The American Prospect has a nice summary of the modern GOP's agenda:

WOMEN AND CHILDREN LAST

House Republicans are pushing forward with their “shared sacrifice”
agenda. Today, they're asking newborns and low-income women to pitch in:
The House is expected to vote on a proposal to cut the Women, Infants
and Children program, which helps about 9 million mothers and their
young children, by 13 percent. The Center for Budget and Policy
Priorities estimates that up to 350,000 food-assistance recipients would
be cut off if the measure passes. At the same time, the House is also
debating a bill to increase the Pentagon’s budget by $17 billion -- even
though Defense already makes up more than 50 percent of discretionary
federal spending. Hey, maybe they’ll make their sacrifice next year.

Wow!
Shows the GOPs priorties... shootin'& killin' over life.

It should come as no surprise that the GOP doesn't give a damn about
impoverished families.
