State House legislators were debating the budget written by Republican leaders. One provision diverted funding for family planning from private providers to local public health departments. Democrats claimed it was an attempt to block any more state funds from going to Planned Parenthood. An amendment was offered by Democrats to take that provision out of the budget. Representative Jennifer Weiss (D-Wake) called it a continuation of the the Republicans’ “war on women.” That brought an angry rebuff from Rep. John Blust (R-Guilford):
The Democrats’ attempt to take out the budget provision failed. There could be another attempt when the budget moves to the Senate.

Planned Parenthood has been since it inception a fascist eugenics program. It targets poor, black women in order to reduce the black population. It targets prenatal girls for slaughter. It is a vile and evil cabal.
