WI Dems: "We won't come back until worker's rights are preserved."

"The headline on a Wall Street Journal article posted this evening is likely confusing to many as it screams "Democrats to End Union Standoff."


"According to Larson, speaking via his Facebook wall, this is a misrepresentation of Miller's quote, "Sen. Miller's comments are taken out of context in the Wall Street Journal article just released. Dems will return when collective bargaining is off the table. That could be soon based on the growing public opposition to the bill and the recall efforts against Republicans."

THANK YOU!

Don't think the destruction of collective bargaining is the worst thing about this bill - IMO it's not. It's up there - maybe a tie even, but here are just a few of the other horrible things in what I am now calling The Bullshit Budget Bill:


Scott Walker's Budget Defunds Planned Parenthood, Targets Contraception Access

WASHINGTON -- While Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) continues to wait out the state's Senate Democrats on his budget bill that would strip collective bargaining rights from public employee unions, a growing number of Wisconsin's abortion-rights advocates worry that they have become his next target.

In 2009, Wisconsin passed a "contraceptive equity" law that requires health insurance plans in the state that cover prescription drugs to include contraceptives. Proponents argued that the measure was necessary to ensure that commercial health providers -- who cover approximately one-third of the state's residents -- don't discriminate against women. "Contraceptive Equity is about fairness, preventing gender discrimination, and access to basic health care," reads a statement on the website for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin.

Walker's budget released this week would repeal the 2009 law. His budget summary called it an "unacceptable government mandate on employers with moral objections to these services," adding that it "increases the cost of health insurance for all payers."

The governor is also proposing the elimination of the Title V Maternal and Child Health program, which receives a mix of federal, state and local funds to provide family planning services. Uninsured men and women can currently receive this care, which includes cervical and prostate cancer screenings, access to birth control and testing and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases.

opportunity. Hopefully, the Wisconsin 14 won't come back just because Walker caves on the labor rights issue. I haven't read the whole bill, but it sounds like it is a huge basket of turds. Taking out the labor rights issue will leave us with a huge basket of turds minus one.

It's the Murdoch-Media's standard operating procedure, throw disinformation bombs to sow confusion and dismay in the liberal ranks.
