Paul Ryan: "I’m Never Going To Not Vote Pro-Life"
Over the last two years, Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan has become the face of the new GOP. He is author of the "Ryan Budget," a draconian plan touted by the GOP that would essentially undermine or completely eliminate social safety net programs like Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, and Social Security, as well as transfer those "savings" to pay for a new and even more unequal tax code that would greatly benefit those at the top. Ryan's "fiscal conservatism"--some would call it radicalism--has earned him criticism from the left and fed a growing push on the right for him to become Mitt Romney's running mate.
With so much focus on Ryan's fiscal austerity (except when it comes to tax cuts for the rich), his extreme position on women's reproductive rights has faded into the background. Like almost all House Republicans, he has voted in lockstep with his party to deny women access to safe abortion care, contraception, breast exams, and other critical preventive care; repeal the Afforable Care Act; and de-fund Planned Parenthood.
