The So Called War on Women

This is getting out of control America.  You can not and will not be allowed to violate our constitutional rights any longer.  We all need to stand up and say enough is enough.  In another states attempt to strip women of their constitutionally granted write to choose what to do with their body.  This is incredibly un-American.  These law makers in Mississippi whom just passed a bill that will effectively close the states only abortion clinic a few days ago.  The law states that any doctor perform abortions in the state must have admitting privileges at a state hospital.  What does this do for anyone? Nothing.  What it does is restrict who can give abortions in the state, and it's already really impossible in Mississippi, this makes it so.  Now I doubt that this law will stay in effect for very long, it's so blatantly unconstitutional that it screams to me undone.  If you're reading this and live in Mississippi do whatever is in your power you can to get behind having this bill overturned.

This is not the only legislation working its way around the country in these weeks.  In Pennsylvania the congress there is trying to pass a bill that is similar to the bill that passed in Virginia recently that would force all women claiming to have had a miscarriage to be subjected to an ultrasound.  The ultrasound would be done by shoving a twelve inch long probe into their uterus.  The most disgusting part is that part of the law requires that the screen for the ultrasound be in full view of the woman.  When asked how forcing a woman to watch that could be considered right, the Governor said that they weren't forcing the women to watch, that they could just shut their eyes.

Oh my GOD, how is this okay?  I know that we are calling this a war on women in this country, but it's not a  war on women.  It's not a war at all.  This is the end of justice.  People in this country have the right not have their bodies invaded by the government because certain super-right tea party politicians and Americans have a religious problem with abortion.  This is something they have no right to do.  They even agree with this.when the helped defeat another law that democrats where trying to pass in another state that said that conception began at fertilization and that anything that prevented fertilization was against the law.  Making male masturbation illegal.  The same right wing political pun-dents that think a women should have no right to
decide what to do with their body, feel it is unconstitutional to say what a man does with his.  For now.  Some states have actually passed laws that make it illegal for a man to masturbate, like Alabama, for instance.  This is the greatest miss use of our taxpayers dollars.  It has to stop.  Our state, our country has so many more important things to worry about than whether or not I play with myself.  We need to fix the economy, lower gas prices, fix the health care system.  Why are things like this even being discussed?

Woman Forced to Watch Her Baby Die

If you are one of those people who are against abortion, and believe that there is no situation where an abortion is a good idea, then watch this video. It is one thing to try to prevent women from using it as a form of birth control, but most abortions are NOT in that category. 

A woman from Nebraska was forced to watch her baby suffocate to death because she was not able to get an abortion regardless of the situation.  Her water broke at 23 weeks, which, without the amniotic fluids, the baby would not develop lungs to survive after birth. So when she was forced to wait to go into labor naturally, and when the baby was born, watched as her baby girl gasped for breath until she died.

So. With that short re-cap of this woman’s story, how can you honestly believe that banning abortion after 20 weeks regardless of the situation is a GOOD thing?! A woman makes her choices for a damn good reason (at least most of us). The choice to abort a baby is not something that we would take lightly, and it’s certainly not something that you have the right to take away!

So I have a question for the legislators of Nebraska. What the hell would it have hurt, to allow this woman an abortion? If you can’t respect a woman's choice to do what is likely the hardest thing that they will ever do, then YOU do not deserve the respect to create laws that govern us. There are about a dozen states who are looking into copying this law, because they don’t actually CARE what is best for the woman or their families. That is not important to them.

Bomb at Planned Parenthood in Wisconsin

What the freaking hell is this? There isn’t much information on it so far, but apparently there was some kind of bomb planted at a Planned Parenthood near Appleton. A homemade explosive device was placed on a windowsill at 7:40 pm on Sunday. There wasn’t much damage, and nobody was in the building at the time so nobody was hurt. They will be reopening the facility on Tuesday.

They don’t know who did it yet, but I can pretty much guess WHY they did it. This has everything to do with abortion, and how Planned Parenthood is a clinic that provides women with that service. I understand what Wisconsin is more politically motivated after the whole deal with Governor Scott Walker and his goonies, but really? A bomb? What the hell, Wisconsin?! If one person acts on it, that means there are dozens, if not hundreds of people who think it. This person who bombed a medical clinic is probably a republican extremist (I say extremist because not all republicans are crazy, and quite frankly, this is terrorism), and I just happened to notice that the Republican primaries are happening today.

The reaction to this story seems to be mixed; some who approve of the actions of this individual, and some who (like me) clearly dislike what has happened. One theory that seems to be common, is that Planned Parenthood planted that bomb themselves to get publicity and pity.

“I'll bet you 10 to 1 it was the work of the pro-Aborts to try and gain support and sympathy for their murderous agenda or the place would have far more damage. More election time stunts and distractions by the stupid and transparent psychos on the left.” - Lucas4440

“It was probably an M-80 someone from PP or the left planted themselves to blame True Christians or the Right since have been caught using tax dollars and Susan B. Komen dollars to perform abortions, as a distraction. A real bomb would have done some serious damage.” - FLHR12

Those on the other side of the argument, point out how Christianity seems to have their own brand of the Taliban in the sense that those who are overly religious become violent.

“Ah yes, the Christian Taliban strike once again. Just like every religious fanatic, when they world will not listen to your religious ramblings - you turn to violence and bombings. I will guarantee Jesus would have been proud of you .... NOT!” - afmcalax

“Do you have evidence the bomber was not Christian? Citing in this case an applicable use of statistics -- the Pro-Life movement's targeting of Planned Parenthood and other medical facilities is a documented fact.

According to the most recent statistics from the National Abortion Federation, there were 114 violent attacks against abortion providers in 2011, including three physical assaults, one bombing, one incident of arson, 27 counts of vandalism and eight burglaries.” - reality_sanity

Republicans are noticeably more religious than others, so my point is that this person (who was probably a little disturbed) had gone home after church and saw this video that had aired in Wisconsin because of the upcoming primaries, and got pissed off because his religious extremist views made him think that he was personally responsible for preventing other people from seeking an abortion.

Or maybe he was entirely against how Planned Parenthood gives free health care. Who knows? Some of these republicans are actually congratulating this person for doing what ‘everybody has been thinking’. Others are outright condemning the violence that has resulted from a likely religious nutcase.
