Lawmakers in Georgia removed a $38 million tax exemption for jet fuel from tax-cut legislation on Thursday in a move that will punish Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines.
Republicans vowed to remove the exemption after the airline cut ties with the National Rifle Association (NRA).
Georgia's Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle (R), who is also running for governor, had threatened to kill any tax legislation that benefits Delta after the company's decision to end a discount program for NRA members.
[...] "I will kill any tax legislation that benefits @Delta unless the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationship with @NRA," Angle tweeted earlier this week.

Yes, we can indeed return to illegal coathanger abortions and a high rate of unwanted births among the poor. Apparently what you really hate is not getting to whine and moan about poor people having babies they can't afford. Is that what you really hope for?

Unless you are trying to deny that plan B became OTC in 2013 (and has a non-zero rate of use) and that the ACA mandated insurance providing birth control (which only a few like Hobby Lobby deny after a bitter court battle), it is you that would need to provide evidence that somehow birth control doesn't have the ability to reduce unwanted births.
I know you may not want to admit to even yourself that your desire to make religious decisions for others is ultimately destructive to even your own stated goals WRT poor people having babies, but there it is.
I suspect you will now try to argue that up is down and black is white whenever it is necessary for you to not be wrong, as usual

I haven't tried in the least to show that. My evidence shows the contrary.

So what's your point then?

Offering supporting evidence for an assertion is reason 101.

So you're basically posting irrelevant information. The GOP, as I said wants to oppose all of the above even though birth control is pretty much the only effective measure to reduce both abortion and having babies people can't afford.
So they oppose the problem AND they oppose the solution. They offer nothing in the way of an alternative solution that actually works. No wonder they get called the party of NO.
