Buffy Orpington asked me to cross-post this so here it is:

We know all those frozen fetuses are awfully important, but look how unimportant actual people are to the Republicans.

1-800-SUICIDE, the nation's best known, private and confidential suicide prevention hotline network, will be shut off at midnight tonight unless action is taken. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA), a division of HHS, has decided to end all funding for KBHC while continuing to owe them $266,000 from over 2 years ago. Instead of sending the funds that were already allocated, SAMHSA has gone on to create their own competing crisis hotline -- which gives them access to callers' private information through phone records. 1-800-SUICIDE does not disclose its phone records to the federal government.

Nice, huh. Over 30,000 Americans commit suicide every year and they can't provide funds to help prevent many of these deaths, because the hotline doesn't give callers' confidential info to the government...
