortion drugs like RU-486 at taxpayer expense.

[The Democrats also] defeated an amendment barring tax increases on families earning less than $250,000. So much for the president’s promised “middle-class tax cut.” They also defeated an amendment requiring the president and other administration officials to purchase health care from exchanges – just like everyone else under Obamacare.

So it’s not just abortions that will be taxpayer-funded.

This is scary. It seems to me that people on the left don’t believe that anyone should ever be punished for doing anything immoral. They often oppose concepts like “good” and “evil”. They refrain from making moral judgments. They condemn those who are good, and lift up those who are evil. They don’t want anyone to feel excluded or judged. No one is responsible for their own decisions, they say. But what about the victims of immoral actions? And who is going to pay for all the goodies they hand out (to get elected)?
