They're done wasting our tax dollars on Amendment One. Now they need something else to waste our tax dollars on instead of working on the economy.

How will they enforce it? Will they charge people with a crime and throw them in jail.

It should be illegal for legislators to waste time on bullshit like this.

Like I said in the other thread, the silver lining here is that it delays (hopefully avoids) those morons from building sea walls, which will likely be highly encouraged by their wealthy hotel developer backers...It really looks as though they have their....head in the sand.YYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH

that they think this is even remotely acceptable is a really bad sign.

North Carolina Defunds Planned Parenthood In Midnight Vote, Overriding VetoNorth Carolina's Republican-controlled state legislature voted Monday night to override Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue's veto of a state budget that strips money from Planned Parenthood.The same lawmakers overrode Perdue's veto and moved to defund Planned Parenthood last year, but a judge blocked the provision, arguing that a state can't single out a particular health provider. This time around, lawmakers found a way to sidestep legal challenges by not specifically naming Planned Parenthood in the budget. Instead, the bill prevents the state's Health and Human Services department from contracting with "private providers" of family planning services -- effectively, but not explicitly, singling out Planned Parenthood.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/03/north-carolina-planned-parenthood_n_1646466.html

They also provide wellness checkups, cancer screenings, etc for women who otherwise couldn't afford it. It's not just about baby making.
7/3/2012 9:41:30 PM
^ Right. I forgot. It's about sexism too.
7/3/2012 9:43:10 PM
I'm sure you could get a doctor there to check your balls for cancer if you asked nicely and could prove you're poor.
7/3/2012 9:45:10 PM
And I'm sure you could get a doctor to feel your tits if you just asked, regardless of wealth.
