Yes folks rather than worrying about fixing the economy or getting our troops out of Iraq....The Grand Old Party is going after women using breast pumps(for feeding children breast milk) and other apparently more important issues..

While I'm not about to go through all those links, I can already tell you that the South Dakota bill does NOT legalize the killing of abortion providers (there's a link here on CD where it's already been discussed).

And the Missouri bill does NOT dispense with child labor laws. (Yes, I know the headline you've posted only says 'modify', and that is true, it will modify those laws, not eliminate them.)

Both of those bills are being sensationalized well beyond the actual scope of what they do.

Always bet on P2S to bring us a nuanced view of today's issues.

I thought that was what obama was supposed to do.

There is only so much the GOP can do with only controlling the House. You'll have to wait until 2012 when the GOP hopefully takes the Senate and White House to see the big changes.

My how easiy it is to confuse the left or for them (specially gays) to lie.

GOP against forcing people to pay for murder (yes some people view abortion as murder)
Women brest fed long before breast pumps were ever made. They can do it again or buy their own.

If you are worried about working children, whine to hollywood who works some children from the time they are born.
