Texas has not cut back on planned parenthood and abortion clinics? The have drastically cut back dude. Pub govs across the country have worked to cut back on planned parenthood. And pub governors are trying to cut back on abortion and certain contraceptives. That is not a war on women? Here is the vote for who voted against the violence against omen legislation: thewire.com After all, efforts to reauthorize the bill, which funds a bevy of programs designed to helps victims of violence, have languished for nearly a year in the GOP-controlled House, whose members have either ignored or tinkered with Senate versions of the reauthorization bill, which provisions funding for the Act for the next five years. (Since expiring at the end of 2011, VAWA has survived on temporary funding.) It's a relief, certainly, but also an opportunity to recognize the Congressmen and -women who still didn't want to reauthorize an important bill that has always been reauthorized, without controversy, since being passed in 1994.
