The GOP reaches a new low: they are frankly honest about their interest in<br>
sticking their noses into the reproductive choices of women, but should<br>
those children be less than physically or mentally perfect? They don't give<br>
a rat's patootey, particularly when they can make those children the victims<br>

these soulless Idaho legislators.<br>

Idaho Republicans kill bill to help disabled children in revenge over<br>
Democrat protests<br>

BOISE - Idaho Republicans took revenge on Democrats for their stall tactics,<br>
killing a bill to help disabled children whose sponsor was a Democrat.<br>
<br>
Wednesday's 52-15 vote dumped a measure aimed at helping children with<br>
special needs get access to early intervention services.<br>
<br>
It won a 27-8 bipartisan vote in the Senate, where it was sponsored by<br>
Republican Sen. Tim Corder.<br>
<br>
But since the House floor sponsor was Democratic Rep. Phylis King,<br>
Republicans voted en masse to dump it.<br>
<br>
Republican Rep. Mack Shirley conceded it was retaliation for Democrats'<br>
delays, but said the measure will likely return once this dispute between<br>
the two parties has been resolved.<br>
<br>
Shirley and other Republicans said they'd enthusiastically support the bill,<br>
under different circumstances.<br>
<br>
King called the vote to dump the measure petty and insensitive.<br>
