“Pro-Life” Republicans

Republicans are “pro-life?” How about pro-life in-utero. After that, you’re on your own:
The first of five abortion-restricting bills passed by the state Legislature was signed into law yesterday by [Florida's Republican] Gov. Rick Scott. House Bill 97 removes coverage for abortions in health care insurance exchanges created by federal health care reform. The law provides exceptions for cases of rape, incest and a threat to the woman’s life.
And then there’s this:
Last week Gov. Rick Scott signed the state’s budget, which proposed reductions to health services for women and children. He also vetoed millions more in health service projects set aside specifically for women and children. Programs that aim to lower infant mortality and increase women’s health in the state have seen a major setback since Scott took office.
