Default The Nanny State

Which political party is desperately controlling, via law implementation, on social issues?

Which party will sacrifice many womens breast cancer and cervical cancer health to prevent someone from possibly getting information about abortion, because their religion tells them not to have abortions - so they want everyone in the country to have to conform to their views?

One political party wants more people to get better health care and get insured. The other political party is actively taking access to health care away.

Which party is the nanny state?

First he gutted worker's rights, then slashed state education funding and dumbed-down sex ed. Next on Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's hit list? Breast and cervical cancer screenings for women. Come January 1, Wisconsinites who rely on Planned Parenthood to access free cancer screenings may be out of luck.

The Wisconsin Well Woman Program is an 17-year-old state service created to ensure that women ages 45 to 64 who lack health insurance can access preventive health screenings. It is administered by the Department of Health Services and provides referrals and screenings for breast cancer, cervical cancer, and multiple sclerosis at no cost. The state currently uses a number of contractors to coordinate and provide those services, including Planned Parenthood. But now, in a move that could leave many women in the state without access to the program, the Walker government is ending Planned Parenthood's contract.
