Bobby Jindal has found a Death Panel
And hey, whaddaya know, it's right there in the Governors Office.
Gov. Bobby Jindal's latest budget cuts will diminish funding for women's shelters and hospices throughout the state, shrinking the number of beds in the already struggling St. Landry-Evangeline Sexual Assault Center...Jindal is making his play for Republican/Teabagger leadership but he might as well give up any hope of running for president.
Jindal announced the cuts recently, saying the state was moving away from costly residential care for domestic violence victims in favor of short-term hotel stays and family care. The cuts were made to help close a $166 million midyear budget deficit and a Among them was a 16 percent drop in the amount spent on contracts the state holds with shelters and other domestic violence programs...
"Any further reduction would very much harm the ability for us to provide these services," Lacombe said. "And Louisiana ranks at the top of the nation every year in the number of women who are murdered by their domestic partners. And that's with the current services, so without these services, those numbers will surely rise."

Why are you in support of big government intervention in the relationship between a man and his property. Why, if a man kills his property, that's between him and God, and government shouldn't interfere!
Some folks struggle to tell the differeence between the U.S. Christian right and the Islamic jihadi right. After all, both hold that women are the property of their husband, both hold that their women must dress in religious garb (see typical Pentecostal women's garb -- a long flowing dress with long sleeves and tall collar that hides all flesh below the jawbone), and both hold a hatred of those who practice another (or no) religion. But never fear, I've figured out the difference: Bacon.
That is all.
