Both Sides of Eric Cantor's Mouth

Eric Cantor is suddenly concerned about who's in the doctor's office with us:

"The doctor's office is the last place anyone would want to find the IRS."

I believe his concern stems from the fact that, particularly for women, the doctor's office has been getting crowded.

For decades we have had to make room for all the representatives of private insurance companies; in the heyday of managed care, there were all kinds of folk, from nurses to administrators, and even occasionally a doctor.

But Eric Cantor's proud contribution to the "manning" of the doctor's office has been all his votes to criminalize abortion.  He has voted every which way to limit a woman's rights when she is in her doctor's office, from forcing her to watch a sonogram to controlling how many weeks to who pays for the visit to where she can go.

And all these bills, should they become law, require personnel.  More enforcement personnel, in fact, than it would take to stand arm-in-arm guarding the Mexican border.

So I would like to take this opportunity to put Mr. Cantor's mind to rest (and I do believe a little rest would be good for such a panicky little man).

Only an idiot would think that the IRS is going to be involved in medical decisions.  The IRS would have lots less to do with medical decisions than does the insurance industry, to which Cantor would like to return all control by repealing the Affordable Care Act.

Obviously, this is another "keyword" mind game.  The IRS has become the fall guy for, well, everything, but it started with the "scandal" that right-wing groups were having applications for tax-exempt status denied.  In fact, political groups on both sides were being denied, as they should have been.  But Democrats being Democrats, instead of saying, "Yeah, what of it?" they cowered and allowed "IRS" to become yet another bad word eliciting knee-jerk rage like Benghazi.

I would like to hear Eric Cantor's defense of those votes which would place law enforcement solidly in the doctor's office with American women, and then he can explain why he thinks one more guy would make a difference in there.
